Kitchen sink problems we fix in Tinley Park
We replace kitchen sinks in Tinley Park homes from removal to the last leak check: the old bowl out, the opening prepared, the new undermount, drop-in or farmhouse sink set and every connection under it made new.
Old drain parts that won't line up
Mixed old and new drain parts are where leaks start. With a new sink we replace the trap assembly instead of forcing the old one to fit.
Sink cabinet floor wet or swollen
If the cabinet bottom has swollen, the leak has been there a while. We find it, replace what failed and protect the base going forward.
New sink doesn't match the counter cutout
Before you buy, we check the existing cutout and the cabinet width. That avoids a sink that overhangs, shows gaps or won't drop in.
Faucet holes don't match the new faucet
We plan the faucet, sprayer, soap dispenser and any filtered-water tap together, so the holes and the sink line up.
Chipped or stained porcelain sink
Enameled cast iron and porcelain chip down to dark metal and hold stains no cleaner removes. Replacement is the lasting fix.
Drop-in rim that traps grime
A drop-in rim and its yellowing caulk are hard to keep clean. If the counter is stone or quartz, an undermount sink can often replace it.
Undermount sink pulling away from the counter
Undermount sinks hang from the countertop. When the anchors let go, we clean the old sealant off, refasten the bowl and run a fresh bead of silicone.
