Expert Tips
- Rick Jurzyk
Keep your sinks sparkling clean and odor-free by regularly pouring a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain. Let it sit for a few minutes before flushing it with hot water. This natural solution not only helps remove stubborn stains and grease buildup but also eliminates unpleasant odors. Remember to avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes and harm the environment. For professional sink maintenance and repairs in New Haven & Fairfield Counties, trust our reliable services to keep your sinks in top-notch condition.

Installation

When it comes to installation, the only problem that could prove time-consuming is your choice and the style of sink you want to have installed. The entire job is quite simple and can be accomplished in no time at all by trained professionals who have installed countless sinks over the past few years.

Replacement

Much like other items within your home, sinks and faucets have a lifespan. This lifespan can range from a few years to over a decade. The point of the matter is that one day your sink will no longer function properly. In this scenario, you will want to replace the entire sink and install a brand new, more modern option to ensure the continued use of your kitchen or bathroom. Many new models of sinks are available, with different features installed right out of the box already.

If you are in need of sink repair or replacement, call Rick’s Plumbing at 203-874-6629. We can also install a brand new toilet in your new home.

Frequently Asked Questions

An undermount sink attaches beneath the countertop so there's no lip, which gives a cleaner look and makes wiping crumbs into the sink easier. A drop-in sink sits on top of the counter with a visible rim, which is generally simpler and less expensive to install.
In most cases yes, as long as the new sink fits the existing cutout or the cutout can be adjusted. If you're switching sink styles entirely, like going from drop-in to undermount, that sometimes does require countertop work.
Slow draining is usually from buildup inside the trap or drain line, things like soap scum, hair, or food debris that's narrowed the pipe over time. It's worth having it looked at before it turns into a full clog.
A straightforward sink swap usually takes two to four hours, including disconnecting the old one and hooking up the new supply lines, drain, and disposal if you have one.
It's possible, but farmhouse sinks usually require cabinet and countertop modifications since they sit differently than a standard drop-in. It's worth having someone assess your specific setup before committing.
That's often a dry P-trap, which happens if the sink isn't used often and the water seal evaporates, letting sewer gas up through the drain. Running water for a minute usually fixes it, but if the smell persists, there may be buildup in the drain itself.
Cracks usually come from a heavy impact, like dropping a cast iron pan, or from age and repeated temperature changes weakening the material over time. Once a sink is cracked, it's generally time for a replacement rather than a repair.
Yes, a wobbly sink usually means the mounting clips or adhesive have failed. We can re-secure it properly so it's not putting stress on the plumbing connections underneath.
It's common, especially in older homes. If the existing shutoff valves are corroded or hard to turn, it makes sense to replace them at the same time rather than reconnecting new supply lines to old, unreliable valves.
Stainless steel holds up well to daily wear and is fairly forgiving if you drop something in it. Granite composite and fireclay are also durable, though they come with different price points and maintenance needs.
Yes, that typically means running a new supply and drain line to the island location. It's a bigger job than a straight sink swap, so it helps to plan it out ahead of a remodel.
That usually points to a venting issue in the drain system, where air isn't able to move properly and gets pulled back through the sink drain instead. It's worth having someone check the vent stack and drain connections.
If the leak or clog is isolated right at the curved section under the sink, it's usually just the trap. If there are multiple issues along the drain line or it's original to an older home, a fuller replacement might make more sense.
Yes, that's actually a common combination since both connections are right there under the sink. Doing them together often saves a second visit.
That's usually a leak at the supply line connection, the drain assembly, or the P-trap. It's worth checking before the water damages the cabinet or subfloor underneath.
Vessel sinks usually need a taller faucet and sometimes a different drain height because they sit above the counter rather than in it. It's worth having someone confirm your existing rough-in works before buying one.
Small chips can sometimes be touched up with an enamel repair kit, but larger worn areas usually aren't practical to fully restore. At that point most people opt for replacement.
Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain, use a strainer to catch food scraps, and run cold water when using the disposal. If clogs keep happening despite that, there may be a deeper buildup worth having cleared.
Yes, we can install sinks with integrated accessories like soap dispensers, air gaps, or instant hot water dispensers. Just let us know what you're planning so we can prep the right connections.
Sometimes it's just a different trap configuration or a drain that needs to be vented slightly differently. If it's noticeably slow right after installation, it's worth a quick follow-up to check the connection.
Most 36-inch cabinets accommodate a single large basin or a standard double-basin sink up to about 33 inches wide, though it varies by manufacturer. We can help confirm what fits your specific cabinet.
Yes, a leaking drain assembly is a common repair, usually caused by a worn gasket or a connection that's loosened over time. It's often a quick fix once we're under the sink.
Cast iron sinks can last decades if the enamel is in good shape, so if yours is holding up and you like it, there's no rush to replace it. If it's chipped, rusting through, or you just want a style change, replacement is reasonable.
Yes, we install and repair sinks in restaurants, offices, and other commercial spaces, including multi-basin setups that residential jobs don't usually involve.
If the disposal was connected without clearing the drain line first, leftover debris further down can restrict flow. It's worth having the line checked to rule that out.
Undermount sinks generally aren't recommended with laminate because the exposed edge where the counter meets the sink isn't sealed well and can absorb water over time. Solid surface, quartz, or granite counters work better for undermount installations.
Stick with a soft cloth or sponge and avoid steel wool or abrasive powders, which can dull the finish over time. Wiping in the direction of the grain also helps keep it looking newer longer.
Yes, that involves rerouting the drain and supply lines to the new spot, which is more involved than a standard sink swap. It's the kind of project worth planning during a larger remodel.
A like-for-like sink replacement usually doesn't need a permit. If you're relocating plumbing or making other changes to the drain and supply lines, that's worth checking on ahead of time.
Call us at [phone] and we'll set up a time that works for you. If it's something urgent, like a leak that's actively causing damage, let us know and we'll prioritize it.
