What This Service Covers
Sink repair and replacement covers issues from a leaking drain assembly or corroded P-trap under the cabinet, to a cracked or chipped basin, to a full swap to a new sink and countertop cutout for either a kitchen or bathroom. It includes the plumbing connections beneath the sink as well as the fixture itself.
In Aitkin, MN, older homes often have original sink basins and P-traps that have simply reached the end of their service life, developing slow leaks under the cabinet that go unnoticed until cabinet flooring or nearby drywall shows water damage.
Why a Leaking Sink Should Not Wait
A slow drip under a sink is easy to ignore because it is out of sight, but the moisture it creates inside a closed cabinet has nowhere to evaporate quickly, leading to swollen cabinet flooring, mold growth, and eventually damage to surrounding drywall. Left unaddressed, what starts as a minor leak under the sink can turn into a more expensive repair involving cabinetry and flooring, not just plumbing.
How We Handle Repair and Replacement
Inspect under-sink plumbing
We check the P-trap, supply lines, and drain assembly for the source of any leak or corrosion.
Repair or recommend replacement
Minor leaks are repaired directly, while a cracked basin or severely corroded plumbing may call for a full sink swap.
New sink fitting
For replacements, we help select a sink that fits your existing countertop cutout or discuss modification options.
Reconnect plumbing
Supply lines, drain assembly, and any disposal or dishwasher connections are properly reconnected and sealed.
Leak test
We run water through the fixture and check every connection point for leaks before finishing.
What To Expect
Most repairs take 30 minutes to an hour, while a full sink replacement typically takes 2 to 3 hours depending on countertop fit and any additional connections like a garbage disposal or dishwasher. We protect surrounding cabinetry and countertops during the work, and confirm no leaks remain before considering the job complete.
