Identifying When A Sink Needs To Be Repaired
Most of the time, you will know when your sink needs to be repaired. Sometimes it’s as obvious as a leaky seal or malfunctioning garbage disposal. However, the repercussions for failing to notice certain problems with your sink can be painful. When a sink begins to leak into the cabinets underneath, water damage can quickly accumulate, causing rot, mold, and ongoing damage. So, at the first sign of a broken or damaged sink, call the pros at My Handyman of Dover, Portsmouth, and Rochester for reliable sink repair services.
How To Know When It's Time to Replace Your Sink
There is no set rule that tells you when you need to replace your sink. Most of the time, it’s up to you. However, you don’t want your sink to outlive its functional lifespan. If installed properly, sinks can last decades, but they don’t always last that long. If you need repeated repairs, then the sink installation service costs may be a wise investment. Some of the reasons that homeowners replace their kitchen and bathroom sinks include:
- Leaks – Old and worn-out sinks eventually start to leak. Sometimes the leaks come from pipes, cracks, or damaged seals. If your sink is leaking, it might be a sign that it’s time for an upgrade.
- Stains – When you scrub and scrub, but a discolored spot won’t budge, you’ve got a stained sink. Stains can be caused by many things, like rust and mineral deposits. To prevent your sink from becoming an embarrassing eyesore, you’ll need to replace it.
- Remodeling – When remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, you can’t forget about your sink. We will help you select and install a sink that complements the aesthetic design of your newly remodeled space. We can even help you with your whole remodel, installing new countertops, cabinets, and other kitchen features.
- Functionality – If your existing sink doesn’t meet your needs, you have options. We can install a sink with a deeper bowl or a sink with special features, like garbage disposals, sprayers, and water dispensers.
