Sink Repair and Installation

Sink work covers the basin, the drain assembly, and the supply connections. Repair addresses leaks at the drain or strainer; installation covers new sinks set, sealed, and connected so the counter and cabinet below stay dry.

Common problems and possible causes

Leaking strainer basket

The putty or gasket under the strainer can fail. Re-sealing stops water from leaking into the cabinet.

Cracked basin

A crack in a sink can't be reliably repaired. Replacing the basin prevents leaks and water damage.

Damp cabinet

A slow leak at the drain or supply line dampens the cabinet. Locating and sealing it protects the cabinet.
