Should I Hire a Professional to Install My Sink?
Great question! A lot of DIY homeowners try to take on sink installation themselves. The multi-step process of installing a sink is intricate, and many forget one or two key steps that can lead to a flooding situation. A basic sink installation consists of the following:
- Choosing the right sink – Width, depth, material. Each is an important aspect to consider when choosing your sink. Do you want a drop-in or an undermount sink? A workstation sink? All these choices will depend on where your sink is going. We can help you determine what’s the best fit!
- Sink hardware and accessories – Will you be replacing the faucet and knobs? Would you like to add garbage disposal or a side sprayer? A soap dispenser or filtered tap? These additions will complicate the piping installation.
- Removing the old sink – Do you know how and when to cut off the water? When you disconnect the water supply to the faucet, there is often unavoidable spillage from the drainpipes. Existing sink accessories (garbage disposal systems, etc.) will also have to be handled correctly during the removal and installation process. Homeowners underestimate the difficulty of this step the most.
- Installing the new sink – Depending on the material you use, sinks can be extremely heavy and thereby challenging to install without damaging the basin or countertop. After placing your basin of choice into the correct position, you also need to secure it underneath and connect the water line, hardware, and accessories with proper equipment.
Sink installation doesn’t have to be a pain. By hiring the right professionals, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and money in the long run.
