Our team at Top Notch Plumbing Services Inc. has extensive experience in the plumbing business. We know how to diagnose any plumbing issue you may be dealing with, and we can provide the effective solutions you need. In this article, we will focus on kitchen plumbing. Keep reading to learn about a few common kitchen plumbing issues and what to do about them.
- Clogged Garbage Disposal – One kitchen plumbing problem we frequently get called to deal with is a clogged sink or garbage disposal. To resolve this problem, we first turn off the breaker that powers the garbage disposal circuit to ensure it doesn’t turn on while we are working. Then, we inspect the disposal and, using pliers, remove any debris that might be gumming up the works. Once that’s done, we can also provide advice on how to prevent your disposal from becoming clogged in the future.
- Faucet Leaks – Another common issue with kitchen plumbing is leaky faucets. If your faucet is dripping, we will check the most likely points of failure, starting with the O-ring seal. We’ll cut off the water to the faucet and then take it apart to check this essential component. If it’s worn, frayed, or otherwise damaged, we will replace it with a new one, which should resolve the problem.
- Faucet Sputtering – A third common problem with kitchen plumbing is uneven waterflow or pressure, which often manifests as the faucet sputtering. This issue is typically caused by either a faulty aerator, a bad valve cartridge, or air in the water line, and our team will check for all three. Once we have identified which one is at fault, or if something else entirely is going on, we will take the necessary steps to resolve the issue.
