Like most plumbing fixtures, we turn on the faucet every day, now more than ever, because clean hands are the best way to maintain good health.

It often requires some elbow grease to investigate the causes of a leaky faucet. If your faucet leaks only for a few minutes after use, it’s only a minor issue that you could fix by cleaning off the mineral buildup on the screen of the spout. Create a paste with white vinegar and baking soda and scrub the spout with an old toothbrush.
More serious issues involve a worn washer, o-ring, or a corroded valve seat. If you plan to complete your own sink repair, most plumbers recommend diagnosing the problem by disconnecting the unit. You’ll need an adjustable wrench, flathead screwdriver, hex key, utility knife, silicone grease, and pliers. Inspect the faucet’s interior for corrosion and use the same paste to clear out any mineral deposits.
During our sink repair services, we often recommend a faucet replacement for long-term benefits.
When it comes to sizing and materials used, the kitchen sink is most popular in the form of an undermount or drop-in.
Stainless steel and composite are fairly common in residential kitchens, whereas bathrooms have ceramic or enameled cast iron.
In terms of which requires the least amount of repairs, it’s hard to say because it really depends on how well it’s installed and maintained. Most of the pros and cons revolve around the ease of cleaning. Most kitchen sink repairs involve clogged sinks, worn out seals, and inefficient faucets.
If your supply line is damaged, you’ll need water line repairs, during which our qualified plumber will most likely replace your supply hose. However, if it’s your drain line leaking, we suggest checking for cracks and clogs in the P-trap.
It’s important that you turn off your shut-off valve to stop any water flow until the leak is fixed. Often, your sink drain pipe connections could be faulty. Ensure you know what’s exactly causing the leak and fix it temporarily with plumber’s tape or clamps. Your local plumber will carry out the necessary pipe replacement.
Most kitchen sink repairs are related to faulty components such as a broken o-ring or worn out caulk beads. Or, it could be a drain clog or leak, faucet leak, or loose supply lines. If you experience this issue after conducting adjustments, it’s likely that you have loose parts that need to be tightened. That said, the kitchen’s drain lines are often under a lot of stress because it’s also responsible for draining your garburator and dishwasher. If you maintain these appliances regularly, you will experience less clogs and leaks.
The cost will depend on the damage and details of the repair needed. When hiring a professional team like Mr. Rooter Plumbing, Regina homeowners will get a thorough diagnosis of the damage.
