Our kitchen sink had been draining slowly for a while and finally stopped all together. Dewey came out promptly, ran the sewer cable machine through the lines and now the sinks, showers and everything drains terrific! He was super clean and professional. I highly recommend Crofton’s Plumbing

Sink Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Older faucet fixtures may have some corrosion, leaving them stuck. Try a few techniques to loosen the fixtures.

Wrap the fixture with a towel and tap the base with a hammer.
Use a putty knife to gently remove any caulk that may be holding the handle or fixture in place.
Apply a few drops of penetrating oil around the base of the fixture or around the nuts.
Purchase a faucet pulling tool to pop the fixture loose.

The biggest sign that your flange leaks is if you notice water at the base of the toilet. The cause is likely due to a poor flange installation, so you might have issues with loose bolts, an uneven flange, or a cracked plastic flange. Add a deteriorating wax seal to this, and you have a recipe for disaster. The best solution is to shut off the water valve, replace the toilet flange, and seal it with a new wax ring.

No, all faucets are not compatible with all sinks. Because your countertops and your sink likely have a set number of holes already built in, you’ll need to find a faucet with the same amount of holes to work with your existing sink.

Depending on the issue and materials, costs range from $150 to $500.

Most faucets come with a rubber or plastic gasket that prevents leaks—but that’s not always the case. If your faucet doesn’t come with a gasket or it’s leaking, use a caulk gun to seal the gaps and prevent water damage.
