When installing an undermount kitchen sink in a granite countertop, use 100% silicone to secure the basin. If you’re worried your sink is too heavy, speak with a countertop professional about how to adhere the sink to the countertop without worrying about issues down the road. Sagging undermount sinks can be a common plumbing problem if they’re not properly adhered, so always make sure you’re using a high-quality material.

Pedestal sinks can be worth it, depending on your goals and bathroom setup. These sinks are an excellent option for saving space in a small bathroom and making the floor feel bigger. You can also save money by installing a pedestal sink instead of a bathroom vanity, which usually costs more. Lastly, you won’t have as much clutter on your pedestal sink as on a vanity countertop.

Many parts of your plumbing system can fail, but clogged drains are one of the biggest plumbing problems you’ll likely encounter. From your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, or bathtub, there are plenty of opportunities for gunk, hair, food scraps, and more to get stuck in drains. When this happens, water will slowly drain, leading to standing water, bad odors, drain flies, and other issues.

Many homeowners can handle a minor clog themselves, but if you have a clog in your main line, you’re best off hiring a local plumber to get the drain back to its normal flow rate.

Always avoid abrasive pads and hard-wired brushes on stainless steel sinks. Metal or steel wool can permanently scratch the surface. And to be safe, it's best to avoid harsh cleaners such as bleach, ammonia, and window cleaners. In most cases, DIY cleaners such as vinegar and baking soda will do the trick.
