Have been using him as my consistent plumber. Any time I call. He's there. He has installed a dishwasher for me, 2 sinks, 2 toilets, garbage disposal, sewage pipes, and other things I don't recall. Have referred him to numerous family and friends of mine.

If you need any furniture repairs done, David is amazing. I had several other people tell me my table couldn't be repaired, without totally refinishing it. But David was able to make it like new. I was so happy with his work I had him back to touch up my kitchen cabinets and dining room suit.

We had a clogged kitchen drain line causing water to back up into our sink. Montco Rooter was able to come out the same day and fix our issue. The crew was friendly and professional and took special care to leave the area cleaner than when they arrived. Grateful for their service.

Sink Repair questions, answered by experts

Try to tighten the clevis crew and adjust the lift rod if your sink stopper won’t stay up. Sometimes your screws became too loose over time, and as a result, there wasn’t enough resistance to keep the sink stopper up. If a damaged lift rod is the cause of the problem, you will need to replace it with a new rod.

Yes, you can replace just the top of a bathroom vanity, which you may choose to do if you love the look of your vintage bathroom cabinets, but the countertops are not your style. Fortunately, it is pretty simple to detach a vanity top from a base for replacement, but you should still shut off the water to avoid a leak. Replacing only the vanity top costs around $400 to $4,300.

Yes, if you live in a climate with extended periods of frost or snow, it’s best to winterize the sink and avoid potential bursting. Similar to winterizing a garden hose, turn off your water from the source. Once turned off, open the faucet so the remaining water completely drains out. You can also pour a small amount of antifreeze down the sink drain so any trapped water won’t freeze.

There’s no definitive answer regarding whether equipping your kitchen island with a stove or sink is better. The right option depends on each homeowner's lifestyle, cooking style, and kitchen layout. If you cook with guests over, having a stove that faces outward can facilitate socialization while you prepare dinner. On the other hand, if you use a lot of produce, having your sink by your prep area makes it easier to clean veggies while cooking. A sink also makes cleanup easier by allowing you to wipe down your prep area and place your dirty dishes in the sink.

Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.
