ProLift was outstanding. They showed up on time and diagnosed the problem. They also called the next day and said they could repair the door that day if it was convenient. They did and everything was perfect.

Ended up not using them after scheduling because when it came time to set final appointment, they stated they had to have a 10 hour window to arrive. Having to sit all day waiting on a repair was not acceptable. Even when I asked to set a 4 hour window, they could not comply.

That one went great. I bought the big deal because I could hear a water leak in my house. I didn't know where it was; couldn't see it. They were prompt and they came out and did the service, gave me a very fair price for repairing the leak, and just did a really good overall job.

Called Mr Bogart and he came to the house that day and surveyed the problem and had to cut wall open to repair leak. He made as small of a hole in wall as possible so it made the wall repair easier and I really appreciated that.

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.

The best material to use will depend on your budget and style goals. Fireclay is a great choice but is expensive and heavy. Stainless steel is less expensive and more durable, but lacks the wow factor a clay sink might. Copper is very expensive but lasts a long time and has a striking appearance. Those looking for an industrial look can go with concrete, or those looking for a classic design might choose porcelain.

Yes. You can replace just the stopper portion with a universal sink stopper. All you need to do is open up the existing stopper and pull it up from the drain. You should be able to remove and replace the stopper with bare hands. If the existing stopper seems to be stuck, use a pair of pliers to remove it.

The best option is to alter the plumbing. Moving and centering the drain pipe behind the sink usually does the trick and creates the sleek, minimalist look that pedestal sinks offer. If you don’t want to do any plumbing work, there are a few decorating hacks:

Painting the pipes
Placing shelves, plants, or baskets in front of the pipes
Adding a sink skirt

Pop-up drains come in various sizes, including 1.25", 1.5" and 1.625". Choose a drain the same size or smaller than the hole in your sink.
