Because\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The old sink is cracked or leaking and you think it\u2019s beyond repair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re looking for a sink with better features, like dual basins.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want an attractive update to an older kitchen.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the reason you want a new kitchen sink, you\u2019re feeling a bit stressed about doing the job yourself. Good news! You don\u2019t have to. When it comes to <\/span><a href=\"\/service-areas\/plattsburgh-ny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kitchen plumbing in Plattsburgh, NY<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can always hire a professional plumber to handle your kitchen sink installation. In fact, you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can you do this DIY?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potentially, yes. Often people think that DIY is the only way to get a new sink in\u2014they make the mistake of believing professional plumbers are only there to fix plumbing troubles like busted pipes and clogged drains. But plumbers handle almost any job you can think of for a home\u2019s plumbing system, and it\u2019s best to let them do these jobs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We don\u2019t recommend you try to install a sink on your own. Too much can go wrong, starting with picking the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrong<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> type of sink. Connecting water lines, drains, the garbage disposal \u2026 you\u2019ll begin to see why all this is a set of hassles and potential mistakes you don\u2019t want to deal with. You can hand all of it off to our plumbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>We\u2019ll pick the right sink<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you decide to hire us for your sink installation, we\u2019ll start everything off right with finding the sink that matches your needs, as well as the space available. Tell us what you\u2019re looking for in a new sink, such as features (built-in soap dispenser! pull-down sprayer!) and designs. There is a wide range of sink options available today, and the right one can transform your kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>We\u2019ll quickly remove the old sink<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the parts of new sink installation that DIY-ers think will go smoothly, then ends up confounding them. There are numerous steps, from disconnecting water lines, removing the garbage disposal, loosening the sink from the counter without damaging the counter \u2026 if you feel tired reading this, you\u2019ll understand why professional plumbers are so valuable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Now we\u2019ll get the new sink in place<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything that was dismantled in the previous step now must go back into place for the new sink\u2019s arrival. If you\u2019ve changed from an overmount sink to an undermount (or vice versa), the attachment of the new sink will require extra changes. We\u2019ll caulk the new sink into place, a step that must be done correctly or the sink will leak. The hot and cold water lines now go into place, then the garbage disposal (by the way, great time to get a new one!), and the drainpipes. Everything must go in right to ensure the sink will neither leak nor shake around and cause parts to come loose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope you can see why you want pros on this job: we\u2019ll get the work done fast and right, and this will save you time and stress in the present and money in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Red Rock Mechanical, LLC serves Northwest Vermont and Northeast New York. <\/b><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Schedule kitchen plumbing services with us today.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can always hire a professional plumber to handle your kitchen sink installation.
