- Repair options: Install quarter-turn ball valves, update under-sink shutoffs and wall boxes, label valves for easy future service.
Clogged drain line
- Symptoms: Standing water, slow drain, gurgling, recurring odors, or a clogged sink that returns after plunging.
- Causes: Grease and food accumulation, improper disposal use, flat or back-graded piping, or undersized trap arms.
- Repair options: Professional augering or hydro-jetting, P-trap and tailpiece replacement, re-sloping drain sections, disposal tune-up, and education on best practices.
Low water pressure
- Symptoms: Weak flow at the faucet, difficulty rinsing dishes, pressure drop when the dishwasher runs.
- Causes: Clogged supply stops, scale in aerators or cartridges, partially closed valves, or undersized supply lines.
- Repair options: Clean or replace aerators and cartridges, fully open or replace shutoffs, upsizing or rerouting supply lines when remodeling.
Clogged aerator
- Symptoms: Spraying or uneven faucet stream, reduced flow, or noise at the spout.
- Causes: Sediment and hard water scale common in the Valley.

Kitchen Sink Repair and Replacement
From small leaks to full kitchen sink replacement, we service single, double, farmhouse, and undermount sinks with precision. If your sink drain leaks at the basket strainer or P-trap, we reseal, re-level, and replace worn components with quality parts. For cracked or stained basins, we install new stainless, composite, cast iron, or fireclay sinks to match your countertop cutout and mounting system. We also set correct drain heights during remodels to accommodate deeper bowls and garbage disposals, preventing future standing water and slow drainage. Upgrade options include sound-deadening sink pads, deep-bowl workstation sinks, air gaps for dishwashers, and dedicated hot-water dispensers.
Kitchen Faucet Repair and Replacement
Leaky faucet repair restores performance and saves water, while a new faucet can transform the look and function of your prep space. We repair and replace cartridges, O-rings, and supply hoses on pull-down, pull-out, and bridge-style faucets from major brands. If your faucet drips, wobbles at the base, or has a clogged aerator, our faucet repair service addresses the root cause and tests for smooth swivel and spray pattern. When it is time to upgrade, we offer touchless and voice-activated models, high-arc spouts, filtered water taps, and pot filler fixture installation with the shutoffs and wall support they require. Expect clean escutcheons, aligned handles, and a flawless seal to your sink deck or countertop.
Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
A reliable garbage disposal keeps your kitchen clean and convenient. If your unit hums but does not spin, trips the reset often, leaks from the bottom housing, or clogs the sink, we provide quick garbage disposal repair and clear the obstruction safely. When replacement makes more sense, we complete garbage disposal installation in the same visit with properly sized units, power cord kits, and new mounting flanges. We also verify that your dishwasher drain loop or air gap is correct and that the sink drain alignment promotes fast flow. Upgrade options include quieter, higher-horsepower disposals with stainless components and anti-jam features tailored to your household’s cooking habits.
