kitchen sink

Looking for some advice on moving this kitchen sink. Right now it’s in a corner which doesn’t really work for any reasonable layout. We want to move it about 2ft to the left and I’m just trying to gauge how tough of a diy it is and if there’s anything special I need to consider. Here’s what I...

Hello everyone. I'm in the process of replacing a basket in my kitchen sink, and need to adjust the position of the tailpiece to accommodate the height of the new basket. The problem I'm having is that the tailpiece seems to be quite well stuck in the piping, such that I can't get any movement...

This problem has been plaguing me for years, mostly due to lack of knowledge. It's a one story 30+ year old house with a combination of steel, copper and PVC pipes. The laundry washing machine is in the same room as the kitchen. If I turn the sink on, the water will go down indefinitely, if I...

Hi there, thanks for taking my question! I’m updating my kitchen with granite countertop and also getting a new sink and need advice. I’m considering to go from the current drop in double basin sink with 6” depth to a single basin undermount sink with 9 1/2” depth. I’d like to know given the...

I keep getting different answers - some plumbers think the washing machine hookup is bad and another one doesn't know what the issue is. We inherited this home and the old washing machine. When it comes up in the sink it goes back down when the water is let out. No other plumbing issues in house...

One of the strainers in my kitchen sink (the side without the garbage disposal) started leaking in the putty/gasket area. After seeing a bunch of videos about how to replace it, I attempted to do the same. However, while all videos talk about removing the lock nut and having that be the hardest...

Hello People! I have an issue with my kitchen sink, and there seems to be an extremely deep clog (100ft+) in the piping system, and it's causing my kitchen sink to drain very slowly, about a kitchen sink full of water will drain when left overnight. I have tried lye and then using a snake (2...

Has anyone ever seen a kitchen sink faucet that can switch between 2 water sources? Kind of like the water guns that bars use to switch between soda/water, but for a household kitchen sink? We are getting an under-sink Reverse Osmosis water filter soon, and looking at options to not drill a...

Just did my countertops and had new double sink installed. The new sink drains are not centered as before, but offset. The installers took out the old one before I could take a picture of setup. The old setup had the garbage disposal installed on the left side. With the plumbing that is in place...

I have nice big typical double kitchen sink, or so I thought. It has a standard 3.5" drain hole on the right side, but on the left side, the drain basket is molded into the stainless steel and the hole is only about 1-3/4" in diameter. The pipe just broke off at the threads which had just...

Hi, We live in Arizona. Pictured is our current setup. We're getting a single basin sink with a new disposal and all new pipes and shut off valves. Circled in red is a 'vent' I think... But I'm not sure what its purpose is and if we need to factor one in to our new setup. If anything it's...
