What's included
What Our Kitchen Sink Leak Repair Includes
Every kitchen sink leak repair in Melrose Park, Illinois, includes a full inspection of the sink assembly, not just the part that is leaking. We check the faucet, p-trap, drain pipe, garbage disposal unit, and supply lines so you do not get a second leak next week. Here is what is covered.
✓
Full Leak Inspection
We dry the area and run water through the sink to find every leak, not just the one you noticed. We check the p-trap, drain pipe, faucet base, disposal unit, and supply lines. This takes about 15 minutes and catches hidden leaks before they cause more damage.
✓
Part Replacement
If a p-trap gasket, faucet cartridge, drain pipe section, or disposal unit has failed, we replace it. We carry common parts on the truck, so most repairs are finished in one visit. We use pipe sealant and plumber's tape on every threaded connection.
✓
Drain Line Testing
After the repair, we fill the sink and let it drain completely. We run the garbage disposal and check the dishwasher drain line if it connects to the sink. We watch every joint with a dry paper towel to confirm there is no moisture.
✓
Cabinet Dry-Out
If water collected in the cabinet, we wipe it dry and check for soft wood or mold. We tell you if the cabinet needs more drying time or if there is damage that needs a carpenter. We do not leave standing water behind.
✓
Warranty and Tips
You get a written warranty on the repair. We also show you how to prevent the same leak from coming back, like not pouring grease down the drain and checking the p-trap for corrosion once a year.
How it works
How Our Kitchen Sink Leak Repair Works
01
Phone Diagnosis
When you call 708-726-5955, we ask where the water is showing up: under the cabinet, at the faucet base, or on the floor. That tells us what parts to bring. We schedule a same-day or next-morning arrival window and text you when the plumber is on the way.
02
On-Site Leak Detection
The plumber arrives with gloves, a bucket, and a flashlight. We dry the area, run the faucet, fill the sink, and watch every joint. We check the p-trap, drain pipe, garbage disposal unit, and supply lines. Most leaks are found in under 15 minutes.
03
Repair or Replace
Once we find the source, we show you the failed part. If it is a p-trap gasket or faucet cartridge, we replace it on the spot. If the drain pipe is cracked or the disposal is leaking from the housing, we quote a replacement and get your approval before starting.
04
Test and Verify
After the repair, we fill the sink, run the disposal, and let the water run for 5 full minutes. We check every joint with a dry paper towel. If there is even a hint of moisture, we redo the connection. We do not leave until the leak is gone.
05
Cleanup and Walkthrough
We wipe down the cabinet, remove our drop cloth, and show you what we fixed. You get a written warranty on the repair and tips to prevent the same leak from coming back. Most jobs take 1 to 2 hours from arrival to cleanup.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
RIDGID Drain Snake
We use a RIDGID drain snake to clear food particle clogs and soap scum buildup in the drain pipe before we repair a leak. A clogged pipe puts pressure on the p-trap and can cause it to leak.
Milwaukee Inspection Camera
A Milwaukee drain camera lets us see inside the drain pipe to find cracks, corrosion, or blockages that cause leaks. This is the best way to find a hidden leak behind a wall or under the floor.
DrainX Auger
We use a DrainX auger for kitchen sink clogs that are too deep for a plunger. After augering, we check the p-trap and drain joints for leaks.
General Pipe Cleaners Hydro Jetting Machine
For heavy grease clogs in commercial or residential lines, we use a General Pipe Cleaners hydro jetting machine. It scours the pipe walls clean and reduces the chance of a main sewer line clog.
Pipe Wrench and Plumber's Tape
We use a pipe wrench to tighten slip nuts and supply line connections. Plumber's tape goes on every threaded connection to prevent leaks.
Bucket and Gloves
We bring a bucket to catch water when we open the p-trap and gloves to keep the work area clean. We use drop cloths to protect your cabinet floor.
