Sink Installation
Replacing a kitchen or bathroom sink, or chasing a leak under one. Ryan hooks it up, fixes the drain and supply lines, and tells you the price first.
Short answer: Ryan installs kitchen and bathroom sinks and repairs the plumbing under them: the drain, the trap, the supply lines and the shutoff valves. Most sink leaks come from one of those connections.
A new sink looks like a simple swap. The part that goes wrong is under it. The drain has to line up with the pipe in the wall, the supply lines have to reach the new faucet, and every joint has to hold water.
Ryan does the plumbing side of a sink replacement. He disconnects the old sink, makes the new connections, and tests it before he leaves. He also replaces old supply lines and shutoff valves when they are worn, so you do not install a new sink on old parts.
Countertop work is separate. If the new sink needs a new countertop or a cutout, that comes before the plumbing, and it is not something Ryan does. Tell him what you bought and send a photo of the cabinet when you call or text, and he will tell you if it is a job he can take.
Leak under the sink, or a new sink to hook up?
Text Ryan a photo of the sink and the cabinet. He is a licensed Master Plumber and answers his own phone, day or night.
Either way works.
For toilets and showers installed in the same visit, the broader fixture installation page lists everything.
Most sink leaks show up under the cabinet. The usual places are the drain connections, the trap (the curved pipe that holds water to block sewer gas), the supply lines to the faucet, and the shutoff valves on the wall.
Our page on a leak under the sink walks through what to check first. If the leak is behind the wall, call or text and tell Ryan.
A slow sink is usually a clog in the trap or the line past it. Ryan clears clogs mechanically and does not use chemical drain cleaners. Read more on our page about a slow draining sink, or see drain cleaning if more than one drain is slow.
In homes on septic, grease poured down a kitchen sink is a common cause of trouble farther down the line. If your kitchen sink keeps clogging, say so when you call.
"I had 3 different companies in the area come out to fix the same issue. I'm so glad I found The Village Plumber who ACTUALLY fixed my issue. My only regret is that I didn't call them first. They came and fixed everything fast and affordable."
Cabins and mountain homes often have older plumbing, a well, a septic system, or a mix. That changes what is under the sink. Older shutoff valves can be stuck, and well water can leave mineral buildup in faucet screens and supply lines.
Ryan comes to you from Ellijay, across North Georgia. Mountain cell service is patchy, so if a call will not connect, send a text with a photo.
Yes. You can buy it yourself and Ryan installs it, or he can source one and include it in the estimate.
No. Ryan does the plumbing. A new countertop or a countertop cutout is a separate job that comes before the sink hookup.
Close the two shutoff valves under the sink by turning them clockwise. Then call or text Ryan with a photo of where the water is.
Yes. If they are worn, corroded or stuck, he can replace them as part of the job and include them in the free estimate.
A smell from the drain can come from a dry or dirty trap, or a venting problem. If it smells like sewage in several places, see our sewage smell page, then call or text.
