What's included
What's Included in Our Kitchen Sink Installation
Every install includes the labor, seals, and connections needed to get your new sink running. We don't nickel-and-dime you on washers or supply lines. Here's what's covered, and what we can add on if you need it.
✓
Old Sink Removal
We disconnect the faucet, disposal, and p-trap, then lift the old basin out. If it's cast iron, we use a two-person lift to protect your countertop and back. The old sink goes with us when we leave.
✓
Countertop Prep and Cutout
If your new sink is a different size, we trim the cutout with a jigsaw and smooth the edges. We dry-fit the basin before sealing to confirm the rim sits flush and the drain lines up with your existing pipe.
✓
New P-Trap and Supply Lines
Every install gets a new p-trap and fresh supply lines. Old traps corrode and old supply lines crack. Replacing them during the install is cheaper than a second service call later. We use pipe sealant and plumber's tape on every joint.
✓
Faucet and Disposal Reconnection
We reconnect your existing faucet and garbage disposal unit to the new sink. If either is failing, we'll show you and quote a replacement before we proceed. Most reconnections add 20 to 30 minutes to the job.
✓
Leak Test and Cleanup
We fill the basin, run the disposal, and check every connection under pressure. If anything drips, we fix it before we leave. Then we wipe down the counter and cabinet, haul away debris, and walk you through the finished job.
How it works
Our Kitchen Sink Installation Process
01
Phone Assessment
We ask what kind of sink you bought, what's currently installed, and whether the countertop is granite, quartz, laminate, or butcher block. That tells us what tools to load and whether we need a second tech. You get a price range on the call, usually within five minutes.
02
Shutoff and Removal
First thing on site, we shut off the supply valves and drain the lines into a bucket. Then we disconnect the faucet, garbage disposal unit, and p-trap. The old sink comes out clean, and we inspect the cabinet floor for water damage before anything new goes in.
03
Cutout Prep and Test Fit
If the new sink is a different size, we trim the cutout with a jigsaw and file the edges smooth. We dry-fit the basin to confirm the rim sits flush and the drain hole lines up with your existing drain pipe. This step catches problems before sealant goes down.
04
Set, Seal, and Connect
We run a bead of silicone or plumber's putty, set the sink, and clamp it evenly. Then we reconnect the faucet cartridge lines, disposal, and p-trap using new washers. Every threaded joint gets pipe sealant and plumber's tape. This is where leaks get prevented.
05
Test and Cleanup
We fill the basin, pull the stopper, and watch the drain for two full minutes. Then we run the disposal and check both supply lines under pressure. If everything stays dry, we wipe down the counter, haul away the old sink, and walk you through what we did.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Sink Installation
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
RIDGID Pipe Wrench
Used to loosen and tighten supply lines, p-traps, and disposal flanges. The jaw grip prevents rounding off nuts on older fixtures, which saves you from having to replace fittings that are still in good shape.
Milwaukee M12 Cordless Tools
We use Milwaukee drills and drivers for cutting countertops and fastening sink clips. Cordless tools let us work in tight cabinets without running extension cords across your kitchen floor.
DrainX Drain Snake
Clears blockages in the p-trap and branch line before we connect the new sink. A manual snake reaches clogs that a plunger can't move, so your new basin starts with a clear drain.
General Pipe Cleaners Auger
For stubborn clogs deeper in the line, we use a powered auger. It cuts through grease clog and food particle clog buildup that would otherwise restrict flow and cause backups with the new sink.
Spartan Tool Hydro Jetting Machine
High-pressure water scours pipe walls clean. We use it on commercial jobs and older homes where grease and soap scum buildup has narrowed the drain pipe over years of use.
Drain Camera
A drain camera lets us inspect the inside of your drain pipe before we connect the new sink. We check for cracks, root intrusion, and heavy buildup so there are no surprises after the install.
Real results
Before and after.
Rusted Cast Iron Sink Replacement
Before
A homeowner near Winston Park had a cast iron sink that was rusted through at the drain hole. Water leaked into the cabinet every time they used the sink. The cabinet floor was soft and stained, and the p-trap was corroded.
After
We removed the old sink, treated the cabinet floor, and installed a new stainless steel undermount basin. The p-trap and supply lines were replaced. Total job time was three hours. The cabinet is dry and the sink drains fast.
Commercial Kitchen Sink Upgrade
Before
A restaurant near Melrose Park Industrial Park failed a health inspection because the kitchen sink didn't have proper backflow prevention. The existing sink was undersized for the volume of dishes they ran daily, and the floor drain was clogged.
After
We installed a commercial-grade sink with backflow prevention certification, cleared the floor drain, and hydro jetted the main line. The job was done in one day during off-hours. The restaurant passed re-inspection with no issues.
Farmhouse Sink Countertop Cut
Before
A homeowner near the River Grove Border bought a farmhouse sink online but had a standard drop-in sink with a smaller cutout. The countertop was granite and needed precise cutting. They couldn't find anyone willing to take the job.
After
We measured the new sink, trimmed the granite cutout with a diamond blade, and dry-fit the basin before sealing. The farmhouse sink sits flush with no gaps. We reconnected the disposal and dishwasher line. Total time was five hours.
Problems we solve
Problems We Solve With Professional Kitchen Sink Installation
A failing sink causes more damage than most homeowners realize. Water gets into the cabinet, the floor, and sometimes the ceiling below. Here's what we fix and why it matters.
Ask a pro →↗
Leaking p-trap or drain connection
Every install includes a new p-trap and sealed connections. We test under full water pressure before we leave. If the drain pipe itself is cracked, we replace that section during the same visit.
Sink backs up repeatedly
We snake or hydro jet the drain line before connecting the new sink. If the clog is in the main sewer line, we clear that too. The new sink starts with a clear path to the street.
Garbage disposal jam or failure
We clear the jam or replace the unit during the sink install. Since the sink is already out, access is easy and the labor cost is lower. You get a working disposal and a sealed flange.
Most residential installs run $250 to $650 in 2026, including labor, sealant, and new supply lines. A basic drop-in swap sits at the low end. Undermount sinks, farmhouse basins, or jobs that need countertop cutting push toward the high end. Commercial kitchen sink installation melrose park il Illinois projects are quoted per site.
Kitchen sink replacement melrose park il means pulling out your old basin and installing a new one, including reconnecting the faucet, p-trap, and garbage disposal unit. It's different from a repair because the sink itself is swapped, not just a part. We handle the full job in one visit, usually in under four hours.
A standard drop-in or undermount swap takes two to four hours. If we need to cut the countertop or reroute the drain pipe, plan on four to six hours. Same day kitchen sink installation melrose park il Illinois slots are available most weekdays if you call before noon.
A straight sink swap usually doesn't require a permit. If we move the drain line, add a disposal circuit, or change the plumbing layout, Illinois code requires a permit and inspection. We pull it for you and meet the inspector on site. You don't have to file anything yourself.
