About this service
What Kitchen Sink Replacement in Melrose Park, Illinois Involves
Kitchen sink replacement in Melrose Park, Illinois is the removal of your existing sink basin, faucet, and often the garbage disposal unit, followed by installation of a new sink, fresh pipe sealant at every joint, and a full leak test. We shut off the supply lines, disconnect the p-trap and drain pipe, cut or adjust the countertop opening if the new sink has a different footprint, and reconnect everything to code. Most jobs finish in two to four hours.
Melrose Park homes range from 1920s bungalows near Broadway Avenue to newer builds out by Winston Park, and the plumbing behind the sink varies just as much. Old galvanized drain pipe, undersized p-traps, and corroded shutoff valves are common finds once we open the cabinet. If you have been searching for affordable kitchen sink replacement melrose park il Illinois, we quote the full job before we start, including any pipe or valve work your setup needs.

What's included
What Our Kitchen Sink Replacement Includes
Every replacement covers removal, installation, sealing, and testing. We list what is standard so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
✓
Old Sink Removal
We disconnect the supply lines, faucet, disposal, and drain, then lift out the old basin. The cabinet gets cleaned and dried. The old sink and hardware are hauled away at no extra charge.
✓
New Sink Installation
We set the new basin into the cutout, level it, and secure the mounting clips. If the opening needs to be enlarged for a different sink size, we cut it cleanly and seal the raw edge.
✓
Drain and Trap Connection
Fresh pipe sealant and plumber's tape go on every threaded joint. We connect the p-trap, drain pipe, and disposal unit, then check the trap arm slope so the drain flows correctly.
✓
Faucet and Supply Hookup
We install or reconnect the faucet, attach the hot and cold supply lines, and open the shutoff valves. If a valve is seized or weeping, we replace it so you are not chasing a leak later.
✓
Leak Test and Cleanup
We fill the basin, run the disposal, and watch every joint for drips. The counter gets wiped down, tools are packed, and we walk you through the work before we leave.
How it works
Our Kitchen Sink Replacement Process
01
Phone Assessment
Call 708-726-5955 and describe the sink, the cabinet, and what is going wrong. We ask about the disposal, the shutoff valves, and whether the counter is granite, quartz, or laminate. That five-minute conversation lets us bring the right sink sizes and parts on the first trip.
02
On-Site Measure
We measure the existing cutout, check the depth of the cabinet, and inspect the p-trap, drain pipe, and shutoff valves. If the old valves are seized, we plan to replace them. You get a firm price for the whole job before we touch a tool.
03
Removal and Prep
We shut off the water, disconnect the supply lines, and pull the old sink, faucet, and disposal. The cabinet gets cleaned and dried. Any corroded pipe or failed sealant is cut out and replaced so the new sink sits on sound plumbing, not on top of a future leak.
04
Install and Seal
The new basin drops in with fresh plumber's tape on the threads and pipe sealant at every joint. We reconnect the p-trap, drain pipe, and disposal unit, then set the faucet and test hot and cold supply. Mounting clips are tightened evenly so the sink does not rock.
05
Test and Cleanup
We fill the basin, pull the stopper, and watch every joint for drips. The disposal gets a run test. We wipe down the counter, haul away the old sink, and walk you through what we did. Most jobs wrap in two to four hours.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
RIDGID Pipe Wrench
Used to break loose old supply lines and trap nuts without crushing the pipe. Essential on corroded fittings that have not moved in decades.
Milwaukee Cordless Tools
For cutting countertop openings, tightening mounting clips, and driving screws in tight cabinet spaces. Cordless keeps the job clean with no extension cords.
Drain Snake and Auger
Clears blockages in the p-trap and branch line before we install the new sink. We confirm the drain pipe is clear so the new basin drains properly.
Drain Camera
A DrainX or General Pipe Cleaners camera lets us see inside the line. We use it when a sink backs up repeatedly, so you know whether to replace the sink or repair the pipe.
Hydro Jetting Machine
For grease-heavy lines in restaurant and commercial kitchens. It scours the pipe walls clean, which a snake cannot do.
Plumber's Tape and Pipe Sealant
Applied to every threaded joint on the supply lines and trap. This is what keeps the connection dry for years, not months.
Real results
Before and after.
Cracked Basin to Clean Install
Before
A homeowner near 9th Avenue had a cracked cast-iron sink that leaked into the cabinet every time it was used. The p-trap was rusted and the shutoff valves were seized. Caulk had been applied three times with no lasting fix.
After
We removed the old sink, replaced the p-trap and both shutoff valves, and installed a new drop-in basin with fresh pipe sealant. The cabinet is dry, the drain flows fast, and the job took three hours.
Restaurant Prep Sink Rescue
Before
A restaurant in Melrose Park Industrial Park had a prep sink that backed up every Friday. The drain was slow all week and the disposal jammed during dinner service. Grease had built up in the branch line over months.
After
We ran a drain camera, hydro jetted the branch line, and installed a new commercial basin with a correctly sized p-trap. The sink has not backed up since, and the kitchen passed its health inspection.
Farmhouse Upgrade on 25th Avenue
Before
A homeowner wanted a farmhouse sink but the existing cutout was too small and the disposal would not fit the new basin. The old sink was shallow and constantly overflowed during dishwashing.
After
We enlarged the countertop opening, installed the farmhouse sink, added a new garbage disposal unit, and reconnected the drain with fresh plumber's tape and sealant. The sink sits flush and the disposal runs without jamming.
Problems we solve
Kitchen Sink Problems We Solve in Melrose Park
Most sink replacements start with one of these problems. If any of them sound familiar, a new sink and a clean drain setup will fix it for good.
Ask a pro →↗
Water pooling under the cabinet
We trace the leak, replace the failed trap or basin, and reseal every joint. The cabinet dries out and you get a dry, code-correct setup.
Disposal will not fit the old sink
We match the new sink to your disposal, or install a new unit with the correct flange and gasket. Everything lines up and the disposal runs without jamming.
Cracked or rusted basin
We remove the damaged basin and install a new one sized to your counter. Fresh sealant, new clips, and a full leak test mean the problem does not come back.
Most residential jobs run $250 to $900 in 2026, depending on the sink, whether we replace the disposal, and whether the shutoff valves or p-trap need work. A basic drop-in swap with existing fixtures sits at the low end. A farmhouse sink with new valves, disposal, and faucet lands higher. We quote the full job before we start.
A standard replacement takes two to four hours from arrival to cleanup. If we are cutting a larger countertop opening, replacing corroded drain pipe, or installing a new garbage disposal unit at the same time, plan on four to six hours. We tell you the expected window when we book the job.
Replace it if the basin is cracked, rusted through, or has been re-caulked more than twice. Replace it if you have paid for three or more clogs in a year, or if the sink is shallow and constantly backs up. A new sink with a clean p-trap and drain pipe solves all three problems at once.
We do. Call 708-726-5955 and we will schedule a same-day or next-day visit across Melrose Park, Franklin Park, and the surrounding suburbs. We handle residential kitchen sink replacement and commercial kitchen sink replacement, including restaurant and industrial kitchen work. You get a licensed plumber, a firm price, and a warranty on the install.
