Sink Installation in Dallas–Fort Worth

Sink installation is plumbing plus fit. The basin has to match the cabinet and countertop, and the drain has to land where the existing rough-in is — or the rough-in has to move.

Switching from a double bowl to a single, or from a drop-in to an undermount, is where those two requirements tend to collide.

Symptoms and problems

• • A cracked, chipped, or stained basin
• • A remodel or countertop replacement
• • Wanting a deeper or differently configured sink
• • Adding a utility or bar sink

Common causes

• • Existing sink at the end of its life
• • Cabinet or countertop changes
• • Drain rough-in height not matching the new basin

Typical solutions

• • Verifying cabinet size, cutout, and drain alignment
• • Setting and sealing the new basin
• • Reworking the drain assembly and supply connections
• • Reconnecting the disposal and dishwasher and testing for leaks

When to get professional help

Undermount sinks, stone countertops, and drain relocations are worth handing to someone who does them regularly.
