Common Kitchen Problems
You will find that most kitchen plumbing problems are minor to begin with.
- A drip from the faucet is usually a matter of a washer or cartridge wearing out.
- If the sink is slow to drain, there is likely a buildup of food and grease in the P-trap.
- And if you spot water under the cabinet, it could be a loose supply line, a trap that has given way, a leaking garbage disposal, or a shutoff valve that has failed.
- Then there is the issue of weak pressure at the tap.
- Sometimes a clogged aerator is to blame, other times it is something more in the supply lines.
- We make a quick assessment to determine if a repair or a replacement is warranted and lay out your options before we get to work.
Planning a Kitchen Remodel
For those looking to update their kitchen, we advise getting the plumbing sorted early on. Relocating a sink or installing a pot filler alters the layout of the drains and supplies, and the venting has to be up to code. We work with homeowners, designers and builders to make sure fixtures are placed where they are both functional and appealing, and we coordinate with the countertop and cabinet crews on timing. Do the rough-in properly and you will not have any headaches when it comes time to set the counters.
Water Quality, Codes, and Local Practices
Quality is important since this is the water used for cooking and drinking. While Spartanburg Water treats its supply from Lake Bowen and nearby reservoirs to state standards with chlorine and fluoride, many in our area prefer the taste of a reverse osmosis tap or a filter. Those with wells may want to have them tested. South Carolina requires backflow protection for public systems, so filtration and dishwasher connections need to be done right. And for septic homes, we would caution against overuse of the disposal and grease. The local sewer utility would have you keep fats and oils out of the drain to stave off an overflow.
Preventing Kitchen Plumbing Trouble
There is no harm in some simple habits. Run cold water with the disposal, but do not put in coffee grounds or stringy vegetables. Put a strainer in the sink and scrape the plates into the trash. Every few months have a look under the sink for any dampness, and make sure you know where the shutoffs are. Fixtures past their fifteenth year might be worth upgrading before they break down and leave you with no choice.
