Common Kitchen Plumbing Repairs We Handle
From decades-old fixtures to newer systems stressed by constant use, our team knows how to spot and solve kitchen plumbing issues quickly. We keep disruption to a minimum while addressing the root cause, so you’re not calling us again next month.
Grease Buildup and Drain Blockages
One of the most common causes of kitchen sink backups is grease that’s cooled and hardened in the drain. We see this all the time in Knoxville homes, especially when cooking habits mix with older piping. Our team uses safe, effective tools to get things moving again.
Leaky or Dripping Faucets
If you’re tired of hearing a drip in the night or seeing it reflected on your water bill, we’ve got you covered. Faucet leaks are usually caused by a few key parts wearing down, and we carry replacements for most models to get it fixed on the first visit.
Garbage Disposal Jams and Motor Failures
A humming noise without blade movement usually means the disposal is stuck or the motor has failed. In newer Knoxville homes, budget models often break down early. We’ll troubleshoot and either repair the jam or install a better-quality unit built to last.
Clogged or Backed‑Up Dishwasher Lines
Dishwasher backups are often caused by clogged drain hoses or a blocked air gap. We see this often in Knoxville homes where daily cooking leads to more buildup. We’ll clear the lines, flush out debris, and check the disposal and air gap for related issues.
Under‑Sink Leaks and Water Damage
Soft or sagging cabinets, musty smells, or visible water pooling under the sink often point to a hidden leak. Whether it’s a loose P-trap, corroded shutoff valve, or cracked supply line, we’ll isolate the issue and repair it quickly to prevent structural damage.
Low Water Pressure at the Kitchen Sink
A drop in pressure at just the kitchen sink often points to a clogged aerator or minor valve issue. We’ll test your system and restore normal pressure without unnecessary replacements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing Repair
What should I avoid putting down my sink or disposal?
Avoid grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, fibrous vegetables like celery, and starchy items like rice or pasta. These items can cause buildup or damage your disposal’s motor over time.
How do seasonal temperature swings in Tennessee affect under-sink pipes?
Quick changes between warm and cool weather can shift pipes slightly inside cabinets. In older Knoxville homes, this often leads to slow-developing leaks around fittings and valves.
Why does water keep rising in my kitchen sink?
Persistent standing water usually means a clogged drainpipe or a vent issue preventing proper flow. We recommend having it looked at before it leads to a full backup.
What typically leads to slow kitchen drains?
Grease buildup, soap scum, food debris, or mineral deposits are all common causes. Knoxville’s high humidity can also accelerate pipe corrosion, narrowing the inner diameter and restricting flow.
What plumbing codes should I consider when replacing a kitchen sink in Knox County?
Local plumbing codes require that licensed pros handle any kitchen sink replacement tied to pipe alterations. We’re familiar with Knox County’s rules and can make sure everything’s done right.
