Common Kitchen Plumbing Problems
Problem: Your kitchen sink is clogged.
Cause: Clogged sinks are often caused by a buildup in your pipes. Grease, soap scum, food scraps, and even hair can wash into the pipes below your kitchen sink and get stuck.
Solution: Most clogged sinks can be fixed by snaking the drain. If snaking the pipes immediately under the kitchen sink don’t work, the clog is probably further down. Call Mullin Services, LLC for help with your clogged kitchen sink.
Problem: Your garbage disposal is jammed.
Cause: Just like your sink, your garbage disposal can become jammed when there’s a buildup. There may also be an obstruction jamming the blades.
Solution: Call Mullin Services, LLC for help with a jammed garbage disposal. We’ll remove any obstructions or clogs, check the motor, and get your garbage disposal back up and running.
Problem: Your kitchen sink is leaking.
Cause: Leaky faucets are often caused by loose handles, worn washers, or corroded valve seats. A worn O-ring seal or water supply issues may also cause a leak in your kitchen sink.
Solution: Ways to fix the leak include tightening the sink handle, replacing the washer in the valve seat, or replacing the valve seat itself. You may also need a new O-ring seal or water supply line maintenance. Call Mullin Services, LLC for help with your leaky kitchen sink.
Problem: The pipes under your kitchen sink are leaking.
Cause: Leaks under your sink can be caused by a number of things including loose connections, material buildup, and even corrosion. Most leaks happen around pipe joints.
Solution: Try to locate the source of the leak. Tightening connections or snaking the drain may help to reduce under-sink leaks. You may also need to replace the pipes or fittings to prevent further leaking. Call a professional, like Mullin Services, LLC, to have your pipes examined. Leaks can lead to pipes bursting, so it’s important to address them quickly.
Problem: You have low water pressure in your kitchen sink.
Cause: There are a few causes for low water pressure in kitchens. The first is a clogged faucet head. Other causes include issues with your water supply line and faulty valve cartridges.
Solution: If your faucet has an aerator, you may be able to remove it and clean it yourself. If that doesn’t help with water pressure, call Mullin Services, LLC. We can check your valve cartridges and water supply line to diagnose the issue and fix it.
Problem: Your dishwasher is leaking.
Cause: Leaks around your dishwasher can be caused by a variety of things. There may be a faulty spray arm, a broken float switch, a loose hose connection, or a broken gasket.
Solution: Depending on the problem, parts of your dishwasher may need to be repaired or replaced, and hoses may need to be tightened. If the issue is more involved, Mullin Services, LLC can remove your dishwasher and inspect it to diagnoses the problem.
Problem: Your refrigerator is leaking.
Cause: Refrigerator leaks may not necessarily mean there’s a plumbing problem. Some refrigerators leak when they aren’t level, and others leak due to a buildup of condensation. There may also be a problem with your condenser coil, defrost drain, or water supply line.
Solution: If leveling the fridge does not get rid of the leak, check your defrost drain for clogs. If the leak is from the water supply line, Mullin Services, LLC can help.
