Kitchen Sink Repair in Gatineau: Fix Leaks, Clogs, and Drainage Problems
Your kitchen sink handles more than just dishes—it's where you wash produce, fill pots, dispose of food waste, and clean up after every meal. This heavy use makes it susceptible to various problems: leaks under the sink, slow drainage, clogged disposals, and worn-out components. When your kitchen sink isn't working properly, it disrupts the entire household. Plombier Gatineau provides prompt, professional kitchen sink repair throughout Gatineau, getting your kitchen back to normal quickly.
Common Kitchen Sink Problems
Leaking Under the Sink
Water under your kitchen sink can come from multiple sources: supply line connections that have loosened or corroded, drain connections at the basket strainer or P-trap, garbage disposal connections or the disposal itself, faucet base where it meets the sink, and dishwasher drain hose connections. We diagnose the exact leak source and make proper repairs to prevent water damage to cabinets and flooring.
Slow Drainage
When the kitchen sink drains slowly, the culprit is usually grease and food debris accumulation in the drain, clogs in the P-trap, blockages further down the drain line, or problems with the vent allowing proper drainage. Professional drain cleaning clears the blockage and restores proper flow.
Complete Clogs
A sink that won't drain at all has a complete blockage. If both sides of a double sink won't drain, the clog is past where the drains join. We locate and clear clogs using appropriate methods for the blockage type and location.
Garbage Disposal Issues
The garbage disposal can jam, leak, make unusual noises, or stop working entirely. We repair or replace disposals as needed to restore function.
Faucet Problems
Dripping faucets, sprayers that don't work, handles that are hard to operate—these problems waste water and make kitchen tasks frustrating. We repair or replace faucets based on the issue and faucet condition.
Low Water Pressure
If only the kitchen faucet has low pressure, a clogged aerator or failed cartridge is likely the cause. If pressure problems affect multiple fixtures, the issue is elsewhere in your plumbing system.
Sprayer Problems
Kitchen sprayer issues include weak spray, failure to switch between stream and spray, leaking hoses, and retraction problems. We diagnose the specific issue and repair or replace components as needed.
Signs You Need Kitchen Sink Repair
Don't ignore these warning signs: water or moisture in the cabinet below the sink, puddles on the floor near the sink, musty or sewage odors from the drain, gurgling sounds when water drains, slow drainage that worsens over time, visible corrosion on drain components, and dripping even when tightly closed.
Our Repair Process
Diagnosis
We identify exactly what's causing the problem—not just the symptom but the underlying issue. This ensures repairs address the actual cause.
Options and Pricing
We explain what's needed and provide pricing before beginning work. For older fixtures that might need replacement soon anyway, we discuss whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Repair
We complete repairs using quality parts and proper techniques. Our work is designed to last.
Testing
We test thoroughly before leaving—running water, checking all connections, verifying drainage, and confirming proper operation.
Preventing Kitchen Sink Problems
Simple practices extend the time between repairs: don't pour grease down the drain (it solidifies and causes clogs), use the disposal properly (no fibrous foods, bones, or non-food items), run hot water after using the sink to flush away residue, address slow drains promptly before they become complete clogs, and periodically check under the sink for any signs of moisture.
