SINKS, DRAINS, LINES
Fixes, New Fixtures and Remodel Piping
Few rooms get more daily use than the kitchen, and its plumbing takes a beating: a faucet that drips, a drain that slows, a new sink, a dishwasher hookup. Census figures show about three in four Newington homes were built in 1979 or earlier, so the pipes under many sinks have decades behind them.
Newington Plumber takes on kitchen plumbing throughout Newington, from remodel rough-ins and appliance connections to the leak that turns up on a busy weeknight, with the aim of neat, careful work from first visit to last.

Kitchen Plumbing Jobs Covered
Faucet Repair and Replacement
A faucet that drips, whistles or has plainly given out is a nuisance. Most can be repaired, or replaced with a solid new one.
Setting a New Sink
Moving to a composite basin, a deeper bowl or a heavy stainless model means the sink has to be anchored firmly, sealed well and drained at the right slope.
Hidden Leaks
A slow drip under the sink, at a joint or behind the cabinets can rot wood out of sight. Finding the source is the first job.
Clogged Sink Drains
Grease is the usual culprit. The Metropolitan District warns that fat poured down a sink clings to pipes and can block them completely.
Hooking Up Dishwashers and Washers
Rerouting Lines for a Remodel
Useful when a remodel changes the layout and the sink, range or dishwasher moves to a new spot.

Questions About Kitchens
Kitchen Plumbing Questions
What goes into the cost of kitchen plumbing?
What piping does a kitchen need?
A working kitchen usually has:
- Separate hot and cold supply lines
- Drain and waste piping
- Shutoff valves at each fixture
- Connections for a dishwasher or ice maker
- Vents and traps that keep sewer gas out
Can a plumber do my kitchen?
The water and drain side, yes: faucets, sinks, drains, appliance lines and piping. Cabinets and counters go to a remodeler. Check the plumber’s license with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.
Should a pro install my sink?
It is the safer route. Good sealing, tight joints and a correctly connected trap and tailpiece prevent the slow, hidden leaks that home installs so often leave behind under the cabinet.

How is kitchen plumbing work priced?
Which lines does a kitchen sink need?
Most kitchens are plumbed with:
- A hot line and a cold line
- Drain piping sloped to the stack
- A shutoff under each fixture
- A feed for the dishwasher or the fridge
- A trap and vent to block sewer gas
Do plumbers work on kitchens?
For everything that carries water, yes, from faucets and drains to dishwasher lines and new piping. A remodeler or cabinet installer handles boxes and countertops, with the plumber connecting things afterward.
Is installing a sink a DIY job?
It can be, but a pro is less likely to leave a weeping slip joint or a badly sealed rim. Small leaks under a sink often go unnoticed until the cabinet floor is ruined.
