FAQs
What types of kitchen sink materials can you install or replace in Soddy-Daisy homes?
We service and install all common sink materials—including stainless steel, cast iron with enamel coating, fire-clay farmhouse sinks, composite granite, solid-surface, and copper. Because each material has its own weight, mounting method, and sealing requirements, we’ll evaluate your existing cabinetry and countertop before recommending the best option. We also install matching faucets, drains, garbage disposals, and supply lines that are compatible with your chosen sink material.
How can I tell whether my kitchen sink needs a full replacement instead of a simple repair?
Several signs point to replacement: (1) persistent leaks around the bowl or drain flange that recur even after re-sealing, (2) visible cracks, rust, or pitting on enamel, steel, or composite surfaces, (3) chronic clogging caused by warped or corroded drain assemblies, (4) outdated configurations that don’t meet current Hamilton County plumbing codes (e.g., lack of proper air gap or trap primer), and (5) the desire to upgrade to a deeper or wider sink that better fits modern faucets or accessories. During our inspection we’ll test water pressure, look for hidden cabinet damage, and give you an honest recommendation.
Do I need a permit to replace my kitchen sink, faucet, or disposal in Soddy-Daisy?
For a like-for-like fixture swap that doesn’t alter drain size or relocate water lines, the City of Soddy-Daisy typically does not require a building permit. However, if the replacement involves moving the sink, adding a new electrical circuit for a disposal, or modifying venting or drain diameters, a plumbing permit through Hamilton County Building Inspection & Codes Enforcement is required. We handle all permit applications and schedule any necessary inspections, so you stay fully compliant.
How long will my kitchen sink replacement take, and will I be without water the whole time?
Most straightforward replacements (same size cut-out, no countertop modification) are completed in three to five hours. More complex projects—such as enlarging a sink opening, rerouting drains, or installing additional accessories—may take a full workday. We only shut off the kitchen water supply during the plumbing tie-ins, which usually lasts 60–90 minutes. You’ll have normal water service in the rest of the house throughout the project.
Do you remove and dispose of my old sink and plumbing fixtures?
Yes. Our service includes careful removal of the existing sink, faucet, disposal, and associated hardware, followed by eco-friendly disposal or recycling. Stainless steel and copper components are taken to local metal recyclers in Hamilton County, while porcelain or composite materials are disposed of according to municipal guidelines. We leave your countertop and cabinet area clean and ready for use.
What maintenance steps should I follow to keep my new sink and fixtures in top shape?
1. Wipe the sink dry after each use to prevent mineral deposits—especially important with Soddy-Daisy’s moderately hard water. 2. Use non-abrasive cleaners; avoid scouring pads on enamel or composite surfaces. 3. Run cold water for 15–20 seconds after using the garbage disposal to flush debris. 4. Inspect supply lines and P-traps every six months for signs of seepage. 5. Clean faucet aerators annually to maintain flow and reduce sediment buildup. 6. If you notice slow drainage, avoid harsh chemical cleaners; call us for a professional auger or hydro-jet service. Following these tips can extend the life of your new fixtures well beyond their standard manufacturer warranty.
