Sink Installation and Maintenance in Toronto & GTA
Where do you go to wash virtually everything, from your hands to dishes, raw food, and other lifestyle essentials? When we think of plumbing, we often think about pipes and drains, but it’s fixtures like the faucet and sink that dictate how we access and use the water supply. Plus, with new designs geared towards ergonomic function and minimal backsplash, the sink plays a vital role in how water is used.
How is a sink installed for precise function? It takes more than inserting it in the kitchen counter or bolting it to the bathroom floor. For reliable water pressure and no leakage, you’ll need a sink that’s carefully integrated with fixtures like faucets and pipes through which water flows. Aside from providing space for washing and cleaning, sinks also store various waste deposits that need to be disposed of to avoid clogging the drain. All in all, it pays to have a clean and functional sink.
Get a Professional To Install Your Sink
With the right tools, anyone can buy a sink and insert it in the kitchen counter, or even bolt it to the bathroom wall or floor. Consider the hassle of washing the dishes or even your hands without a receptacle that catches scraps, residue and flushes these down the drain for disposal. Do you want to leave this central plumbing and water supply feature to DIY solutions?

Sink Maintenance
Since the sink is prone to waste deposits and works like a basin or a vehicle for flushing liquids and waste items down the drain, how it’s used contributes to the most common plumbing emergencies. Whether it’s a clogged drain, broken pipes, or leaks, your sink requires regular plumbing maintenance to prevent further, expensive damage.
Repair or replace broken pipes: burst pipes and leaks can also affect the sink, at worse, resulting in broken or damaged fixtures that may be disconnected from the rest of the plumbing system. A complete plumbing repair or replacement includes sink installation and maintenance to restore its function.
Unclog drains: clogged drains result from the buildup of waste items and hazardous chemicals, which can then cause sewage backup and flooding. But with a complete sink maintenance service, your sink can be restored to ensure a smooth flow of water and proper drainage, eliminating waste and mineral deposits that also contribute to clogging.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my sink?
Sink replacement frequency depends on factors like material, use, and maintenance. Generally, a well-maintained sink can last 15-20 years or more. Consider replacement when it’s damaged beyond repair or if you want to update your kitchen or bathroom aesthetics.
Can I install a sink myself, or should I hire a professional?
While some people with plumbing experience can install sinks, hiring a professional is advisable. Professional installers ensure proper connections, prevent leaks, and guarantee compliance with local building codes. DIY installations can lead to costly mistakes if not done correctly.
How can I prevent my sink from clogging?
To prevent clogs, avoid disposing of grease, coffee grounds, and large food particles down the drain. Use a drain strainer to catch debris, and periodically clean your sink’s drain with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water.
What's the best way to clean and maintain a sink?
Regularly clean your sink with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive cleaners that can scratch surfaces. For stainless steel sinks, consider using stainless steel cleaner for added shine. Dry the sink after use to prevent water spots and mineral deposits.
Can I upgrade my sink without replacing the countertop?
Yes, it’s possible to upgrade your sink without replacing the countertop. Ensure the new sink’s dimensions match the existing cutout in your countertop, or consult a professional installer for a seamless fit.
What are the sink installation standards?
Sink installation standards typically include ensuring proper alignment, secure mounting, leak-free connections, and compliance with local plumbing codes for safety, functionality, and longevity of the installation.
What parts do I need to install a new sink?
To install a new sink, you’ll need a sink basin, faucet, drain assembly, supply lines, P-trap, wrenches, plumber’s tape, silicone caulk, and mounting hardware, depending on the sink type and design.

The plumber arrived quickly and was great. He fixed the problem and was willing to answer my many questions. I did find the company to be priced much higher than I’ve paid with others, but I was glad to have my kitchen sinks working again.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆MUST READ. Google says my review was viewed by 5000 people. Thanks everyone. ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆Once this company gets your money, they are gone.◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
You are looking at this review because they have a lot of reviews online (Genuine or NOT!!). The records reveal that this company, despite being just 5 years old, has accumulated over a thousand reviews solely on Google. You are smart if you see the funny patterns on the reviews. They have a disproportionately high number of reviews on Google compared to other sites and claim to have received awards from their second year. This isn't the hottest restaurant in town with tons of exposure among the younger generation. Their customers are home owners. I can't even imagine how much cash this company is burning each month.
Here is my first hand experience with this circus company. I set up an appointment because they said the estimate was free. When the plumber arrived, they changed their words and told me I have to pay him $310 for an "investigation", which doesn't include the actual work.
He showed me the terms and conditions that I needed to sign, and one of them required that I express satisfaction with the work they would do, even before they commenced their tasks. I questioned the plumber multiple times about the issue but he said it's the company policy. I later spoke with the manager and he wasn't surprised at all. Do you see the company not saying anything about this in their reply? It says it all. This is how they do their business.
I should have stopped there.
The plumber failed to find the source of the leak and made a misdiagnosis. The plumber was way off and I'm not even sure if he was a fully licensed plumber or just a junior plumber with no experience.
I hired their competitor and they found the leak within 10 minutes. They were surprised why Drain King couldn't find such a simple leak. Drain King, full of clowns, doesn't know what they are doing and will waste your time and money.
It was something so simple and so basic yet these guys failed miserably.
The new company found the problem so quickly I spent a fraction of what I paid these guys.
I even invited Drain King back to my house to give them a chance to see their failure, but they refused to do it. They are too embarrassed to come and see their failure.
Once they get your money, they are gone, and you won't see them again. When you report a problem, they are going to put you on their do not service list.
(like I'm gonna pay them again for their failure)
This company is a joke.
I now know why they wanted me to sign those documents even before they start the work.
It's because a lot of their customers are not happy with their incompetency and inability to diagnose the simplest problem. You can obtain your refund by processing a chargeback.
Contact consumer protection Ontario.
There will be more to come.

Drain king was a great company to work with, I got three different verbal quotes from different companies and their asscoiate, Jonathan, was the only one to provide a detailed breakdown of the quote. They fixed my outdoor drain pipe (spot repair). Furthermore, for my satisfaction they did the camera is inspection on a separate day as I was not an available the day of the repair thanks assistance from Kathleen and Jason (the manager). Overall, I definitely recommend the company.

We have used Drain King several times over the last 5 years for drain issues. The admin team (Kathleen) is always super friendly and detail oriented which helps in sending an appropriate plumber who is prepared to do the job! The plumber has been the same guy for 5 years (Jonathon H) and very polite and knowledgeable. He is able to understand the issues, provide feedback on prevention, and mitigation and then quickly and thoroughly fix the issues. The workmanship is a high quality which lasts! Their quotes and billing system is reasonable and work is guaranteed. We had the same issues happen, a mystery leak in our basement that kept changing locations :( and in that month they came back several times and only charged us for the one visit until the problem was fixed! I would highly recommend Drain Kings for all your plumbing needs!!
