Kitchen Sink and Faucet Plumbing in Ajax

Tracking Down Leaks Under an Ajax Kitchen Sink

Water in the sink cabinet can come from several places, and the puddle is not always under the source. We check the trap and its slip nuts, the drain tailpiece, the supply lines and shut-off valves, the faucet's own connections and the dishwasher and disposer fittings, then fix the part that is actually leaking.

Slow drainage is a separate problem with a separate cause, and grease is a frequent one in kitchen lines. The Region of Durham warns that grease poured down a sink can harden once it reaches cold sewer pipes, and that hot water and detergent do not prevent it. If your sink is draining slowly, our drain cleaning service clears the line.

Faucets and Sinks for Ajax Kitchens

We supply kitchen faucets from Moen, Kohler, American Standard and Riobel and install them with new supply lines. When a faucet only needs a repair, the parts involved are usually the cartridge, the O-rings or the aerator.

Most kitchen sinks are one of three styles: drop-in models with a rim on top of the counter, undermount bowls fastened beneath stone, quartz or solid-surface tops, and farmhouse sinks with an exposed apron that need the cabinet and counter cut to suit. We help you match the sink to the counter and the faucet to the sink.

Permits and Electrical Notifications for Ajax Renovations

The Town of Ajax lists plumbing among the minor construction projects that need a permit, and it takes plumbing permit applications through its online application portal or by email to its building permits office. The page does not say which plumbing jobs need a permit, so if your renovation adds or moves drain or water lines, check with the Town's building permits staff before work starts.

The Town also points out that a building permit is not the same as an electrical notification filed with the Electrical Safety Authority, and that a project may need both. Kitchen renovations often do, because new dishwasher, disposer and lighting circuits are electrical work for a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
