4 Signs You May Need to Install a New Sink

The sink in your kitchen is a pretty hardy piece of equipment. If taken care of properly, you may never need to replace it. But in some cases, replacing your kitchen sink becomes unavoidable.

When the kitchen sink is inoperable, it can cause any number of inconveniences. Just imagine doing the dishes in your bathroom sink! Having a faulty sink can cause major problems and while most kitchen sink problems are easily fixable with just a plumbing job, in some rare cases, you may need to change the sink altogether.

What are these signs you need to look for to determine if your kitchen is in need of a new sink? Let’s find out!

Frequent Blockages

A clogged drain once in a while is not a cause of worry; just pour a little baking soda and vinegar down the drain for a quick solution. It is a concern when the clogs start becoming more and more frequent that you may want to start considering changing your sink.

If your sink is slow to drain or won’t drain at all, and no amount of unclogging will work to make it drain faster, leaving you with a sink full of dirty water on a regular basis, this is a surefire clue that your sink has some serious problems and needs fixing.

You may want to try calling in a plumber first, but if even that doesn’t solve your problem, it’s best to just replace the sink altogether.

Ancient Sinks

Sometimes, older sinks start showing signs of age through their faucets. If your kitchen sink is not giving you an adequate amount of water, the fixtures have gotten rusty or have become hard to use, making dish washing a chore, it might be time to get the sink changed. This is especially true in cases where the water pressure for every other water outlet in the house is working perfectly except for the kitchen sink.

A Broken Sink

Did you drop that dish hard enough into the sink while washing it to break both the dish and crack your sink? A cracked sink can start leaking water into your cupboards which can damage the wood through water damage. A cracked sink is also the best place for mold and mildew to build up in the cracks as these thrive in moist places.

Old-Fashioned Sink

Lastly, you may want to consider getting a new sink if you’re thinking of remodeling your kitchen. While you could just install your old sink into your new kitchen, if your sink is of an older design and your kitchen modern, it could ruin the entire look of your kitchen. An old sink in a new kitchen may also look out of place and could easily destroy all your effort in designing your shiny new kitchen.
