KITCHENS
Looking to give your kitchen a refresh? We can do that! Installing kitchen fixtures involves setting up sinks, faucets, dishwasher lines, refrigerator lines, gas lines, pot fillers, and other accessories are essential components that facilitate water usage and drainage in the kitchen. Here are descriptions of common kitchen plumbing fixtures we repair and replace:
Kitchen Sink: The kitchen sink is a primary fixture where dishes are washed, food is prepared, and water is drained. It typically consists of a basin, faucet, and drain. Sinks come in various materials, sizes, and configurations to fit different kitchen layouts.
Faucet:
The kitchen faucet controls the flow of water into the sink. There are various types of kitchen faucets, including single-handle, double-handle, pull-out, pull-down, and touchless models. Faucets can have different spray options, temperature controls, and finishes.
Garbage Disposal:
A garbage disposal unit is installed under the sink and helps break down food waste into smaller particles that can be flushed through the plumbing system. It connects to the sink drain and requires electrical power to operate.
Dishwasher: The dishwasher is a water-based appliance that cleans and sanitizes dishes, utensils, and cookware. It is connected to the kitchen's plumbing system for water supply and drainage. Dishwashers use hot water and detergent to clean dishes efficiently.
Water Supply Lines and Shut-Off Valves: Water supply lines provide water to the sink faucet, dishwasher, and other fixtures. Shut-off valves control the flow of water to individual fixtures, allowing for maintenance or repairs without shutting off the entire water supply.
Drainage System: The drainage system includes the sink drain, garbage disposal, and dishwasher drain lines. These fixtures are connected to the main plumbing drainage system, which directs wastewater away from the kitchen to the sewer or septic system.
Trap and Trap Arm: The sink trap, usually located below the sink, is a curved section of pipe that prevents sewer gases from entering the kitchen. The trap arm connects the trap to the main drainage system.
Water Filtration System: Some kitchens may have water filtration systems installed under the sink to purify drinking water. These systems remove impurities and improve water quality for drinking and cooking purposes.
These plumbing fixtures work together to provide water supply, drainage, and waste disposal functionalities in the kitchen. Proper installation, maintenance, and use of these fixtures are essential for efficient kitchen operations and to ensure a functional and hygienic kitchen space.
