Kitchen Sink and Faucet Install with Backflow Protection

Here's what a full kitchen sink setup looks like when it's done correctly from start to finish. New sink, new faucet, proper drain connection - and one extra step that a lot of plumbers skip: a check valve to prevent backflow from upstairs fixtures.

That check valve matters more than most people realize. Without it, water from drains above can push back down into your kitchen line and cause some genuinely gross problems. It's a simple addition during install, but it saves you a major headache down the road. We never skip it.

The drain connection work underneath the cabinet is where the job really lives. You can't see it once the cabinet door is closed, but it has to be done right - tight fittings, proper slope, no shortcuts. Sloppy under-sink work is one of the most common causes of slow drains and mystery leaks that homeowners discover months later. Our drain cleaning calls are often traced back to poorly set up connections just like this.

The faucet itself - a brushed gold bridge-style unit - needed to be set and sealed properly against that marble countertop before anything below was connected. Sequence matters in this kind of install. Rushing the order of operations is how you end up pulling everything apart twice.

Getting kitchen plumbing right the first time saves time, money, and the kind of stress that comes with water where it shouldn't be. Whether it's a fresh install, a drain that's giving you trouble, or a leak you can't quite track down, we handle it all - and we do it clean.
