Sink Repairs and Installation for Your Home
Professional sink plumbing services for kitchens and bathrooms in Lubbock
A slow-draining sink, a faucet that drips incessantly, or a basin that refuses to hold water due to a broken stopper mechanism are all clear signs of plumbing issues that can significantly disrupt daily routines and lead to frustration. In Lubbock, the presence of hard water exacerbates these problems by leaving stubborn mineral deposits inside aerators and around drain assemblies. Additionally, older P-traps are especially susceptible to developing leaks at the slip joints when the washers dry out over time, compounding the inconvenience.

How Our Process Works
When you schedule sink plumbing services in Lubbock, the plumber inspects the drain, supply lines, and fixtures to identify the source of the problem. That might mean removing the P-trap to clear a clog, tightening or replacing compression fittings on the supply lines, or disassembling the drain assembly to fix a stopper that won't open or close. The plumber brings pipe wrenches, basin wrenches, augers, and replacement washers and gaskets to handle most repairs on the spot.
Once the repair or installation is finished, you'll notice that the sink drains quickly without backing up, the faucet doesn't drip when turned off, and there's no water pooling inside the cabinet or around the base of the faucet. mr.wilsons plumbing and drain solutions tests all connections before leaving to make sure there are no leaks and that water flows and drains as it should. A properly installed sink sits level in the countertop, with a sealed edge that keeps water from seeping underneath.
Some repairs require replacing corroded drain pipes or outdated shut-off valves, especially in older homes where galvanized plumbing is still in place. If the sink cabinet shows signs of water damage or mold, that indicates a leak that's been going on for a while, and the plumber will identify where the water is coming from and fix it. Sink plumbing services do not include countertop or cabinet repairs, but they do ensure that all plumbing connections are secure and leak-free.
What's Included in This Service
Homeowners in Lubbock often have questions about what's causing their sink problems and what to expect during a service call, so here are answers to the most common concerns.
What causes a kitchen sink to drain slowly?
Grease, food particles, and soap residue build up inside the drain pipe and P-trap, restricting water flow. Clearing the clog with an auger or removing and cleaning the P-trap restores proper drainage.
How do you fix a bathroom sink stopper that won't stay closed?
The pop-up assembly under the sink may be corroded, disconnected, or improperly adjusted. Replacing or adjusting the linkage and pivot rod lets the stopper seal tightly again.
Why is water pooling under my sink?
Leaks usually occur at the P-trap slip joints, the supply line connections, or around the drain flange where the sink meets the drain pipe. Tightening or replacing the connections and washers stops the leak.
How long does it take to install a new sink?
Most sink installations take two to three hours, depending on whether new plumbing connections are needed and how the sink mounts to the countertop. The plumber connects the drain, supply lines, and faucet, then tests for leaks.
A sink that drains slowly or leaks under the cabinet only gets worse over time, and waiting to fix it can lead to water damage that costs more to repair than the original plumbing issue. If your sink isn't working the way it should, reach out to schedule service in Lubbock.
