What to know about Sink installation

A new sink looks like a simple swap, but it sits where several trades meet. The countertop has to be cut and supported for it, the faucet has to fit its holes or deck, the drain has to reach a properly vented trap, and the supply lines, shut-off valves, dishwasher and garbage disposal all connect in the cabinet underneath. Sink installation covers kitchen sinks, bathroom basins and vanities, and the deep utility sinks found in laundry rooms and basements.

How to choose plumbers in St. John's

  • Hire a plumber who is licensed for this work in your province, especially for gas water heaters, sewer lines and new plumbing.
  • Ask whether they charge a flat rate or by the hour, and what the call-out fee covers.
  • For leaks and drain problems, choose someone who explains the cause and doesn't only clear the symptom.
  • Get the scope in writing for larger jobs such as a water heater, sewer repair or re-piping.
  • If it's urgent, ask how soon they can arrive and whether after-hours rates apply.

Questions to ask plumbers before you hire

  • Are you licensed for plumbing work in my province?
  • Do you charge a flat rate or by the hour, and is there a call-out fee?
  • What do you think is causing the problem?
  • Will this work need a permit or an inspection, and who will arrange it?
  • Will you need to open walls, floors or the yard to reach the problem?
  • What warranty do you offer on parts and labour?

Common sink installation questions

Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.

How many pros will contact me?

We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
