Kitchen Plumbing in University Place: what is different here

University Place kitchens from the 1960s to 1980s, around Grandview and the Cirque Drive area, often have shutoff valves that have not been turned in decades. Before we swap a faucet or disposal, we check that the valves still close. We are about 25 minutes from our base via SR 16 or I-5 to Bridgeport Way.

How the job runs

  1. Check the whole sink

    We look at the faucet, disposal, drain, supply lines and dishwasher hookup, since one problem often causes another.
  2. Flat price first

    You get a flat price with parts and labor included and decide before any work begins.
  3. Fix or install

    We repair or replace the part, with new supply lines and seals where the old ones are worn.
  4. Run a full test

    We run the faucet, disposal and dishwasher drain together, check for leaks, then clean up.

Kitchen Plumbing questions in University Place

We replace the stuck valve before doing the rest of the job. Valves in older University Place kitchens can seize after years without use, and forcing them can cause a leak. We shut off the main, fit a new quarter-turn valve, and include that in your flat-rate price before work begins.

Here is what is typical once we are on site. Faucet replacement: 1 to 2 hours. Garbage disposal install: 1 to 2 hours. University Place is about 25 minutes from our base via SR 16 or I-5 to Bridgeport Way. We confirm timing with you when you book.

Repair it if it is jammed or has a loose joint. Replace it if the motor is dead, the body leaks or it is worn out. A like-for-like swap is usually simple. We test the old unit and price both choices before any work begins.
