The kitchen is central to your home. People always tend to gather there; it’s where the socializing and cooking happens, and you need a kitchen with reliable plumbing so it can continue being the social heart of your home.

Signs Your Kitchen Needs a Plumber
How do you know if a kitchen plumber in Chesterfield is necessary? Not every sign seems like an emergency, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
- Drips or leaks: Is your faucet dripping and won’t stop? Are you seeing a puddle under the sink? That means that there are worn parts or a hidden leak. These are easy to fix when you catch them early.
- Slow or clogged kitchen drain: When water pools in the sink or drain sluggishly, that usually means that grease and food’s building up inside your line.
- A garbage disposal that hums, jams, or leaks: These are the clear signs your unit needs a repair/replacement before it fails completely.
- Low water pressure at the sink: Weak flow can point to sediment buildup, a clogged aerator (the tiny, screw-on metal/plastic cap at your sink faucet spout), or even a supply line problem.
- Water stains or warping under the cabinet: If you’re seeing discoloration or smelling musty odors, that usually means you’re dealing with a leak in the background.
When you catch these early enough, you’ll probably be able to avoid those expensive (and extensive) repairs down the line.
Kitchen Plumbing Maintenance Tips
How do you keep your kitchen plumbing in tip-top shape?
- Watch out for any leaks: Even small leaks (and drips) add up on your bill. Even if it seems minor, it’s wasting gallons upon gallons of water slowly but surely. When you catch one early on, give us a call.
- Keep drains clear: You might be able to clear those tiny clogs with a plunger or durian snake, but be sure to use them carefully so as to not damage your pipes.
- Skip chemical drain cleaners: Skip these entirely. They might be able to help in the short term, but create major problems down the line. The harsh chemicals can easily damage pipes (of any type) and even present health hazards.
- Mind your garbage disposal: Keep plastic, eggshells, coffee grounds, and other fibrous food (celery, corn husks, potato peels) away from the disposal. If you want, you could actually freshen it up using ice cubes paired with a splash of lemon juice. The ice will scrub away buildup inside the grind chamber, and the citrus nixes odors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shouldn’t go down my kitchen drain?
Grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, and any fibrous materials/starchy foods. When in doubt, throw it out instead. It might be less convenient, especially if you think your garage disposal can handle them all (it can’t; in fact, they can damage your disposal, too), but it’ll save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?
No. Don’t use chemical cleaners. At best, they just punch through a clog without removing the source. At worst, they can actually eat away at your pipes. For example, the harsh acids and caustic lye can actually warp and melt PVC; thin spots and corrosion in metal pipes are common with chemical cleaners. Not to mention the safety hazards they pose, like possible chemical burns, toxic fumes, and plunge hazards. Opt for drain cleaning in your kitchen with the pros at Chesterfield instead.
Can you install a new kitchen faucet or sink I bought?
Yes, absolutely, and we’re thrilled to install whatever customers have already bought along with what we provide. Either option, we’ll install them and make sure they’re connected right and working well.
