Looking for a kitchen plumber to help you fit your washing machine? A plumber specialising in kitchen work can help you discover where the leak is coming from, repair your smelly kitchen drain or replace your entire kitchen sink if needed.

A specialist kitchen plumber company will help you with every aspect of your kitchen repairs or installation projects:

Plumbing in appliances

• dishwasher, usually only a cold-water supply and a waste supply
• washing machine, this can be plumbed into hot and cold water as well as the waste supply
• food waste disposal, replacing existing waste trap with the disposal unit under the sink
• instant boiling water tap, sitting on the counter top providing 100°C boiling water instantly without a need for a kettle
• water softener, fitted under the kitchen sink so that water that first enters the property flows through the softener before flowing through the taps
• ice machine, the water line needs to be able to provide the full amount of water pressure required by the ice maker and a shut-off valve should be fitted

Plumbing repairs

• taps, repairing a leak or replacing a current tap
• repair a leak in pipework
• fix a blockage or smell from the drain
• replacing any worn out shut off valves

What process does the plumber go through to find a kitchen leak?

Signs of a water leak can be so stressful. Especially when not knowing where it might be coming from. A plumber will go through a process of elimination to discover the cause of the kitchen  leak. 

Everything from underneath the kitchen sink needs to be cleared out to maximise working space and have the cupboard well dried out.

Dry off every drainpipe, and every connection; dishwasher, washing machine, ice maker, waste disposal, water softener…

At this stage the plumber might notice the water drips returning immediately after wiping making it obvious the cause of the kitchen leak.

If not, fill up the sink bowls with water, checking for water leaks while running the water.

Then one sink bowl at a time, pull the plug to allow the water to drain out, while you study the waste flow pipes below, having paper towels in hard to see areas to catch any spots of water. Often the white plastic waste pipes come loose, or the washer seals disintegrate over time and this is a cause for water leaks.

If the water leak still has not made itself known, the kitchen plumber will systematically run each appliance connected to the line. E.g., starting with the dishwasher, letting it run for a few minutes to fill up with water and then cancelling the cycle to let it drain the water to test both the pull in and push out of water for signs of leakage. Once one appliance is ruled out, move on to the next repeating the test.

If the appliances are all safe from water leaks, the plumber will need to check carefully and systematically shut off valves, the tap supply line and check the kitchen taps.
Rigorous tests on the kitchen tap will include;

• turning it on and off repeatedly
• moving the handle in various directions.
• moving the spout back-and-forth
• if the tap has a sprayer, pulling it out a few times

Keep an eye under the sink and have your paper towels ready to spot any leaks. A tap may only show the leak when moved a certain way.

By now, the leak should have made itself known, if it STILL hasn’t the plumber might insist that it is an intermittent leak and ask you to keep an eye on the areas over time and pay attention to what appliance was running when the leak re-appeared. This of course makes more sense than the plumber changing every pipe, valve, drain in the kitchen.

What do kitchen plumbers near you do?

A kitchen plumber is generally concerned with kitchen fixtures. There are quite a number of skills that professional kitchen plumbers have. Some of them include:

• Leak repairs: When there is a leak in the kitchen, you waste water as well as money. Kitchens are generally full of pipes, valves and fixtures; a kitchen plumber can repair or prevent leaks.
