Yes, Done repairs and services existing kitchen plumbing fixtures — faucets, garbage disposals, dishwasher supply and drain connections, sink drains, and under-sink supply lines. If something in your kitchen is dripping, running slow, making noise, or just not working right, our plumbers can diagnose and fix it. Kitchen plumbing issues are among the most common calls we get, and most repairs are straightforward same-day work.
Common Kitchen Plumbing Repairs
Kitchen fixtures take a lot of daily use and wear out over time. The most frequent issues we see include:
- Dripping or running faucets — often worn cartridges, O-rings, or valve seats that can be replaced without swapping the whole fixture
- Low water pressure at the kitchen faucet — frequently caused by a clogged aerator or a supply line issue, both quick fixes
- Garbage disposal problems — humming but not spinning (usually a jammed impeller), not turning on (often a tripped reset button or failed switch), or leaking from the bottom seal
- Slow kitchen sink drain — typically grease and food buildup in the drain line, addressed with cleaning or, in stubborn cases, professional drain cleaning
- Leaking supply lines or shutoff valves under the sink — often the source of cabinet moisture damage that goes unnoticed until it’s significant
- Dishwasher connection issues — supply line leaks or drain hose problems that cause water under the machine or on the floor
Repair vs. Replacement: How We Think About It
We approach fixture repair honestly. If a faucet cartridge replacement will get you five or ten more years out of a fixture you like, that’s usually the right call. If a fixture is corroded internally, the parts are no longer available, or the repair cost approaches what a new fixture would cost installed, we’ll tell you that and let you decide. No one should spend $200 repairing a $150 faucet if they don’t have a specific reason to keep it.
Denver’s hard water accelerates wear on kitchen fixtures. Mineral deposits build up inside faucet bodies and cartridges, shortening their useful life compared to what you’d see in a softer-water region. If you’re on your second or third faucet replacement in a relatively new home, it may be worth talking to us about water quality treatment — a softener or filtration system can extend the life of your fixtures and appliances significantly.
Fixture Upgrades and New Installations
Beyond repairs, Done handles new fixture installations and upgrades as part of our kitchen and bath plumbing services. If you’re remodeling your kitchen or simply want to replace an outdated faucet with something newer, we can handle the swap — including proper supply line connections, securing the fixture to the sink, and testing for leaks before we leave. We can also install filtration systems, instant hot water dispensers, and reverse osmosis units at the kitchen sink if you’re looking to improve your water quality at the tap.
Maintenance to Prevent Kitchen Plumbing Problems
A few habits that help kitchen plumbing last longer: run cold water for 15–20 seconds after using the garbage disposal to flush material through the drain line. Avoid putting grease, fibrous vegetables, or starchy foods (potato peels, pasta) down the drain — these are the most common sources of kitchen drain clogs. Check the cabinet under your sink occasionally for moisture; catching a slow leak from a supply line or drain connection early saves real damage. If your faucet starts dripping, addressing it sooner rather than later prevents the cartridge from wearing further and potentially damaging the valve seat.
