Updated Plumbing Ideas For Your Kitchen

Updated Plumbing Ideas For Your Kitchen

While many of us have been social distancing and staying at home more often, home improvement projects have become a hot topic. However, when it comes to some home projects, it can be tough to go the DIY route. Home upgrades that require updates to plumbing are best left to the professionals. At ASAP Plumbing, we can help you update appliances and plumbing with no problem!

Here are some of the most common ways to update your kitchen appliances.

Run or Replace Water Lines

As water lines age, they become more vulnerable to the effects of freezing, thawing, ground movement, water pressure, mineral buildup and tree intrusion. If a water line is damaged it can cause anything from water discoloration to reduced water pressure. It is a good idea to have someone inspect your water lines yearly, so you are never caught off guard by one of these problems.

Install or Replace Refrigerators

Refrigerators are one of the most used appliances in your home, much less kitchen, and with everything that they keep cool and fresh, we need them to function. Most modern refrigerators are equipped with water lines that are connected to the ice maker and water dispenser. These lines can freeze up or become broken at any moment. They are easy to replace and are often the source of your refrigerator’s problems, but we may need to examine the back of the refrigerator and space around it for any other issues. We can also install your brand new refrigerator if you decide it’s time for a replacement.

Replace a Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposals are good to have in homes because they make dishwashing easier for everyone, but when it breaks, you’ll want to replace it. Replacement and repairs on garbage disposals may be quite frequent, as they are abused more than the average household appliance. Please do not try to fix or replace your garbage disposal on your own. We have no problem replacing or installing a new one, but it can be a dangerous job for someone who is not trained properly.

Install a Dishwasher

Installing a dishwasher is both an important plumbing and electrical project. Dishwasher installation usually has three hookups: a 20-amp electrical receptacle, hot water supply and drainage, so it is best to install the dishwasher near the kitchen sink. Improper dishwasher installation can result in flooding, which is especially a problem if you happen to be out of the house. It is best to contact a plumbing professional who knows what they are doing when you need to install or replace a dishwasher, as many parts can break down and cause problems in the kitchen.

Fix or Replace a Washing Machine

We all use washing machines frequently. I mean, what would we do without them? But, did you know washing machines experience more repairs than any other household appliance? Usually, there are two reasons for the washing machine breaking. The first is because the tub in the machine undergoes extreme movement while carrying a heavy load of wet clothes in every wash. The second is because most families run 2-3 loads of laundry per day, and because it is used so often maintenance is frequently needed.

We offer all of these services and more to help update not just your kitchen but your whole house. Remember to not try to replace or install any of these items if you do not have proper training, and it is best to contact a licensed professional.
