Sink Repair & Installation
Reliable Sink Services throughout Northeast Ohio
Sink problems generally fall into two categories: leaks and drainage issues. Leaks can originate at the faucet, supply lines, basket strainer, or P-trap beneath the basin, while slow or blocked drainage usually results from buildup inside the drain trap. A leak deserves prompt attention before unnoticed water damages the cabinet, flooring, and anything stored below.
Edwards has repaired and installed sinks for Northeast Ohio homeowners since 1960. Our team handles everything from a worn supply line or a stubborn clog to a complete sink installation during a remodel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a sink to drain slowly?
A slow drain is usually the result of buildup inside the drain or trap. In a kitchen sink, that often means grease and food debris. In a bathroom, it is more commonly hair, soap, and toothpaste residue. The buildup accumulates gradually, narrowing the passage until water drains more and more slowly. A worn or partially blocked P-trap can also contribute. When a sink does not respond to plunging, the clog is typically deeper in the line, and professional cleaning clears it more thoroughly than surface remedies.
How do I know if my under-sink leak is from the faucet or the drain?
The timing of the leak is often the best indicator. A leak that appears only when the water is running usually originates at the supply lines or the faucet connections. A leak that shows up when the sink drains or that pools after the sink has been used more often points to the drain assembly, the basket strainer, or the P-trap. Although the source can be difficult to pinpoint since water travels before it collects, we will locate the origin and repair it.
Can Edwards install a sink I purchased myself?
Yes. If you have already chosen a sink you like, we are glad to install it for you. We can also recommend a fixture suited to your space and how you use it. Either way, we handle removing the old sink, installing and sealing the new one, and connecting the drain and supply lines. We test all of our work before we finish.
How long does sink installation take?
A standard sink replacement usually takes a few hours, which covers removing the old fixture, preparing the surface, setting and sealing the new sink, connecting the drain and supply lines, and testing for leaks. It can take longer if there are complications underneath, such as corroded shut-off valves or worn supply lines, or if the new sink requires modifications to fit the existing countertop.
What's included in a sink replacement?
A sink replacement covers the full process of removing the existing sink and installing the new one. That includes disconnecting and removing the old fixture, fitting and sealing the new sink to the countertop, reconnecting or replacing the drain assembly and P-trap as needed, connecting the supply lines, and testing for proper drainage and leaks. If components such as the supply lines or shut-off valves are worn, we can address them while we replace your sink. If you are adding a garbage disposal, we can install it at the same time.
