Story from Fountain Valley – Near Mile Square Park
Just last fall, we installed a new single-basin Kraus sink in a house off Brookhurst and La Alameda, near Mile Square Park. The homeowners were remodeling their kitchen for the first time since the 80s, and the old cast-iron sink was rusted underneath. They picked a stainless model with a deep bowl, but the new sink was just a hair too wide.
Using our precision router and diamond blades, we reshaped the opening without damaging the quartz top. The customer also needed the disposal remounted and a new basket strainer put in. We installed a solid brass strainer and sealed it all tight with plumber’s putty. The job took less than two hours and left the kitchen looking brand new. They even booked us the next week to replace the laundry sink, too.
What Can Go Wrong During DIY Sink Installs
We’ve seen more than a few DIY sink installs around Fountain Valley that didn’t quite go right. One of the biggest slip-ups is failing to level the sink properly. Even a tiny slant can cause pooling or water to run under the counter. Another issue? Skipping the silicone seal or using cheap caulk—those fail fast and lead to cabinet damage.
Folks also tend to over-tighten drain connections, which cracks the gasket or even the flange. And using the wrong type of clips or forgetting them completely can cause the whole sink to shift over time. If your sink’s rocking or dripping after you “installed it yourself,” don’t worry. We’ll get it sealed and solid like it should be.

Homeowner Prep Tips
You don’t have to do much before we arrive, but here’s a few ways to help the job go faster—and maybe save a little money. Clear out everything under the sink: trash cans, cleaners, tools, anything loose. That gives us direct access and speeds things up.
Make sure your new sink is onsite and still in the box. We’ll inspect it with you before opening to check for dents, warps, or broken corners. If the countertop is delicate (like granite or quartz), let us know ahead of time so we can bring protective gear and extra blades. We’re happy to handle everything, but a little prep goes a long way.
