A new fixture must fit the sink, available mounting holes, countertop thickness, shutoff valves, supply lines, and space underneath the sink. Gotta Go Plumbing checks those conditions before installation so the body sits securely, the spout reaches the bowl, and the connections remain accessible for testing.
Before we install a kitchen faucet, we see how many holes are available, confirm the deck thickness, check the hot and cold valves, and compare the fixture's mounting requirements with the kitchen sink. A single-hole faucet, a double handle design, a side sprayer, or a separate soap dispenser can require different openings and clearances. We also inspect the current fixture, supply line, connector routing, and cabinet space. That helps prevent a mounting nut, pull-down hose, or connection from interfering with the basin, disposal, shelving, or stored items.
A drip, loose handle, weak stream, stiff control, or moisture below the sink can come from different parts. We determine whether the problem is at a cartridge, aerator, connection, spray head, fixture body, shutoff, or nearby connector before recommending replacement.
The completed faucet assembly should be secure at the deck, connected without strain, clear of moving cabinet parts, and tested under normal use.
We compare the assembly to the sink openings, confirm gasket or sealant requirements, and position it for useful spout and handle movement.
We hold the faucet in place while the approved gasket, washer, bracket, or mounting nut is secured from below without stressing the deck.
We connect approved water supply lines to the shutoff arrangement and route each connection without twisting or abrasion.
For a retractable design, we route the hose and weight so the end of the hose moves freely and returns to the dock.
We restore flow gradually, test both sides, operate the spray functions, flush the aerator as directed, and inspect for seepage.
This overview explains how we protect the sink, verify hidden conditions, and install the fixture. Exact steps follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the selected model.
We compare the fixture, mounting pattern, spout reach, accessories, connectors, and available cabinet space before disassembly.
We close and verify both shutoffs, open the current faucet to relieve pressure, and protect the cabinet area.
We separate the connectors, release the mounting hardware, detach any spray hose, and lift the existing fixture without damaging the sink surface.
We remove old residue, clean the deck, confirm the installation instructions, and place the specified gasket, putty, or sealant.
We set the fixture, align it at the deck, tighten the approved hardware, connect each water line, and route the spray components.
We open the water valves gradually, let the water run, clear the lines, test controls and spray modes, inspect underneath the sink, and review the work.
A home improvement project can become more involved when shutoffs will not close, fittings are corroded, access is tight, or the existing faucet is difficult to release. Turn off your water at working shutoffs before removing anything. Stop if a valve begins to seep, a rigid pipe moves, the sink is damaged, or the replacement does not match the openings.
Do not force a seized mounting nut against a thin or fragile sink deck.
Do not use Teflon tape where the connection seals with a gasket or compression surface.
Keep tools clear of disposal wiring and other equipment underneath your sink.
Follow the fixture installation instructions for sealant, hose clips, weights, and flushing.
Price depends on fixture design, sink-hole compatibility, cabinet access, removal difficulty, shutoff condition, connector needs, and accessories.
Fixture and sink compatibility
A direct single handle replacement differs from a multi-part design, thick deck, unusual opening pattern, or added accessory.
Removal and cabinet access
Open access differs from a corroded mounting nut, deep basin, disposal interference, rigid piping, or limited tool clearance.
Shutoff and connector condition
Working shutoffs and compatible connectors differ from seized controls, damaged threads, corrosion, or piping changes.
