Every kitchen sink job includes the labor, standard parts, and testing to leave you with a working sink. If we find something extra, like a failing shut-off valve or a cracked trap arm, we show you and price it before we touch it. Here's what's covered on a typical call.
We replace faucet cartridges, O-rings, and aerators on Moen, Delta, and Kohler fixtures. If the faucet body itself is cracked or corroded, we quote a replacement and install it the same visit when you approve.
We replace basket strainers, tailpieces, P-traps, and trap arms. Every drain we reconnect gets checked for proper slope and venting so it drains fast and doesn't gurgle. We test with a full basin of water before we finish.
Old braided supply lines and seized shut-off valves are the most common cause of under-sink flooding. We replace them with new braided lines and quarter-turn valves, and we pressure-test the connection before we close the cabinet.
When we install or replace a sink, we reconnect the disposal, dishwasher drain line, and air gap. We run the disposal and a dishwasher cycle to confirm no leaks at the flange or drain connection.
We cut out the old basin, disconnect the plumbing, and haul the old sink and packaging away with us. You don't have to make a trip to the dump or figure out how to fit a cast-iron sink in your trunk.

Kitchen Sink Installation and Repair Shakopee MN is the licensed plumbing work that removes, replaces, or restores the sink basin, faucet, drain assembly, garbage disposal connection, and the supply and drain lines behind them. We cut out corroded pipe, set the new basin level, seal it with fresh plumber's putty or silicone, and pressure-test every joint before we pack up. Most single-basin swaps take two to four hours; a full replacement with new supply lines and a shut-off valve runs three to five hours.
In Shakopee, we see the same handful of problems over and over: hard water scale buildup choking aerators and cartridges, 1990s-era copper pipe pinholes under the cabinet, and drain traps packed with grease and coffee grounds. If you've been searching for kitchen sink installation near me Shakopee MN because your old sink finally gave out, we can usually get eyes on it the same day you call. Scott County homes deal with some of the hardest water in the metro, and that shortens the life of every faucet cartridge and supply line in the house.

You describe what's happening: dripping under the cabinet, slow drain, water backing up into the dishwasher, or a faucet that won't stop running. We ask three or four questions, give you a price range, and book a window. Most calls get a same-day or next-morning slot.
The plumber pulls everything out from under the sink, runs the water, and checks the supply lines, shut-off valve, P-trap, disposal flange, and drain tailpiece. If the drain is slow, we run a drain snake auger or camera to see whether the clog is in the trap or further down the line.
You get one number before work starts. If we find a cracked cast-iron trap arm or a shut-off valve that won't close, we show you and price the fix. You approve or decline. No work happens until you say go.
For a repair, we swap the failed part, test it under full pressure, and dry the cabinet. For a replacement, we cut out the old basin, set the new one, reconnect supply and drain lines, and hook up the disposal. Most replacements take three to five hours.
We fill the basin, run the disposal, check every joint with a dry paper towel, and run the dishwasher through a cycle if it ties into the sink drain. Then we haul the old sink and packaging out with us. You get a clean cabinet and a sink that works.

Used to break loose supply line nuts, trap fittings, and disposal flanges without stripping the threads. We carry two sizes on every truck.
Clears clogs in the P-trap and branch line. We run it before hydro jetting to confirm where the blockage sits and how far down it goes.
Scours grease, scale, and sludge off pipe walls. It's the right tool for recurring kitchen sink clogs in older Shakopee homes with cast-iron drain lines.
Shows us exactly what's blocking the line, whether it's root intrusion in sewer line, a collapsed section, or heavy buildup. We quote repairs based on what the camera sees.
Cuts copper pipe cleanly and makes press connections without soldering. Faster and safer under a kitchen cabinet where a torch flame is a bad idea.
Checks supply pressure at the sink. High pressure wears out cartridges and supply lines faster, so we test before we install new fixtures.
First-line tools for a simple clog. If they clear it, you save money. If not, we move to the auger and camera.
Every drain we reconnect meets UPC and Minnesota Plumbing Code requirements for trap arm slope, venting, and drain sizing. That protects you at inspection and at resale.
After any supply line or drain repair, we pressurize the line and check every joint with a dry paper towel. If a joint weeps, we fix it before we leave. No callbacks.
When a kitchen sink clogs more than once a year, snaking isn't enough. Hydro jetting scours the pipe walls clean and buys you years instead of months between clogs.
For any clog past the trap, we run a sewer camera inspection system before quoting a repair. You see the same footage we do, so there's no guesswork about what needs fixing.

We measure the new cutout, set the basin level, and reconnect supply and drain lines to the existing rough-in. If the shut-off valve or trap arm is old, we replace it while the cabinet is open. We handle undermount, drop-in, and farmhouse styles. A new sink that sits flush, drains fast, and doesn't leak. You get the finished look without a second plumber visit.
We replace the cartridge, tighten the handle assembly, and clean scale from the aerator. If the faucet body is corroded, we quote a replacement and install it the same visit when you approve. Most jobs finish in under two hours. A faucet that shuts off clean, no drip, no wasted water. Your water bill stops climbing.
We snake the branch line first, then hydro jet if grease or scale is the problem. If the clog keeps coming back, we run a sewer camera inspection system to check for root intrusion in sewer line or a collapsed section further down. A drain that flows freely and a clear answer about what's causing the recurring clog. No more guessing.
We answer the phone 24/7, walk you through shutting off the valve, and dispatch a plumber. We replace the supply line and shut-off valve, check the drain assembly while we're there, and dry the cabinet. The leak stopped, the line replaced, and no water damage spreading to the subfloor. Most emergency calls get resolved the same day.
Shakopee sits on some of the hardest water in the Twin Cities metro, and that shapes almost every kitchen sink call we run. Hard water scale buildup coats faucet cartridges, clogs aerators, and shortens the life of supply lines. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often still have original copper pipe under the sink, which develops pinholes and pitting after 30 years. Newer subdivisions in the Southbridge and Eagle Creek areas were built with PEX tubing, which handles hard water better but still needs quality shut-off valves. Winter matters too. Frozen pipe in an exterior kitchen wall is a real risk from December through March, and a split supply line can dump water into a cabinet overnight. If you need same-day kitchen sink repair Shakopee Minnesota service, call before noon and we can usually get a plumber to you that afternoon. We pull permits when the job requires one and schedule the Scott County inspection ourselves.
Mix of 1990s and 2000s homes. Many still have original shut-off valves that seize up and need replacement during a sink swap.
Newer construction with PEX tubing and PVC drain lines. Sink replacements here usually go faster because the rough-in is modern.
Larger lots and some older homes on private wells. Hard water is heavier here, so faucet cartridges fail sooner.
Older building stock with cast-iron drain lines. Recurring kitchen clogs here often need hydro jetting, not just snaking.
Shortens faucet cartridge life to three to five years instead of eight to ten. We stock Moen and Delta cartridges on every truck so most repairs finish in one visit.
A split line can flood a cabinet overnight. We insulate or reroute exposed runs during sink replacements and check for freeze risk while we're there.
Pinhole leaks and pitting are common after 30 years. We cut out weak sections and reconnect with copper pipe or PEX tubing during sink work.
Grease and scale build up faster on rough cast-iron walls. Recurring kitchen clogs often need hydro jetting rather than a standard drain snake auger.
A Shakopee homeowner had a faucet that dripped constantly for six months. The cabinet floor was stained and starting to swell, and the water bill had climbed about $15 a month. The faucet handle felt loose and the aerator was crusted with scale.
We replaced the Moen cartridge, installed a new aerator, and tightened the handle assembly. The drip stopped completely, the cabinet dried out, and the water bill dropped back to normal within one billing cycle. Total job time was about 75 minutes.
Maintenance: Wipe the faucet dry weekly and clean the aerator every six months in white vinegar. Shakopee's hard water will scale it up again, but regular cleaning doubles cartridge life.
A family in the Southbridge area had a kitchen sink that backed up every three to four weeks. Store-bought drain cleaner worked for a few days, then the clog returned. The disposal was also slow to drain and the dishwasher backed up into the sink.
We snaked the branch line, then hydro jetted the pipe walls to remove grease and scale. The drain now flows freely, the disposal empties fast, and the dishwasher drains without backing up. The clog hasn't returned in over a year.
Maintenance: Never pour grease down the sink. Run hot water for 30 seconds after each use and use a drain screen to catch food particles. An annual hydro jet keeps cast-iron lines clear.
A homeowner in Eagle Creek had a 22-year-old drop-in stainless sink with a chipped enamel edge and a disposal that hummed but wouldn't spin. The shut-off valve under the sink was seized and wouldn't close. The countertop cutout was slightly too small for a modern sink.
We cut the countertop to fit a new undermount basin, replaced the seized shut-off valve with a quarter-turn valve, installed a new disposal, and reconnected all supply and drain lines. The job took about five hours. The new sink sits flush and drains fast.
Maintenance: Rinse the undermount seal area weekly and check under the cabinet monthly for moisture. Run the disposal with cold water for 15 seconds after each use to keep it clear.
Most kitchen sink calls fall into a handful of categories. Here are the ones we see most often in Shakopee and Scott County, what happens if you ignore them, and how we fix them.
A steady drip wastes 10 to 20 gallons a day, stains the basin, and eventually corrodes the faucet body. Hard water scale buildup makes it worse every month you wait. We replace the faucet cartridge, clean or replace the aerator, and test the handle for smooth operation. Most cartridge swaps take under an hour and cost $180 to $320 in 2026. If the faucet body is pitted, we quote a full replacement.
Cabinet floors swell, particle board crumbles, and mold starts within 48 hours. Left long enough, water reaches the subfloor and you're looking at a much bigger repair. We trace the leak to the supply line, drain basket, or trap, fix the source, and dry the cabinet. If the shut-off valve is seized, we replace it with a quarter-turn valve while we're in there. Most under-sink leaks fix in one visit.
Standing water in the basin is a health issue and a sign the clog is growing. Grease and scale narrow the pipe until nothing gets through, and then you're dealing with a full backup. We clear the clog with a drain snake auger, then hydro jet the line if grease or scale has built up on the walls. If the clog is past the trap, we run a sewer camera inspection system to see what's blocking it before we quote anything.
A jammed disposal burns out the motor if you keep resetting it. A leaking disposal flange can also drip into the cabinet every time you run water. We free the jam, check the impeller, and test the motor under load. If the motor is burned out or the housing is cracked, we install a new disposal and reconnect the dishwasher drain line. Most swaps take about an hour.
A worn basin is hard to clean, harbors bacteria in scratches, and drags down the look of a remodeled kitchen. Undermount sinks also separate from the counter when the seal fails. We remove the old sink, check the countertop cutout, and install the new basin with fresh seals. We reconnect supply and drain lines, hook up the disposal, and test everything before we leave. Most replacements take three to five hours.

Our kitchen faucet had been dripping for months and the cabinet floor was starting to swell. The plumber found a cracked cartridge and a loose drain basket seal, replaced both, and dried everything out. Flat price quoted up front, done in about 90 minutes. No mess left behind.
We replaced a 20-year-old stainless sink with an undermount and added a new disposal. They cut the countertop cleanly, set the sink level, and tested everything under full pressure. Took about four hours. The old sink and packaging went out with them. Worth every dollar.
Our kitchen sink backed up the night before Thanksgiving. They answered the phone, walked me through shutting off the valve, and had a plumber out first thing. Turned out to be grease and scale in the branch line. Hydro jetted it and it's been draining fast ever since.
Most kitchen sink installations in Shakopee run $450 to $1,100 in 2026, including labor, a standard basin, new supply lines, and a shut-off valve. A drop-in stainless sink with a basic faucet sits at the low end. An undermount sink that needs countertop cutting, a farmhouse apron front, or a new garbage disposal pushes the price higher. We give you a flat number before we start.
The three most common causes we find in Shakopee are a failed faucet cartridge, a loose drain basket seal, and a cracked supply line. Hard water scale buildup accelerates all three. If water shows up only when the faucet runs, it's usually the drain assembly. If it drips constantly, it's the supply side or the cartridge. We diagnose it in about 15 minutes.
Yes. We clear clogged kitchen sink repair Shakopee Minnesota calls with a drain snake auger first, then a hydro jetting machine if grease or scale has built up on the pipe walls. Most clogs sit in the P-trap or the branch line and clear in under an hour. If the clog is further down the main line, we run a sewer camera inspection system to find it.
A standard kitchen sink replacement takes three to five hours from arrival to cleanup. That includes removing the old basin, checking and often replacing the shut-off valve, setting the new sink, reconnecting supply and drain lines, and testing under full pressure. Undermount sinks and jobs that need countertop modification can run a full day. We tell you the window when we quote the job.
