Lurking Leaks

Your enameled steel sink may look fine on the surface, 

but what's lurking underneath?

We were here to repair a piece of leaky and corroded copper drainage pipe (old school).

Here is what the top of the bathroom sink looks like when we pulled out the old drain to "reseal" it.  It was leaking too.

So we tried to re-install the pop-up drain, but the drain hole in the bottom of the sink had rusted out.

This is not the first time we have seen this.

But in this case, we had to replace the sink for sure.

There have been instances where our client insists that we put the drain back in the same sink if it isn't totally rusted out (we don't recommend it as it is just going to leak again very soon anyway).

This is why porcelain sinks are now being used more frequently.
And that is exactly what we replaced it with.
