Kitchen Plumbing in Ball Ground and Canton, GA
Kitchen plumbing, from the disposal to the remodel
The kitchen is where plumbing problems get noticed first, because it is the one sink the whole house uses three times a day. Performance Plumbing is a licensed plumber based on Valley Street in Ball Ground, Georgia master plumber license MP210684, and our trucks run Canton, Holly Springs, Woodstock and the rest of Cherokee County every day. Most kitchen calls are fixed in a single visit, there is no service call fee, and you hear the flat rate number before anyone opens the cabinet.

Garbage disposals: repair, or replace
A disposal that hums but will not spin is usually jammed, not dead. Turn it off, never put a hand in it, and if you are comfortable, use the hex key in the slot on the bottom to free the plate and press the red reset button underneath. If it runs and the jam clears, you are done. If it trips again, leaks from the bottom, or has stopped grinding, it is time to replace it, and most units are a same visit swap. We install the horsepower that matches the household and the sink, and we check the dishwasher drain connection while we are under there, because a kinked or clogged dishwasher line shows up as a sink that will not drain.
Faucets and sink drains
A dripping kitchen faucet is usually a worn cartridge or seals, and on a quality faucet we repair it. On a builder grade faucet that has been dripping for a year, replacement often costs about the same as the repair and gets you a better fixture. Low pressure at the kitchen sink alone is usually the aerator or the cartridge, not the house. For drains, grease is the enemy in Cherokee County kitchens: it cools in the P-trap and the line and narrows it a little every month until the sink stops. We clear it without corrosive chemicals. When every drain in the house is slow at once, the problem is the main line, and that hands off to our drain cleaning page.
Kitchen remodels
Moving the sink to an island, adding a prep sink, running a water line to a new refrigerator location or a pot filler over the range all happen before the cabinets and counters go in. We do the rough-in to match your layout, coordinate with your contractor or cabinet installer, then come back for the final connections once the counters are set. If the remodel includes a new water heater or a whole house filter, we size those at the same time.

Questions people ask before they call
My garbage disposal hums but does not spin. Is it broken?
Usually it is jammed, not broken. Turn it off, use the hex key in the slot on the bottom to free the plate, and press the red reset button. If it jams again, leaks from the bottom or stops grinding, it is time to replace it.
How long does it take to replace a garbage disposal?
Most replacements are done in a single visit, usually under an hour once we are there. We stock common units on the truck.
Do you repair faucets or just replace them?
Both. A quality faucet with a worn cartridge gets repaired. A builder grade faucet that has dripped for a year is often better replaced, and we tell you which before the work starts.
Why is my kitchen sink the only slow drain?
Grease. It cools in the trap and the line and narrows it a little every month. We clear it without corrosive chemicals. If every drain in the house is slow, that is the main line, a different job.
Can you hook up my new dishwasher?
Yes, including the water supply, the drain connection with a proper high loop or air gap, and checking the shut-off valve under the sink.
Do you install pot fillers and touchless faucets?
Yes. Pot fillers need a new water line to the range wall, which is easiest during a remodel but possible on a finished kitchen.
Can you move my sink to an island?
Yes. That is rough-in work done before cabinets and counters, with the final connections after the counters are set. We coordinate with your contractor.
Is there a service call fee?
No. We come out, look at the problem and give you a flat rate quote before any work starts.
Do you install under-sink water filters?
Yes, reverse osmosis and carbon units at the sink, and whole house systems if you want every tap covered.
