Kitchen Faucet Questions
Why is my kitchen faucet leaking?
Common causes include daily wear and tear, defective or damaged internal parts (cartridges, O-rings, or seats), and improper installation. A small drip wastes water, raises your utility bill, and can signal a bigger problem if ignored. We’ve been repairing kitchen faucets for families in Little Rock and North Little Rock for over 70 years.
Can you repair or replace any brand of kitchen faucet?
Yes. We repair and install kitchen faucets of all brands, including pull-down, touchless, and commercial-style models. Whether you need a simple cartridge replacement or a complete upgrade, we can recommend the right options — from high-end fixtures for gourmet kitchens to reliable everyday models.
How much does kitchen faucet repair or installation cost?
We use transparent flat-rate pricing. You’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. Call 501-666-9483 for a clear quote.
Garbage Disposal Questions
What should I look for when buying a new garbage disposal?
Key features include:
- Horsepower – Aim for ¾ HP or higher for better performance and quieter operation.
- Stainless steel construction – Resists corrosion and lasts longer than galvanized steel.
- Continuous feed vs. batch feed – Continuous feed units run while the switch is on; batch feed units start only when a special stopper is inserted.
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?
This often means the unit is jammed or the motor is failing. Strange noises, leaks, or a disposal that won’t turn on are all common issues we diagnose and fix quickly. We also install reliable new units when replacement is the better long-term solution.
Can you install a new garbage disposal?
Yes. Associated Plumbers handles professional garbage disposal repair and replacement throughout the Little Rock area.
Kitchen Drain & Sink Questions
Why does my kitchen sink keep clogging?
Kitchen drains commonly clog from grease, food scraps, coffee grounds, and other debris. Slow drains and recurring clogs respond well to professional hydro-jetting and camera inspection services. We clear the line and help prevent future backups without harsh chemicals that can damage older pipes.
What should I never put down my kitchen sink?
Avoid grease, cooking oil, flour, bones, coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta, rice, and stringy foods (celery, corn husks). These materials cause buildup and blockages over time.
Can you fix water pooling under the kitchen sink?
Yes. Leaking supply lines, corroded shut-off valves, or damaged P-traps can cause water damage quickly. We replace worn parts and restore a watertight seal.
Dishwasher, Ice Maker & Specialty Questions
Do you install dishwashers?
Yes. We handle the water supply line, drain connection, and related plumbing so your new dishwasher works safely and correctly.
Can you install a built-in or free-standing ice maker?
Yes. Undercounter (built-in) ice makers sit quietly inside cabinetry, while free-standing units can be placed almost anywhere — ideal for homes, offices, or commercial spaces.
What are the benefits of a hot water dispenser?
Hot water dispensers provide instant hot water for coffee, tea, oatmeal, soup, or cleaning without waiting for a kettle. They are energy-efficient, convenient, and help reduce kitchen clutter.
Do you install undersink water filtration systems?
Yes. An undersink filtration system delivers cleaner drinking water right at your kitchen sink — a convenient alternative to bottled water.
