Your kitchen depends on more plumbing than just the sink. Faucets, drains, garbage disposals, dishwashers, refrigerator water lines and the water and drain piping behind them all need to work together properly. When something leaks, drains poorly or needs to be replaced, Marc Francis Plumbing provides experienced kitchen plumbing service in Johnson City and surrounding Tri-Cities communities.
With more than 40 years of hands-on plumbing experience, Marc can evaluate the problem, explain the available options and determine whether a repair, replacement or plumbing modification makes the most sense for your home.

Garbage Disposal Installation & Replacement
A garbage disposal that leaks, hums, jams repeatedly or no longer operates properly may need repair or replacement. The problem may also involve the sink drain, mounting connection or surrounding plumbing rather than the disposal itself.
Marc Francis Plumbing can inspect the installation and determine what is causing the problem. When replacement is appropriate, the new disposal can be properly connected to the existing sink and drain system. Disposal selection can also be based on the homeowner's needs rather than limiting the installation to one particular manufacturer or model.

Dishwasher & Refrigerator Water Line Installation
Dishwashers and refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers require properly installed plumbing connections. Marc Francis Plumbing installs and connects dishwasher water and drain lines as well as refrigerator and ice maker water supply lines.
Existing connections can also be evaluated when replacing an appliance. Older shutoff valves, deteriorated supply lines or poorly placed connections may need attention before the new appliance is installed.
Kitchen Sink, Faucet & Drain Plumbing
Leaking faucets, dripping connections, slow drains and plumbing beneath the kitchen sink are common service needs. A leak under a sink can originate from the faucet, supply lines, shutoff valves, drain connections, disposal or piping, so identifying the actual source is important before making a repair.
Marc Francis Plumbing can repair or replace kitchen faucets, address sink and drain plumbing problems and install new plumbing components when fixtures are being updated.
Plumbing for Kitchen Renovations
Changing the layout of a kitchen can require much more than installing new fixtures. Moving a sink, dishwasher or refrigerator may require changes to water supply piping, drains, vents and shutoff locations.
Marc Francis Plumbing handles the plumbing portion of kitchen renovation projects, including relocating or replacing piping when necessary. This allows the plumbing system to support the new kitchen layout without presenting MFP as a general remodeling contractor.

Repair or Replace? Start With the Actual Problem
Not every kitchen plumbing problem requires replacement. A leaking connection, worn shutoff valve or other individual component may be repairable without replacing an entire fixture or appliance connection.
When replacement does make more sense, Marc can explain why and discuss the options before the work proceeds. That experience is especially valuable when several components under a kitchen sink are connected and the source of a problem is not immediately obvious.
