How to choose the ideal kitchen sink, helpful suggestions from Elsea Plumbing in Prescott

Has your old kitchen sink wore out its welcome? Having trouble deciding what type of kitchen sink to get? Elsea Plumbing in Prescott would like to share some tips that might help you find the ideal sink.

What type of sink do you want?

While there are many types of sinks, three main types are most common. First is the under-mounted sink. These sinks are mounted below the bench top, making them easier to clean. The second is the most common, the top mounted sink. These sinks rest right on top of the bench. The final type is the farmhouse sink. These sinks are usually very deep and stick out of the bench.

What size does the sink need to be?

If you already have a bench with an existing hole then the size dimensions are pretty much set. Find a sink that fits the original measurements. If you're installing a sink into a new bench then measure the cabinet length between the joists to get the maximum length you can install.

How many bowls will your sink have?

You must decide how many bowls your new sink will have. A single bowl sink is easier to clean but makes it impossible to work on multiple tasks at once like washing the dishes and prepping vegetables at the same time. A double bowl is more common and as mentioned beforehand, allows for multitasking.

What type of material?

While stainless steel is the most common material used in sinks, other materials are available like cast iron, granite, and stone. Each material has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Prescott Plumbing - Considering an Automated Sprinkler System? Three Questions to Ask Your Contractor - Elsea Plumbing in Prescott

Automated sprinkler systems can be used to water plants and grass. The automaton can be very effective in saving you time and money. If you're considering a sprinkler system, Elsea Plumbing in Prescott encourages you to ask your local contractor many questions. Here are a few important questions you should ask a contractor.

What is the warranty of the sprinkler system you want installed?

This is a very important to find out what the warranty is for the system because it varies from manufacturer. In some cases each 'part' of the sprinkler system might have its own warranty! You should find out if the warranty covers damage caused by lawn mowers and other machines. Also find out what the contractor's warranty covers and it's duration.

Will the contractor get the necessary licenses to install the sprinkler system?

Most cities require licenses and permits for most landscaping work. Is your contractor willing to fetch the licenses for you or is this a task that you have to do yourself? It can be quite the hassle to get these licenses and some contractors will decline doing the leg work. Either way, make sure to get these licenses because if you're caught installing a system without proper licensing, both you and the contractor will be heavily fined.

Is the contractor willing to provide schematics of the sprinkler system?

Sprinkler systems can be very complicated. It is very important that the contractor provide a schematic before installing the sprinkler system. The benefits are two fold, first you will know where the all hoses are going to be placed in the area and lets you know exactly what the contractor is going to do.
