Local Plumbing Solutions
Kitchen Plumbing Services for Your Wilmington Home
Your kitchen relies on clean water lines, tight pipe joints, and dependable fixtures every single day. Faucets and supply lines work hard during daily cooking and cleanup. When valves wear out or pipes drip, moisture can quickly damage your cabinets and subfloors. Prompt repairs help you avoid expensive structural repairs later.
Burns & McBride provides dependable kitchen plumbing services across Wilmington, DE, and nearby areas. Our licensed technicians follow Delaware plumbing regulations and local municipal standards. We handle everything from minor valve repairs to complete kitchen fixture installations.
You can safely handle minor tasks like cleaning mineral buildup out of an aerator. However, hidden leaks behind cabinets or under sinks need professional diagnostic tools. We inspect water pressure, check pipe layout, and test shutoff valves under full water flow. Our kitchen plumbing services keep your home clean, safe, and working smoothly.
Fixture Repairs
Plumbing Repair Services for Sinks and Faucets
Leaking faucets, loose handles, damaged seals, and worn sink connections can waste water and lead to moisture damage inside cabinets. Burns & McBride provides kitchen plumbing repair for common fixture problems, including dripping faucets, failing cartridges, loose fittings, leaking supply lines, and damaged shutoff valves.
Our technicians inspect the affected components to determine whether a targeted repair or replacement part will restore reliable performance. We can replace worn seals, cartridges, supply lines, and valves while checking nearby connections for corrosion or leaks. When a fixture is too damaged to repair effectively, we’ll explain the available replacement options and recommend the best next step.
Kitchen Upgrades
Appliance & Fixture Installation
Burns & McBride provides professional kitchen plumbing installation for appliances, fixtures, and water connections. Our technicians install dishwasher drain lines, refrigerator water lines, garbage disposals, shutoff valves, and other components, ensuring each connection is secure, accessible, and properly configured.
We also handle updates needed during renovations or appliance replacements, including rerouting supply and drain lines and coordinating gas connections for ranges or cooktops when needed. Our team focuses on clean workmanship, reliable performance, and code-compliant results that help protect cabinets, flooring, and surrounding areas from leaks or drainage problems.

Water Damage Prevention
Protecting Cabinets and Flooring from Moisture
Cabinets and floors under kitchen sinks face constant risk from small water leaks. A loose compression nut or worn valve stem can leak quietly inside a dark cabinet for weeks. By the time you spot wood swelling, moisture may have already soaked into your subfloors.
Professional kitchen plumbing services stop hidden leaks before they spread through your home. We replace weak plastic nuts with heavy cast brass fittings. We use professional pipe sealants and seat each rubber gasket cleanly. These methods keep your pipe joints secure against heavy vibrations from dishwashers and disposals.
We also replace stuck multi-turn valves with smooth quarter-turn ball valves. Older gate valves often freeze up after years of inactivity. Quarter-turn ball valves give you instant control of your water supply during an emergency, lowering the risk of interior flooding.
Optimal Performance
Improving Fixture Lifespan and Water Pressure
Low water pressure at your kitchen sink makes routine cleaning frustrating. Mineral deposits in aerators, pinched supply lines, or half-closed valves often restrict water flow. Burns & McBride technicians inspect your piping network to restore strong water flow across both hot and cold lines.
Proper pipe alignment also protects your dishwasher and refrigerator water valves from premature wear. When supply lines have tight bends or narrow restrictions, appliance valves work harder and fail sooner. Smooth water flow helps these valves last longer.
Our kitchen plumbing services also include installing water hammer arrestors where fast-closing appliance valves cause loud banging in the wall. These arrestors cushion sudden pressure shocks. They protect your pipes and soldered joints from vibration damage over time.

Common Inquiries
Common Kitchen Fixture Questions Answered
Here are clear answers to frequent questions homeowners ask about our kitchen plumbing services and fixture installations.
How do I know if my kitchen shutoff valves need replacement?
Replace your valve if it feels stuck, drips around the stem, or fails to shut off water completely. Modern quarter-turn ball valves provide dependable protection, while older gate valves often jam and leak over time.
When can I repair a faucet instead of replacing it?
You can repair a faucet if the outer body is clean and replacement cartridges are readily available. If the metal has internal corrosion or replacement parts are no longer made, installing a new faucet is the best choice.
Can your technicians run a water line for my new refrigerator?
Yes. We install dedicated copper or braided stainless steel supply lines from your cold water pipe. Our kitchen plumbing services include adding an accessible shutoff valve in a nearby cabinet for easy access.
Why is water pressure low only at my kitchen sink?
Low water pressure at one sink usually points to a clogged aerator, a worn cartridge, or a kinked supply line. You can unscrew and rinse your aerator screen. If the screen is clean, our technicians will inspect your cartridge and supply lines.
Do you install gas piping for kitchen cooktops?
Yes. Our technicians install and test gas lines for cooktops and ranges according to local fuel gas standards. We size each line for adequate gas volume, add an accessible shutoff valve, and verify system pressure.
How long does kitchen fixture installation take?
Standard faucet and garbage disposal installations typically take one to two hours. Installing new sink basins or running new gas supply lines takes two to four hours, depending on your cabinet layout.
