Stainless Steel Sink. Seperated From A Granite Countertop

I got a call from a plumber that I know and a customer of his had a stainless steel sink that had been stepped in and it seperated from a granite countertop.

I thought that the house had been broken into to because someone had crawled in through the kitchen window to get in. It turns out, it was just an impatient teenager that couldn't wait a few minutes for someone to come home and let him in.

This is probably one of those stories that teen will tell for years to come. I can just imagine how scared he probably was when that sink dropped. I don't know what kind of trouble he got into for that but I would have have been quaking in my boots knowing that I was going to have to face my Mom and stepdad after that one.

Anyway, the weird thing about it is how the sink was installed in the first place. The fabricator had adhered the sink to the countertop with a thin smear of cement that was smudged over the flange of the sink and that was all. There was no silicone for waterproofing and there were no clamps in place to hold the sink firm to the bottom of the countertop


Turns out, the fabricator had been out several times to reattach the sink and had finally ended up placing a piece of pvc pipe from the floor to the bottom of the sink to hold the sink up. All I could do is shake my head and get to work.
