A plumber doesn't just do repairs. Their trained skills and knowledge can also help with installations in your home, especially when you want to expand and add extra water access to various rooms. One area where a plumber can help your home is with the installation of an extra sink.

With sinks available in both the kitchen and bathroom, you may find other areas where sink access really benefits your everyday living. Check out some of the areas where you may enjoy an extra sink installation and learn the ways a plumber can help with the installation.

1. Kitchen Island

Make food prep and everyday kitchen use a lot easier with a small sink in your kitchen island. A plumber can run pipes from the kitchen sink, underneath the floor, and up into a kitchen island. The kitchen island acts as a central hub for the room and a sink can provide a lot of benefits for your kitchen.

When you serve dinner, the sink makes it easy for everyone to wash their hands before they eat. As you prepare dinner, you can use a sink to rinse off any fruits or vegetables. Instead of cleaning off produce and then carrying it from one counter to the next, you can prepare everything right on the same island.

2. Double Vanity Bathroom

Adding a second sink to your bathroom can save a lot of time in your daily routine. Multiple people can use the bathroom at once to brush teeth, put makeup on, or go through their daily skincare routine. A plumber can easily expand a bathroom area to include two sinks.

Each person can enjoy their own bathroom sink area and have access to water when they need it. The extra sink provides a lot of convince and is ideal for both adult and children's bathrooms. For example, if children have a shared bathroom, then they can have separate sinks to help reduce fights and arguments.

3. Laundry Room

While a washer will provide a majority of the cleaning in a laundry room, a sink installation can provide a lot of extra benefits. For example, you could install a laundry room sink that allows you to easily spot clean clothes before they go in the washer. Some clothes may have a lot of debris like dried dirt and mud that you do not want to go into the wash.

If you have young children, then a laundry room sink provides clean-up options for children who have accidents in bed or get sick on different clothing and fabrics. Instead of using another sink in the home, you can complete the first cleaning tasks with the laundry room sink and then transfer the articles right into the washer.

With laundry rooms already equipped for plumbing, a plumber can easily extend the pipes and provide a sink installation for the room that fits your needs.

4. Garage

A sink in your garage can provide a lot of water access for tasks you do not want to do in the house. For example, you may need to clean a dirty pet who got into a mud puddle. You may have shoes with snow and mud on them. You may have garden tools or other items that need a quick wash.

Keep all of these dirty elements out of your regular sinks by using a garage sink. A garage sink can feature a large bay and quick access to water needs. If you garden, then the sink provides an ideal way to fill up watering cans or to tend to potted plants.
