Hello! This is Shingo from Sakura Handyman Service.
I recently got a call from one of the units here at Heintzman Place. There was a water leak from the dishwasher. As many of you may know, water leaks can cause serious damage, especially in condos. Thankfully, this unit was on the main floor, so there were no neighbours below to worry about.
As it turns out, the leak did a number on the cabinets and drywall behind them, so everything needed to be replaced. Normally, when kitchen cabinet replacement is necessary, the countertops need to come out too. But this kitchen's layout had the countertops fitted snugly between the walls - so I left the countertops in place with temporary supports, leaving the sink and drain pipe intact. This meant there was no need to bring in a plumber - saving extra cost in the process.
It was definitely a fun and challenging puzzle to work around the hanging countertops, but I made it happen!
If you're dealing with something similar, or just want to chat through your options, I would love to help. Don't hesitate to reach out!
