What is the best approach to fixing an under mount kitchen sink?

January 19th, 2012

My under mount kitchen sink is failing and pulling away from the granite counter top and I worry will continue to get worse or damage the disposal. The person who installed the sink obviously did a poor job and the sink is basically separating from the cut out area on the counter top. From what I can tell, there are no brackets, just wooden braces on the perimeter of the cabinet. Whats the best way to fix this? Actual Bracing? Brackets? I have 1" granite. Thank you for your help!

Re-sealing an under-mount sink with a granite counter top?

January 19th, 2012

My stainless steel under-mount kitchen sink has separated from the granite counter top. There is now a gap (approximately 3/8-inch) between the sink and the granite. Can I simply re-caulk the surfaces and shim the sink up from the bottom to re-create the seal? Or do I need to totally remove the sink (drain and disposal) to re-install?

Thanks,
Bill
I should add that the sink was originally installed approx 10 years ago. Is there a life expectancy for this type of thing?
