Remove Undermount Sink From Granite

Removing an undermount sink from granite is a job that requires precision and care. Granite is a hard and brittle material, so any mistakes during removal could damage the stone. If you are not experienced in working with granite, it is best to have a professional remove the sink for you.

However, if you are confident in your abilities, you can remove the sink yourself by following these steps:

Prepare the area. Clear the area around the sink of any obstacles, and cover the granite with a drop cloth to protect it from scratches.
Disconnect the water supply. Turn off the water supply to the sink and disconnect the water lines from the faucet.
Disconnect the drain. Loosen the drainpipe and remove it from the sink.
Remove the clips. The sink is held in place by clips that are attached to the granite. Use a screwdriver to remove the clips.
Lift the sink. Once the clips are removed, you should be able to lift the sink out of the granite. Be careful not to damage the sink or the granite.
Clean the granite. Once the sink is removed, clean the granite surface thoroughly. Remove any adhesive or sealant residue.

If you are unable to remove the sink yourself, or if you damage the granite during removal, contact a professional for assistance.

Tips

Use a sharp utility knife to score the adhesive or sealant around the sink before removing it.
If the sink is particularly heavy, you may need to use a jack or other lifting device to remove it.
Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when working with granite.

Warnings

Do not use a hammer or other sharp object to remove the sink. This could damage the granite.
Do not lift the sink by the faucet. This could damage the sink or the faucet.
