Few residential issues escalate faster than a leaking or corroded sink drain. What starts as a slow drip under the kitchen cabinet can turn into warped flooring, mold growth, and costly structural damage. When you need dependable drain replacement Grand Rapids MI residents rely on, CountBricks is the clear choice. By pairing experienced plumbing crews with AI-powered estimating tools, we eliminate guesswork and deliver up-front clarity on costs, materials, and timelines.
• Water damage spreads behind base cabinets, inviting rot and attracting pests
• Moisture creates the perfect breeding ground for mold, affecting indoor air quality
• Insurance claims often deny coverage when maintenance issues are ignored
• Property value drops when home inspections flag neglected plumbing
A proactive drain replacement project with CountBricks costs far less than repairing the aftermath of an unnoticed leak. Our voice-driven estimating platform captures the details of your space in real time and generates a line-item quote before we leave the driveway.
1. During your on-site visit, our technician opens the CountBricks mobile app and speaks naturally: “Standard 4-inch stainless basket strainer, schedule 40 PVC, 1-½ inch P-trap, reconnect to existing waste line.”
2. The AI engine transcribes and matches each phrase to curated material and task databases updated daily for West Michigan pricing.
3. Labor hours, travel, disposal fees, and contingency margins calculate instantly, producing a transparent estimate you can approve on the spot.
4. Once approved, the same data feeds our scheduling software, so materials arrive when the crew does—no downtime, no surprises.

• Removal of a corroded 1970s cast brass drain
• Installation of a stainless basket strainer and schedule 40 PVC P-trap
• Minor cabinet floor patch with moisture-resistant plywood
Total estimate time: 2 minutes 37 seconds. Material delivery was scheduled for the next morning, and the project wrapped in under three hours. The Olsens accessed before-and-after photos through their secure CountBricks portal and left a five-star review citing “flawless communication and zero surprises.”
1. Hard water accelerates mineral buildup—flush drains monthly with a 1:1 vinegar-hot water solution.
2. Schedule winterization checkups; freeze-thaw cycles can loosen threaded drain connections.
3. Upgrade to a snap-in stainless basket if you regularly use garbage disposals; it resists vibration fatigue.
