Never Fall Complete Sink Repair system

> 3 dayMy sink collapsed from the weight of a bowl of water!? Didn’t know that was possible. Suspended by epoxy resin from the granite countertop, I was actually shocked that it didn’t happen sooner once I saw what was holding it up: essentially a couple beads of epoxy resin. Following my tradition of overstructuring anything I DIY, I installed 2 on each side of the sink. That also provided me the maximum flexibility of being able to support the sink from asymmetric points. Otherwise, I would have take all of the plumbing out, including the garbage disposal and the water filtering system, just to get a clean access. If you are like me, and would rather lift everything as the video describes, your biggest challenge will be to drill the supporting screws before tightening the turnbuckles and restoring all of the sink and hookups to its prior position. BTW, that actually works. I was skeptical. For that reason the adhesive backing feature is a God send, since it supports the brackets before you can get the screws in. Get it level as possible once you stick it into position. As far as screwing the brackets to the side of the cabinet walls, one should use a flexible drill bit. There just isn’t any room under there. Despite the flexible drill bit, I still had to install half of screws blind or by feel. To that end, I recommend drilling pilot holes first, then the screws. It’s so much easier since drilling at bend will reduce the force you can apply. If you’re unsure where to put the brackets, just tighten the turnbuckle when you open the package just to see what the maximum lift distance is, and you’ll get a feel for what you have to work with. Account for the fact that brackets will support the sink at angles. The turnbuckle only will give you about 3 inches or so to lift the sink. Position the sink first. To achieve this, I just propped the sink up with a bucket and a couple pieces of wood from the bottom of the garbage disposal until about a 2-3 inch clearance existed between the bottom of the countertop and the top of the sink. Attaching the brackets with the screws is the most time consuming part, otherwise everything went as planned or as the video shows. The next most time-consuming part is removing the previous calk to create new clean surface to calk. Calk and then lift the sink as evenly as possible by turning each of turnbuckles counterclockwise until the sink and it’s attachments are back into position. Weird as it seems, the plumbing will actually help, since it “wants” to be in its previous position. Given these caveats, the product works great and is an improvement over what was there. I’m pretty sure I can stand in the sink if it we’re not for fear of denting the stainless steel.

Greater than one weekThis product is wonderfully designed. My undermount stainlesss sink had seperated from the countertop. Other people had added bracing and use silicone adhesive but all had failed and it was a mess. I spent quite a bit of time removing all of the residue from the previous fixes and then permanently fixed it with the Never Fail system. Very easy to install and well designed, very sturdy. A+

Greater than one weekI really cant believe that the original undermount sink was installed in my house with shims and glue holding it up. Three of the four glued on shims had failed and my sink was sagging on two sides. Attaching these made it look better than new again! Dont forget to get the correct silicone caulk for stainless steel sinks. Put the caulk in first and then tighten these up for a great seal as well as a great look!

> 3 dayWhen I noted that the glue holding the under sink had separated from the counter, I thought that I would have a difficult job on my hand to make it right again. Until I was told about these sink repair devices. Upon looking at the items, I knew that they would do the job for me and it was a no brainier to get sink repair system. It only took some new adhesive, a drill/screwdriver and a steady hand to place the item in place. A few hours for the adhesive to dry and the sink is better than new. I would recommend this to anyone in a similar situation.

> 3 dayWe have an under-counter stainless sink with granite countertops. Our builder used some kind of cardboard and glue tabs to hold the sink on. Well, that lasted about 5 years. This worked perfectly to lift up the sink back in place. Install: it was not hard but a little messy and time consuming for the home DIYer. Once you remove the sink you need to really clean up the sink top and under-counter area. I did this with a scraper and steel wool. Installing the hardware was simple a few measurements and fit checks were all it took. You do want a partner in this endeavor to help hold and align the sink with the counter. There are a few good YouTube videos showing installation.

> 3 dayMy wide double undermount sink, held up by TWO (2) clips total (!!) glued to the granite, one on either side, was sagging badly in the middle. This would have been the second time I needed to replace the separating caulk in 2 years. So instead I ripped out the old caulk, put one of these babies at the back and front to support the middle, and slapped some more silicone in the now perfectly even gap! ^_^ It does what it says!! Due to an extra bit of 2x4 or maybe 1x4 (idk, do I sound like I know what Im talking about?) inside my sink cabinet, probably the Y2K custom carpentry contractor special, I wasnt able to use the cute little ratchet support. But never fear, one of the long boys works just as well and is practically invisible unless you stick your head into the cabinet. Thanks for replenishing my faith in humanity and myself with this awesomely sturdy product!! Now to figure out what to do with the remaining brackets (can I send em back to you?) -A New Fan

> 3 dayMy SS sink was falling out of the quartz countertop, in a one year old home. I was NOT happy. I found these, and they looked like the perfect solution. They installed very easily, and are very sturdy. My only problem was that the sink wanted to slip out of place, until the silicone set up—so I had to hold the sink in position for an hour. I don’t fault the supports. Silicone is really slippery when it’s wet. Just be aware.

> 3 dayMy granite installer did a less than stellar job installing my sink - they used about 50 pieces of small granite with epoxy around the whole sink. About a month ago, we noticed these small granite pieces falling down and the back of the sink dropped causing water to leak into the cabinet. I stumbled onto the Never Fall system while looking for a way to repair this issue. Well packaged and easy to read instructions led to about a 15 minute install of the two brackets. It took me longer to scrape the old caulk out from between the sink and granite. I made sure to put a bit more new caulk than necessary between the sink and granite, and have had zero leaks since. Once the other side of the sink starts to fall, I’ll order another set. Great product!!
