The video shows firsthand how plumbers putty can break down over a short period of time and cause leaks at connecions that need to stay waterproof. Putty can also cause problems with synthetic marble or granite, plastic or composite whereby the oil base of plumbers putty can slowly leach into the sink’s surface and cause issues with staining or material breakdown.

Often, plumbers will recommend a “new” type of plumbers putty that is not damaging to the above type of sinks. Too often with both products, the material hardens over a short time and does not perform the function that the product should provide, at least as long as the disposal/strainer or any other type of installation is involved.

For some areas across the nation and the globe, plumbers putty is a code requirement. Proper amounts of putty when used is crucial, most times issues arise from using too much putty which can cause leaks over time.

We welcome any questions or opinions on this video, we are sure that people will argue the benefits of putty as it is a hotly debated topic on plumbing forums across the internet. Dunbar Plumbing for a number of years used plumbers putty but the reasonable choice these days for reliability is silicone sealant. A product that withstands aging quite well and is resistant to water simply by it’s chemical makeup.
