Sink Rail Crack Repair

A common issue with natural stone, the thin areas in front and back of the sink have rods embedded in the stone to help prevent cracking during transportation and installation. Unfortunately, over time, if the stone is not sealed regularly, it will take on moisture. As this moisture wicks into the stone, it causes the metal rod to rust. As the rod rust, it pulls the stone apart, creating the crack you see on the surface. This can be a frustrating and surprising occurrence.
