Metal Rod Rusting Issue in Granite Countertop

This “before” image highlights a common structural failure in granite countertops: a significant crack running along the narrow front edge of a kitchen sink. The source of the damage is clearly visible as a severely rusted and expanded metal rod embedded within the stone. This oxidation process creates internal pressure that eventually forces the granite to split.

The countertop area is shown prepped for repair with protective masking tape and plastic sheeting to safeguard the surrounding cabinetry. This stage of the process involves detaching the broken granite piece to gain full access to the failing internal support. By documenting the rusted rod before its removal, we demonstrate the importance of a “Full Repair” over a simple cosmetic fix, ensuring the structural issue is addressed rather than just hidden.
