Dear friends, do you know how to remove granite countertops safely in the daily life? As we know, granite countertop are a beautiful addition to your kitchen. However, if you want to change your countertop, you need to take care to remove the countertop safely. If you want to reuse your granite countertop in your new kitchen or donate the granite slab to charity, take care not to damage the granite countertop as you remove it from your kitchen. You will require several people to help you because granite slabs are so heavy. Instructions as follows: Firstly, remove the sink from your granite countertop. Disconnect the plumbing under the sink and then determine how the sink is secured to the countertop. If it's glued to the countertop, slide a putty knife between the edge of the sink and the countertop to break the glue loose. If it's screwed to the countertop, loosen the screws with a drill. Pull the sink up and out of your granite countertop. Secondly, check underneath your countertop to see if there are screws that attach the granite countertop to the kitchen cabinet. Remove all of these screws to remove the countertop safely. Thirdly, run a utility knife along the bead of caulk that seals the granite countertop to your backsplash when you try to remove the granite countertop. This helps ensure that when you remove the granite countertop, you won't pull the backsplash down with it. Fourthly, use a pry bar, placed between your granite countertop and your kitchen cabinet, to help you lift the granite slab. If there is glue holding your granite countertop to your kitchen cabinet, cut it with your utility knife and use your putty knife to help break the glue free. Fifthly, encourage your assistants to each work with a section of granite countertop to slide it off the kitchen cabinet. Gently carry it to its designated location outside your kitchen. Have a place ready to place your granite countertop so it doesn't break when you set it down. Tips & Warnings Clear off your granite countertop before you try to remove it. Any appliances, canisters or utensils sitting out on your countertop will be in the way when you try to remove the countertop. If you have a dishwasher or a trash compactor, make sure you loosen the screws that attach those appliances to your granite countertop before you pull the countertop off the cabinet.
