Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Arlington Heights
Most kitchen plumbing lives in one cabinet: two supply valves, a trap, a disposal and the dishwasher hose. In Arlington Heights our licensed plumbers repair and replace everything in that space, and move or add lines when the layout changes.
Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
A new faucet changes how you use the sink every day. We install the one you pick and cover or use the extra holes in the deck.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Shut-off valves that won't close
Old multi-turn valves under the sink often seize or drip when you finally need them. We replace them with quarter-turn valves and new braided supply lines.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Old sink you want gone
Chipped porcelain, a stained double bowl or a rim that collects grime: we pull the old sink, prepare the opening and set a new one with the plumbing reconnected.
Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
An island sink is very doable, but the drain needs a path and proper venting. We look at the floor, the basement or crawlspace and the layout first.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Sink that drains slowly or backs up
Grease and food build up in the trap and the line behind the wall. We clear the clog and look at why it keeps coming back.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning →Dishwasher hose and drain set up wrong
Dishwasher drains need protection against backflow. We set the hose and fittings so wastewater can't run back into the tub.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Ice maker or dishwasher needs a water line
Old self-piercing saddle valves and thin plastic tubing are common leak points. We replace them with a real valve and a sturdy line.
