Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Aurora
A drip under the sink, a drain that backs up, a faucet you're tired of or a remodel that moves the sink: each is a different job. We take on all of them in Aurora and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
Leak after someone else's install
DIY and big-box installs sometimes leave flexible accordion drains or loose fittings. We rebuild the drain the right way.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Faucet dripping or leaking at the base
A drip from the spout or water pooling around the base means a worn cartridge or O-rings. Some faucets are worth repairing; tired ones are better replaced.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Ice maker or dishwasher needs a water line
A new refrigerator with an ice maker or a dishwasher in a new spot needs a proper supply line and valve. We run it and connect the appliance.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
Moving the sink means new drain, vent and supply lines, and usually a village permit. Our licensed plumbers plan the route and do the work.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
Puddles under the sink come from a short list of places: the trap, the strainer, the disposal or the supply side. A visit pins down which one and stops it.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Tap water you don't like to drink
Filtration at the kitchen sink is a plumbing job too: a supply connection, a dedicated faucet and, for reverse osmosis, a drain hookup.
Under-Sink Water Filtration →Disposal humming, jammed or dead
A disposal that hums but won't spin is usually jammed; one that does nothing may have tripped its reset. We free it, and if the motor or seals are done, we replace it.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Aurora homeowners
My home may have a lead service line. What should I do in the kitchen?
Check your utility's service line inventory and use cold, flushed water for drinking and cooking. A filter certified for lead at the kitchen tap is a sensible step until the line is replaced.
Do you also work on water heaters, sump pumps or bathrooms?
We concentrate on the kitchen: sinks, faucets, disposals, drains and appliance lines.
Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?
Yes, kitchen sinks are a core part of our work: the drain, the supply, the faucet and the bowl itself.
Is it worth calling a plumber for a slow drain?
A one-time slow drain may clear with a plunger. One that keeps returning needs the line cleaned, not more drain chemicals.
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
Yes. The pipes in the sink cabinet and the lines feeding it are kitchen plumbing, and we handle them.
Aurora building permit for kitchen plumbing job: where do I apply?
Permits go through Division of Building and Permits, City of Aurora, phone (630) 256-3130. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Aurora water: how does it affect kitchen plumbing job?
Aurora's water source: Fox River surface water plus deep and shallow wells (about 60% surface / 40% well, varies); reported hardness is 7 to 8 grains per gallon (120-137 mg/L). We plan fittings and filters around it.
Do I need a Aurora-registered contractor for kitchen plumbing job?
Contractors must be registered/licensed with the City (application, required testing if applicable, proof of insurance naming the City as additional insured). Homeowners may act as own contractor if owner-occupied 6+ months with a Homeowner Liability Waiver. We take care of that before work starts.
What is Aurora doing about lead water lines?
About 16,200 lead service lines; City submitted its service line material inventory to Illinois EPA. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Does Aurora require a licensed plumber for kitchen plumbing job?
Interior plumbing work requires a permit. The City pages do not state plumber licensing rules (Illinois state license applies). Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Do I need a permit for kitchen plumbing job in Aurora?
