Scale on the aerator from lake water
White crust on the spray face is mineral buildup. Many Bartlett owners just need the aerator cleaned or swapped, not a new faucet.

Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Bartlett
Whether you picked a pull-down, a touchless or a bridge faucet, we fit it to your sink or counter in Bartlett, cover or reuse the extra holes, and connect it with new supply lines.
Faucet loose or wobbling on the sink
Wobbly faucets loosen further over time and start leaking at the deck. A proper re-mount fixes it.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
Sinks and counters have one to four holes. A deck plate covers unused holes, or they can hold a soap dispenser, side sprayer or filtered-water tap.
Leaking from the handle
Water seeping out around the handle when the faucet runs is a cartridge or stem seal problem. Some brands make it easy to fix; others are cheaper to replace.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
If the valves under the sink are stuck, we shut the water elsewhere and install new ones before connecting the faucet.
Spout too short or too low
Spout height and reach matter as much as style. We match the faucet to your sink size so water lands in the center of the bowl.
Faucet leaking from the base
Water pooling around the base of the spout usually means worn O-rings inside the swivel. On an older faucet, replacement is often the better call.
Low flow or a sputtering spout
A spout that spits or barely runs usually has debris or mineral buildup in the aerator. If cleaning doesn't help, the cartridge or supply valve may be partly blocked.
What the install includes
- Check the sink and suppliesA check of the sink holes, shut-offs and clearances so the faucet fits.
- Shut off and removeThe old faucet and side sprayer taken off without damaging the sink.
- Replace valves when neededNew shut-off valves if the old ones won't close or weep.

DetailBartlett kitchen, two-story colonial from the 1990s: kitchen faucet installation
The site: a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Bartlett. What we started with: white double sink. What bothered the owners most: a faucet too low to fill a stockpot. The result: a new single-handle pull-down faucet with a clean caulk line. On site this meant pull-down hose and weight, extra holes, plus flush and test.

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Bartlett homeowners
Are touchless faucets worth it?
For people who cook a lot, yes: no greasy handles. They need batteries or power under the sink and a little more upkeep.
Can a handyman install a kitchen faucet?
Our faucet installs are done by licensed plumbers, which matters when a valve or supply line turns out to need replacing.
Pull-down or pull-out: which should I choose?
Pull-down suits deep sinks and tall clearance; pull-out works better under low cabinets or a window.
Can you add a filtered-water faucet?
We install filtered-water faucets alongside the main one, connected to an under-sink filter.
Should I replace the shut-off valves too?
Often yes. A new faucet on old valves is the most common setup for a future leak.
Bartlett contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
All contractors must be licensed by the Village of Bartlett (per trade); licensing questions via Main Office 630-837-0800. We take care of that before work starts.
Bartlett building permit for faucet installation: where do I apply?
Permits go through Building Division (Planning & Development Services), phone 630-540-5920. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Is Bartlett water hard, and does it matter for faucet installation?
Bartlett's water source: Lake Michigan water supplied via City of Chicago (surface source). Aerators and cartridges scale faster with harder water.
Does Bartlett have lead service lines?
Village has a Water Inventory page on lead service lines; call Public Works 630-837-0811 to learn pipe material. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Do I need a permit for faucet installation in Bartlett?
It depends on the scope. Bartlett's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction and home improvement projects, whether done by homeowner or contractor; Remodel is a listed permit type. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division (Planning & Development Services).
Do you work in my part of Bartlett?
Yes. Our crews work across Bartlett — ZIP 60103, 60120 — and nearby Hanover Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale.
