Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Bartlett
We are kitchen plumbers. In Bartlett homes we swap sinks and faucets, fix and install disposals, clear and repair drains and run new water lines, with every connection made by a licensed plumber.
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 →Gurgling or smell from the drain
A sink that glugs when it drains is pulling air from somewhere it shouldn't. We look at the trap, the vent path and the connections.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain 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.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Basket strainer leaking at the sink
A drip right below the drain opening usually means the putty or gasket under the basket strainer has given up. We reset or replace the strainer.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
If the bottom of the sink base is damp or swollen, something above it is dripping. We dry it out, trace the leak and repair the fitting or part that failed.
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 →Disposal humming, jammed or dead
Disposals stop for a few common reasons: a jam, a tripped overload or a worn-out motor. We sort out which and repair or swap the unit.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Bartlett homeowners
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
We work on everything from the shut-off valves to the drain connection in the wall, and beyond when the problem goes further.
Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?
Yes. Leaks, clogs, worn strainers, failing valves and a new sink or faucet are all standard plumbing work.
What causes a leak under the kitchen sink?
The usual suspects are the trap's slip nuts, the basket strainer seal, the disposal flange or seals, and the supply lines or valves.
Should I repair or replace my faucet or disposal?
A worn cartridge or a jam is a repair. A corroded faucet body or a disposal leaking from its housing is a replacement.
Why does my sink back up when the dishwasher runs?
Usually a blockage in the drain the two share, or a disposal that hasn't cleared. We clear the line and check the hookup.

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.

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.
