Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Batavia
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 Batavia and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
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 →Tap water you don't like to drink
If you buy bottled water because the tap tastes off, an under-sink filter with its own faucet is a simple fix.
Under-Sink Water Filtration →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
When a remodel moves the sink, the plumbing has to follow. We rough in the new lines, pull the permit when it is needed and connect the fixtures.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
If the old faucet works but is hard to use, a pull-down spout and a single lever make a real difference. We handle the swap and the shut-offs.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →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 →Faucet dripping or leaking at the base
Leaks at the handle, the spout or under the deck have different causes. We tell you whether a cartridge fixes it or a new faucet makes more sense.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Gurgling or smell from the drain
Gurgling as the sink empties, or a sewer smell from the cabinet, can mean a dry or wrong trap, a loose connection or a venting problem. We check each.
