Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Berwyn
We are kitchen plumbers. In Berwyn 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.
Basket strainer leaking at the sink
Strainers loosen and their seals harden over the years. We take the old one out, clean the opening and install a new one tight.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →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 →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
When a faucet drips no matter how hard you turn the handle, its internal seal is worn. We repair it or install a new one the same visit when we can.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Ice maker or dishwasher needs a water line
If the fridge has no water line, or the dishwasher hookup is too short, we add the line and the shut-off and test it under pressure.
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.

Drain odor in the kitchen usually comes from a trap that isn't sealing or food sitting in the line. We find which and fix it.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Berwyn homeowners
Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?
Of course. Whether the sink drips, drains slowly or needs replacing, it's a plumbing call.
What should I do first when the sink is leaking?
Turn off the two valves in the cabinet. If they won't close, shut the main water valve and call us.
Will I need a permit?
Like-for-like replacements rarely need one. New supply or drain lines and relocations usually do.
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.
Do I need a licensed plumber for kitchen plumbing in Illinois?
Illinois requires plumbing to be done by state-licensed plumbers. A simple fixture swap rarely needs a permit, but new lines and relocations usually do, and we handle that.

City states it has identified lead service lines; inventory posted on water department page. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
