Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Elk Grove Village
We install kitchen faucets in Elk Grove Village: the old one off, seized shut-off valves replaced when needed, the new faucet mounted to fit your sink holes and every supply connection checked under pressure.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
We match the faucet to what's there: one hole, three holes or an undermount counter we can core-drill.
Spout too short or too low
A low spout makes it hard to fill stockpots and leaves water splashing at the back. A high-arc or pull-down faucet gives more room.
Low flow or a sputtering spout
Before you replace a faucet for low pressure, we check the aerator, the cartridge and the shut-off valves. Often one of them is the cause.
Old two-handle faucet with a side sprayer
Separate hot and cold handles and a side sprayer that leaks are a common reason to upgrade. A single-handle pull-down does both jobs in one.
Drip from the spout that won't stop
A steady drip with the handle off means the cartridge or valve seat is worn. We swap the cartridge when it's available, or replace the faucet.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
Faucet swaps often stop at the valves: old multi-turn stops seize or leak when turned. We replace them with quarter-turn valves.
Leak under the sink at the faucet lines
If the faucet looks fine on top but the cabinet is wet, check the lines under it. Worn supply hoses and spray hoses are common culprits.

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
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.
Can you add a filtered-water faucet?
Yes, through a spare hole or a newly drilled one, paired with a carbon or reverse osmosis system.
Are touchless faucets worth it?
Many owners like them. Expect to change batteries or use a plug-in adapter, and know there's a manual mode too.
Should I replace the shut-off valves too?
If they are old multi-turn valves or won't close fully, yes. It's easiest while the faucet is already off.
Why is my faucet leaking from the base?
The O-rings around the spout have worn. Rebuilding is possible on some faucets; on older ones, replacement is often better.
Is Elk Grove Village water hard, and does it matter for faucet installation?
Elk Grove Village's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased through JAWA (Joint Action Water Agency). Aerators and cartridges scale faster with harder water.
Do you work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
