Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Elk Grove Village
Most kitchen plumbing lives in one cabinet: two supply valves, a trap, a disposal and the dishwasher hose. In Elk Grove Village our licensed plumbers repair and replace everything in that space, and move or add lines when the layout changes.
Tap water you don't like to drink
Filtration at the kitchen sink is a plumbing job too: a supply connection, a dedicated faucet and, for reverse osmosis, a drain hookup.
Under-Sink Water Filtration →Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
Two-handle faucets with a separate sprayer are a common upgrade to a single-handle pull-down or a touchless model. We fit it to your sink holes and supplies.
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 →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.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Basket strainer leaking at the sink
When the leak starts at the bottom of the bowl, not at the trap, the sink strainer seal is the likely culprit. A new strainer, bedded properly, ends it.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Shut-off valves that won't close
Old multi-turn valves under the sink often seize or drip when you finally need them. We replace them with quarter-turn valves and new braided supply lines.
Appliance Water Line Installation →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 Plumbing Services questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
Do you also work on water heaters, sump pumps or bathrooms?
Kitchens are what we do. If you have another plumbing need, mention it when you call.
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.
What causes a leak under the kitchen sink?
Loose or worn joints in the drain, a failed strainer gasket, a leaking disposal or a weeping supply line cause almost all of them.
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.
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.
