Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Geneva
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 Geneva and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
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 →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
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 →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.
Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement →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 →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 →Gurgling or smell from the drain
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 Geneva homeowners
My home may have a lead service line. What should I do in the kitchen?
Check your utility's service line inventory and use cold, flushed water for drinking and cooking. A filter certified for lead at the kitchen tap is a sensible step until the line is replaced.
How long does a typical kitchen plumbing repair take?
Most valve, trap, faucet and disposal jobs take a few hours. Relocations and new lines take longer and may wait on an inspection.
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.
What does kitchen plumbing work cost?
It depends on the job, the parts and how accessible the pipes are. We give a written, itemized estimate after the visit.
Do I need a licensed plumber for kitchen plumbing in Illinois?
Plumbing work in Illinois is done by plumbers licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and new or moved lines usually need a village permit. Our licensed plumbers make the connections.
Geneva plumbing code: who can do the plumbing for kitchen plumbing job?
Homeowner may do own plumbing only if owner-occupied; otherwise an Illinois licensed plumber with Letter of Intent, plumbing license and state contractor license. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Geneva contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
None: the City does not have contractor registration (contractor name, address, phone and license numbers if required go on the application). We take care of that before work starts.
Does Geneva have lead service lines?
The City has a 15-year program to replace all lead and galvanized service lines and publishes a service line inventory. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
