Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Glen Ellyn
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 Glen Ellyn and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
A new faucet changes how you use the sink every day. We install the one you pick and cover or use the extra holes in the deck.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
A wet cabinet floor usually traces back to a loose slip nut on the trap, a worn basket strainer or a supply line that has started to weep. We find the source and fix it.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
An island sink is very doable, but the drain needs a path and proper venting. We look at the floor, the basement or crawlspace and the layout first.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Basket strainer leaking at the sink
A drip right below the drain opening usually means the putty or gasket under the basket strainer has given up. We reset or replace the strainer.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Disposal humming, jammed or dead
Humming means power is getting there but the plate can't turn. We clear the jam and test it, and tell you when the unit isn't worth saving.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Gurgling or smell from the drain
A sink that glugs when it drains is pulling air from somewhere it shouldn't. We look at the trap, the vent path and the connections.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Shut-off valves that won't close
If the valves under your sink are crusted or won't turn, a repair turns into a whole-house shutdown. We change them before that happens.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Glen Ellyn homeowners
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?
A valve swap and a sink relocation are very different jobs. After we see the plumbing, you get a line-item price in writing.
Is it worth calling a plumber for a slow drain?
If plunging doesn't help or the drain slows again within weeks, yes. Repeated clogs mean something is building up deeper in the line.
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.
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
Yes. We repair and replace traps, drain arms, supply lines and valves, and the run inside the wall when it needs it.
Glen Ellyn water: how does it affect kitchen plumbing job?
Glen Ellyn's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased from the DuPage Water Commission (supplied via the City of Chicago). We plan fittings and filters around it.
Glen Ellyn contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register with the Village and meet license and insurance requirements (Village Code 4-1-11); work that does not need a building permit is exempt. We take care of that before work starts.
What is Glen Ellyn doing about lead water lines?
Village is building a lead service line inventory with resident self-reports and a public Lead Service Inventory Dashboard; counts not retrieved. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Do you work in my part of Glen Ellyn?
Yes. Our crews work across Glen Ellyn — ZIP 60137 — and nearby Wheaton, Lombard, Glendale Heights.
