Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Glendale Heights
A kitchen faucet swap is quick when the valves turn, the holes match and the old nuts come loose. In Glendale Heights our licensed plumbers handle the cases where they don't, and leave you with a faucet that doesn't drip at the base.
Spout too short or too low
If big pots don't fit under the faucet, a taller spout fixes it. We check that it clears the window sill or the cabinets above.
Pull-down sprayer that won't retract
If the spray head won't dock, the weight on the hose may have slipped or the hose is rubbing on the disposal or drain. We reset it.
Faucet leaking from the base
A puddle at the foot of the faucet each time you use it comes from the spout seals. We rebuild it if parts exist, or install a new one.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
A single-hole faucet on a three-hole sink needs a deck plate. A widespread faucet needs three holes, which we can drill in stone counters.
Leak under the sink at the faucet lines
Drips under the sink near the faucet shank point to a loose connection or a split hose. We redo the supply side and test it.
Low flow or a sputtering spout
Weak flow at the kitchen faucet while other taps are fine is often a clogged aerator or a scaled spray head. We clean or replace them first.
Leaking from the handle
A handle that weeps while you run water has a failed seal under it. We open it up and tell you whether a part solves it.
