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 plumbing problems we fix in Glenview
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 Glenview and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
Sink that drains slowly or backs up
A slow kitchen drain is rarely a mystery. The trap, the arm into the wall or the branch line is choked, and we open whichever one it is.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning →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 →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 →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
When a remodel moves the sink, the plumbing has to follow. We rough in the new lines, pull the permit when it is needed and connect the fixtures.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
Puddles under the sink come from a short list of places: the trap, the strainer, the disposal or the supply side. A visit pins down which one and stops it.
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 →Leak after someone else's install
If a recent install keeps leaking, we take apart the joint, replace the parts that were damaged and reconnect it correctly.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Glenview homeowners
How long does a typical kitchen plumbing repair take?
Small repairs often take an hour or two; replacing a sink with its connections can fill a good part of a day.
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 should I do first when the sink is leaking?
Close the shut-off valves under the sink, put a pan under the drip and stop using the sink until it's fixed.
Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?
Of course. Whether the sink drips, drains slowly or needs replacing, it's a plumbing call.
Why does my sink back up when the dishwasher runs?
The dishwasher drains through the same line as the sink. If that line or the disposal is partly clogged, the water comes up in the sink.
