Scale on the aerator from lake water
Treated Lake Michigan water still leaves some mineral scale in aerators and spray heads over time. Cleaning them restores the spray pattern.

Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Hanover Park
A kitchen faucet swap is quick when the valves turn, the holes match and the old nuts come loose. In Hanover Park our licensed plumbers handle the cases where they don't, and leave you with a faucet that doesn't drip at the base.
Hard well water wearing out faucets
On well water, mineral buildup shortens faucet life. We suggest models with serviceable cartridges and talk about softening if the scale is heavy.
Old two-handle faucet with a side sprayer
Separate hot and cold handles and a side sprayer that leaks are a common reason to upgrade. A single-handle pull-down does both jobs in one.
Wanting a touchless faucet
Hands-free faucets have a sensor, a solenoid valve and a battery pack or outlet connection. We mount it all where it's reachable for service.
Faucet loose or wobbling on the sink
Wobbly faucets loosen further over time and start leaking at the deck. A proper re-mount fixes it.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
If the valves under the sink are stuck, we shut the water elsewhere and install new ones before connecting the faucet.
Spout too short or too low
Spout height and reach matter as much as style. We match the faucet to your sink size so water lands in the center of the bowl.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
Sinks and counters have one to four holes. A deck plate covers unused holes, or they can hold a soap dispenser, side sprayer or filtered-water tap.

- Check the sink and suppliesA check of the sink holes, shut-offs and clearances so the faucet fits.

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Hanover Park homeowners
My new faucet doesn't fit my sink holes. What now?
Mismatched holes are common and easy to solve with a deck plate, accessories or a new hole.
What does a faucet installation cost?
We price it after a look at the setup, and it comes in writing.
How long does it take to install a kitchen faucet?
Most installs take a couple of hours from shut-off to final test.
Pull-down or pull-out: which should I choose?
Pull-down suits deep sinks and tall clearance; pull-out works better under low cabinets or a window.
Can you add a filtered-water faucet?
Yes, through a spare hole or a newly drilled one, paired with a carbon or reverse osmosis system.
Does faucet installation need a Hanover Park building permit, and who files it?
Permits go through Inspectional Services Division (Hanover Park Fire Department), phone 630-823-5860. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Hanover Park water: how does it affect faucet installation?
Hanover Park's water source: 100 percent Lake Michigan water, treated by City of Chicago; four emergency groundwater wells (not used for supply in 2022). Aerators and cartridges scale faster with harder water.
Hanover Park contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
All contractors must be registered and bonded with the Village before a building permit is issued; apply via Inspectional Services. We take care of that before work starts.
Do you work in my part of Hanover Park?
Yes. Our crews work across Hanover Park, including Ontarioville — ZIP 60133 — and nearby Bartlett, Roselle, Bloomingdale.
