Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Hanover Park
Most kitchen plumbing lives in one cabinet: two supply valves, a trap, a disposal and the dishwasher hose. In Hanover Park our licensed plumbers repair and replace everything in that space, and move or add lines when the layout changes.
Disposal humming, jammed or dead
Disposals stop for a few common reasons: a jam, a tripped overload or a worn-out motor. We sort out which and repair or swap the unit.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Old sink you want gone
A worn sink is easy to live with until it isn't. We swap it for a new bowl that fits the counter and connect the drain, disposal and faucet.
Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement →Tap water you don't like to drink
Chlorine taste, hard-water spots or worries about old pipes are common reasons for a filter at the sink. We install carbon and reverse osmosis systems.
Under-Sink Water Filtration →Shut-off valves that won't close
Stuck or weeping stop valves are a small part with a big job. New quarter-turn valves let you shut off the sink in a second.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
Moving the sink means new drain, vent and supply lines, and usually a village permit. Our licensed plumbers plan the route and do the work.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Leak after someone else's install
A new sink or faucet that has dripped since day one usually has a cross-threaded nut, a missing washer or a trap set at the wrong angle. We redo the connection.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →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 Hanover Park homeowners
What should I do first when the sink is leaking?
Stop the water at the sink valves or the main, dry the cabinet and avoid running the dishwasher or disposal.
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.
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.
Is it worth calling a plumber for a slow drain?
A one-time slow drain may clear with a plunger. One that keeps returning needs the line cleaned, not more drain chemicals.
Should I repair or replace my faucet or disposal?
Repair when the unit is fairly new and the problem is one part. Replace when it's old, leaking from the body or keeps failing.
Is Hanover Park water hard, and does it matter for kitchen plumbing job?
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). We plan fittings and filters around it.
Hanover Park building permit for kitchen plumbing job: where do I apply?
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 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.

Yes. Our crews work across Hanover Park, including Ontarioville — ZIP 60133 — and nearby Bartlett, Roselle, Bloomingdale.
