Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Hoffman Estates
We are kitchen plumbers. In Hoffman Estates homes we swap sinks and faucets, fix and install disposals, clear and repair drains and run new water lines, with every connection made by a licensed plumber.
Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
If the old faucet works but is hard to use, a pull-down spout and a single lever make a real difference. We handle the swap and the shut-offs.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →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 →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 →Faucet dripping or leaking at the base
A drip from the spout or water pooling around the base means a worn cartridge or O-rings. Some faucets are worth repairing; tired ones are better replaced.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →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 →Gurgling or smell from the drain
Gurgling as the sink empties, or a sewer smell from the cabinet, can mean a dry or wrong trap, a loose connection or a venting problem. We check each.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Dishwasher hose and drain set up wrong
A dishwasher drain hose lying flat on the cabinet floor can let dirty sink water flow back into the machine. We route it with a high loop or an air gap, as local code calls for.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Hoffman Estates homeowners
Will I need a permit?
Usually not for swapping a faucet, sink or disposal in place. Adding or moving lines generally needs a village permit, which we take care of.
Do you also work on water heaters, sump pumps or bathrooms?
Our focus is kitchen plumbing. For other parts of the house, ask and we'll tell you whether it is something we take on.
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.
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.
What causes a leak under the kitchen sink?
Most leaks come from a connection: the trap, the strainer, the disposal or a supply hose. Rarely is it the pipe itself.
