Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Itasca
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 Itasca and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
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 →Disposal humming, jammed or dead
A disposal that hums but won't spin is usually jammed; one that does nothing may have tripped its reset. We free it, and if the motor or seals are done, we replace it.
Garbage Disposal Installation & 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 →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 →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
If the bottom of the sink base is damp or swollen, something above it is dripping. We dry it out, trace the leak and repair the fitting or part that failed.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →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 →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.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Itasca homeowners
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.
Do I need a licensed plumber for kitchen plumbing in Illinois?
Illinois requires plumbing to be done by state-licensed plumbers. A simple fixture swap rarely needs a permit, but new lines and relocations usually do, and we handle that.
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
Yes. We repair and replace traps, drain arms, supply lines and valves, and the run inside the wall when it needs it.
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.
What should I do first when the sink is leaking?
Turn off the two valves in the cabinet. If they won't close, shut the main water valve and call us.
Can you do kitchen plumbing job in an Itasca condo?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Itasca water: how does it affect kitchen plumbing job?
Itasca's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased via the DuPage Water Commission (from the City of Chicago); two emergency backup wells not in use. We plan fittings and filters around it.

Plumbing contractors must hold a State plumbing license (055 and 058) and provide a signed letter of intent from the plumber of record for each permit, plus a copy of the signed proposal. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Does Itasca have lead service lines?
Village has developed a service line material inventory; copy available from the Water/Sewer Department (itasca.com/2033). A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
