Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Lombard
A kitchen faucet swap is quick when the valves turn, the holes match and the old nuts come loose. In Lombard our licensed plumbers handle the cases where they don't, and leave you with a faucet that doesn't drip at the base.
Worried about lead at the kitchen tap
If Lombard lists your line as lead, a new faucet plus a filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step for drinking water.
Drip from the spout that won't stop
If the spout drips day and night, the seal inside the valve has worn. We repair it or put in a new faucet.
Low flow or a sputtering spout
Before you replace a faucet for low pressure, we check the aerator, the cartridge and the shut-off valves. Often one of them is the cause.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
A single-hole faucet on a three-hole sink needs a deck plate. A widespread faucet needs three holes, which we can drill in stone counters.
Faucet loose or wobbling on the sink
If the faucet turns or tilts when you push the handle, the nut below has backed off. We secure it from inside the cabinet.
Wanting a touchless faucet
Touchless faucets need power under the sink, either batteries or a plug-in adapter. We plan the control box and its power when we install.
Leaking from the handle
Leaks at the lever come from the valve inside the body. We replace the cartridge or the whole faucet, depending on its age.
What we hook up and check

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Lombard homeowners
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?
If there's room above the sink, a pull-down. If space is tight, a pull-out.
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.
Should I replace the shut-off valves too?
If they are old multi-turn valves or won't close fully, yes. It's easiest while the faucet is already off.
Why is my faucet leaking from the base?
Worn spout seals. We tell you if a repair kit fixes it or if a new faucet is the better buy.
Does Lombard require a licensed plumber for faucet installation?
Registration requires a copy of a current State of Illinois Department of Public Health plumbing registration. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Do Lombard condo associations need to approve faucet installation?
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.
What is the Lombard building department phone number?
Permits go through Building Division, Community Development and Building, phone (630) 620-5750. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Lombard contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register with the Village: $100 fee, valid 1 year, online or via Building Division; insurance certificate with at least $300,000 liability coverage. We take care of that before work starts.
What is Lombard doing about lead water lines?
Village has a Lead Water Service Replacement Plan and service line map; Village replaces main-to-curb-stop portion at no cost and offers reimbursement for the private portion. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Do I need a permit for faucet installation in Lombard?
It depends on the scope. Lombard's rule in short: Village requires a building permit for new structures and updates to existing structures; replacing interior doors and fixtures at the same size with no structural change needs no permit. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division, Community Development and Building.

Yes. Our crews work across Lombard — ZIP 60148 — and nearby Villa Park, Glen Ellyn, Addison.
