Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Lombard
We are kitchen plumbers. In Lombard 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.
Dishwasher hose and drain set up wrong
Dishwasher drains need protection against backflow. We set the hose and fittings so wastewater can't run back into the tub.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Old sink you want gone
Chipped porcelain, a stained double bowl or a rim that collects grime: we pull the old sink, prepare the opening and set a new one with the plumbing reconnected.
Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
A wet cabinet floor usually traces back to a loose slip nut on the trap, a worn basket strainer or a supply line that has started to weep. We find the source and fix it.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Tap water you don't like to drink
Filtration at the kitchen sink is a plumbing job too: a supply connection, a dedicated faucet and, for reverse osmosis, a drain hookup.
Under-Sink Water Filtration →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 →Basket strainer leaking at the sink
A drip right below the drain opening usually means the putty or gasket under the basket strainer has given up. We reset or replace the strainer.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Sink that drains slowly or backs up
Water that sits in one bowl or rises in the other side when the disposal runs points to a blockage in the shared drain. We clear it properly instead of pouring chemicals on it.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Lombard homeowners
My home may have a lead service line. What should I do in the kitchen?
Check your utility's service line inventory and use cold, flushed water for drinking and cooking. A filter certified for lead at the kitchen tap is a sensible step until the line is replaced.
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.
What does kitchen plumbing work cost?
A valve swap and a sink relocation are very different jobs. After we see the plumbing, you get a line-item price in writing.
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.
Is it worth calling a plumber for a slow drain?
When the sink backs up repeatedly or both bowls are affected, call us. The blockage is usually past the trap.

Lombard's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased from the DuPage Water Commission (via City of Chicago Jardine plant); reported hardness is Lake Michigan water via DuPage Water Commission; regional hardness about 8 grains per gallon (137 mg/L as CaCO3). We plan fittings and filters around it.

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.
