Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Mount Prospect
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 Mount Prospect and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
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 →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 →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 →Sink that drains slowly or backs up
Grease and food build up in the trap and the line behind the wall. We clear the clog and look at why it keeps coming back.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning →Dishwasher hose and drain set up wrong
If the dishwasher smells or holds gray water, its drain connection may be the cause. We fix the hookup at the disposal or the sink tailpiece.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
An island sink is very doable, but the drain needs a path and proper venting. We look at the floor, the basement or crawlspace and the layout first.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Shut-off valves that won't close
Old multi-turn valves under the sink often seize or drip when you finally need them. We replace them with quarter-turn valves and new braided supply lines.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Mount Prospect homeowners
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.
Why does my sink back up when the dishwasher runs?
Shared drain, partial clog. The dishwasher pushes water faster than a choked line can carry it, so it rises in the bowl.
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
Yes. The pipes in the sink cabinet and the lines feeding it are kitchen plumbing, and we handle them.
Do you also work on water heaters, sump pumps or bathrooms?
Kitchens are what we do. If you have another plumbing need, mention it when you call.
Will I need a permit?
It depends on the work. Repairs and swaps typically don't; new or moved plumbing typically does, and we handle the application.
Do I need a Mount Prospect-registered contractor for kitchen plumbing job?
A Contractor's License is required for general contractors (and listed trades); $200, valid one year, applied for through the online portal. We take care of that before work starts.

Village has completed its required lead service line inventory, available on the Village website (2025 report). A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
