Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Naperville
A kitchen faucet swap is quick when the valves turn, the holes match and the old nuts come loose. In Naperville 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 Naperville lists your line as lead, a new faucet plus a filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step for drinking water.
Spout too short or too low
A low spout makes it hard to fill stockpots and leaves water splashing at the back. A high-arc or pull-down faucet gives more room.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
Seized stops are the most common surprise on a faucet job. New quarter-turn valves make the next repair easy.
Leak under the sink at the faucet lines
If the faucet looks fine on top but the cabinet is wet, check the lines under it. Worn supply hoses and spray hoses are common culprits.
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.
Faucet loose or wobbling on the sink
Wobbly faucets loosen further over time and start leaking at the deck. A proper re-mount fixes it.
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.

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Naperville homeowners
Do I need a plumber to install a faucet?
A faucet swap is plumbing work. Our licensed plumbers handle it, including the valves and supply lines that often need replacing.
How long does it take to install a kitchen faucet?
A straightforward swap is usually done in a short visit; touchless models and valve replacement take a little longer.
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.
Repair or replace a dripping faucet?
A new cartridge fixes many drips on a good faucet. Builder-grade and older faucets are usually better replaced.
What does a faucet installation cost?
The faucet type, the condition of the valves and lines and any drilling decide it. We give a written, itemized estimate after we see the sink.
Naperville building permit for faucet installation: where do I apply?
Permits go through Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group, Building Permits, phone (630) 420-6100, Option 2. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
