Shut-off valves that won't close

Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Park Ridge
Most kitchen plumbing lives in one cabinet: two supply valves, a trap, a disposal and the dishwasher hose. In Park Ridge our licensed plumbers repair and replace everything in that space, and move or add lines when the layout changes.
Leak after someone else's install
A new sink or faucet that has dripped since day one usually has a cross-threaded nut, a missing washer or a trap set at the wrong angle. We redo the connection.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Basket strainer leaking at the sink
Strainers loosen and their seals harden over the years. We take the old one out, clean the opening and install a new one tight.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
Moving the sink means new drain, vent and supply lines, and usually a village permit. Our licensed plumbers plan the route and do the work.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
A new faucet changes how you use the sink every day. We install the one you pick and cover or use the extra holes in the deck.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →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 →Ice maker or dishwasher needs a water line
Old self-piercing saddle valves and thin plastic tubing are common leak points. We replace them with a real valve and a sturdy line.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Gurgling or smell from the drain
A sink that glugs when it drains is pulling air from somewhere it shouldn't. We look at the trap, the vent path and the connections.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Park Ridge 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.
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.
Should I repair or replace my faucet or disposal?
A worn cartridge or a jam is a repair. A corroded faucet body or a disposal leaking from its housing is a replacement.
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
We work on everything from the shut-off valves to the drain connection in the wall, and beyond when the problem goes further.
Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?
Of course. Whether the sink drips, drains slowly or needs replacing, it's a plumbing call.
Do I need a Park Ridge-registered contractor for kitchen plumbing job?
Building contractors must register with the City each calendar year ($50 per firm). We take care of that before work starts.
Park Ridge water: how does it affect kitchen plumbing job?
Park Ridge's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased from the City of Chicago. We plan fittings and filters around it.
What is Park Ridge doing about lead water lines?
Lead service lines are more likely in homes built before 1986; the City runs a lead service line replacement program. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Do I need a permit for kitchen plumbing job in Park Ridge?
It depends on the scope. Park Ridge's rule in short: Park Ridge publishes permit guidelines by project type; contact the Permit Technicians to confirm whether a kitchen project needs a permit. We handle the permit when one is needed.

Yes. Our crews work across Park Ridge — ZIP 60068 — and nearby Des Plaines, Glenview, Skokie.
