Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Plainfield
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 Plainfield and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
Disposal humming, jammed or dead
Disposals stop for a few common reasons: a jam, a tripped overload or a worn-out motor. We sort out which and repair or swap the unit.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Old sink you want gone
A worn sink is easy to live with until it isn't. We swap it for a new bowl that fits the counter and connect the drain, disposal and faucet.
Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement →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 →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 →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 →Gurgling or smell from the drain
Drain odor in the kitchen usually comes from a trap that isn't sealing or food sitting in the line. We find which and fix it.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Faucet dripping or leaking at the base
When a faucet drips no matter how hard you turn the handle, its internal seal is worn. We repair it or install a new one the same visit when we can.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Plainfield homeowners
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.
How long does a typical kitchen plumbing repair take?
Most valve, trap, faucet and disposal jobs take a few hours. Relocations and new lines take longer and may wait on an inspection.
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.
Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?
Yes. Leaks, clogs, worn strainers, failing valves and a new sink or faucet are all standard plumbing work.

Plainfield's water source: Lake Michigan water (since April 2004), supplied via Illinois American Water; three wells kept on standby; reported hardness is 6.3 grains per gallon (village page, undated). We plan fittings and filters around it.
