Kitchen sink problems we fix in Roselle
We replace kitchen sinks in Roselle homes from removal to the last leak check: the old bowl out, the opening prepared, the new undermount, drop-in or farmhouse sink set and every connection under it made new.
Strainer or drain leaking
Old strainers loosen and their seals dry out. We install new ones and tighten them so the joint stays dry.
Wanting a farmhouse sink
Farmhouse sinks are heavy, especially fireclay and cast iron. We frame a support inside the cabinet, trim the face and set the sink level with the counters.
Drop-in rim that traps grime
A drop-in rim and its yellowing caulk are hard to keep clean. If the counter is stone or quartz, an undermount sink can often replace it.
Sink that drains slowly after replacement
A sink that drains poorly after a DIY swap usually has a trap set too high or a tailpiece forced at an angle. We rebuild the drain.
Undermount sink pulling away from the counter
If the sink has dropped and water runs into the cabinet, it can usually be reattached without replacing the counter. We support it from below and bond it again.
Chipped or stained porcelain sink
When the finish on a cast-iron or porcelain sink is worn through, it won't come back. A new bowl is quicker than chasing repairs.
Old drain parts that won't line up
A new sink often puts the drain in a different spot or depth. We rebuild the trap and tailpieces in new PVC so everything lines up without strain.

Kitchen Sink Installation & Replacement questions from Roselle homeowners
Will Lake Michigan water mark my new sink?
Treated lake water still carries some minerals, so water spots show on dark composite and stainless. Wiping the bowl dry keeps it looking new.
Can you reuse my old faucet and disposal?
If they are in good shape and fit the new sink, yes. Many owners replace the faucet at the same time since it's already off.
Can you install a sink I bought myself?
Of course. Send us the model and we'll confirm the fit and what else is needed.
Can a fallen undermount sink be reattached?
Yes. Remounting with new hardware and adhesive is a repair visit, not a reason for new counters.
Can I keep my countertop when replacing the sink?
Most of the time. The new sink just has to fit the cutout you already have, or the cutout has to be enlarged.
Do I need a Roselle-registered contractor for sink replacement?
Contractors must register with the Village via Cloudpermit and be licensed: surety bond, certificate of insurance naming the Village, $75 fee. We take care of that before work starts.
Does sink replacement need a Roselle building permit, and who files it?
Permits go through Development & Engineering Services (Building & Zoning), phone 630-671-2821. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Is Roselle water hard, and does it matter for sink replacement?
Roselle's water source: Lake Michigan water via City of Chicago and DuPage Water Commission. We plan fittings and filters around it.
Roselle plumbing code: who can do the plumbing for sink replacement?
Plumbers provide a State plumber's license in place of the $75 Village fee; bond and insurance still required. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Does Roselle have lead service lines?
Village completed service line inventory; 108 suspected lead lines remain (April 2026). A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Do I need a permit for sink replacement in Roselle?
It depends on the scope. Roselle's rule in short: Permit required for projects including bathroom and kitchen remodeling, electrical and plumbing work; also water heater, roof, HVAC. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development & Engineering Services (Building & Zoning).
