Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Schaumburg
Most kitchen plumbing lives in one cabinet: two supply valves, a trap, a disposal and the dishwasher hose. In Schaumburg our licensed plumbers repair and replace everything in that space, and move or add lines when the layout changes.
Dishwasher hose and drain set up wrong
A dishwasher drain hose lying flat on the cabinet floor can let dirty sink water flow back into the machine. We route it with a high loop or an air gap, as local code calls for.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →Shut-off valves that won't close
If the valves under your sink are crusted or won't turn, a repair turns into a whole-house shutdown. We change them before that happens.
Appliance Water Line Installation →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 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 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 →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
When a remodel moves the sink, the plumbing has to follow. We rough in the new lines, pull the permit when it is needed and connect the fixtures.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Schaumburg homeowners
Will I need a permit?
Like-for-like replacements rarely need one. New supply or drain lines and relocations usually do.
Do I need a licensed plumber for kitchen plumbing in Illinois?
Illinois requires plumbing to be done by state-licensed plumbers. A simple fixture swap rarely needs a permit, but new lines and relocations usually do, and we handle that.
Can a plumber fix a kitchen sink?
Of course. Whether the sink drips, drains slowly or needs replacing, it's a plumbing call.
What should I do first when the sink is leaking?
Turn off the two valves in the cabinet. If they won't close, shut the main water valve and call us.
Is it worth calling a plumber for a slow drain?
When the sink backs up repeatedly or both bowls are affected, call us. The blockage is usually past the trap.

Schaumburg's water source: Lake Michigan water from Chicago (Jardine plant), delivered via Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency (NSMJAWA). We plan fittings and filters around it.
