Kitchen water problems we fix
Better-tasting water at your kitchen sink: we help Tinley Park homeowners choose between carbon filters and reverse osmosis, then install the system, the faucet and the drain connection.
Buying bottled water
If the recycling bin is full of plastic bottles, a dedicated filtered faucet pays for itself and frees up the pantry.
Worried about lead
Lead usually comes from pipes and fittings, not the treatment plant. A system certified to NSF/ANSI 53 or 58 for lead reduction protects the water you drink.
Chlorine taste and smell
A pool-like smell from the tap is the disinfectant your utility adds. Carbon filtration under the sink takes it out of the water you drink and cook with.
Cloudy ice and spotted glasses
Hard-water spots on glassware and cloudy ice cubes improve with reverse osmosis at the sink.
Pitcher filter is too slow
Waiting for a pitcher to refill gets old. An under-sink system delivers filtered water as fast as you need it.
Don't want to drill the counter
No drilling required in many cases: we use an existing hole or a system that feeds your current faucet.
PFAS and other contaminants
For PFAS and other emerging contaminants, we install systems with the matching NSF/ANSI certification.
What the install includes
- Water checkWe review your utility's water report and look at your pipes before recommending a system.
- Dedicated faucetWe use the sprayer or soap hole or drill a new faucet hole, including in stone.
- Under-sink installationMounting, supply connection and shut-off valve so service is easy later.

DetailA Tinley Park 1990s two-story colonial: before and after
A 1990s two-story colonial in Tinley Park, a typical kitchen for Tinley Park. Before: solid-surface integrated sink. What bothered the owners most: wanting better drinking water at the sink. The result: a satin brass filtered-water faucet next to the main faucet and a tankless reverse osmosis unit with a small remineralization cartridge under the sink. On site this meant water check, under-sink installation, plus drain connection for RO.

Under-Sink Water Filtration questions from Tinley Park homeowners
Is Lake Michigan water already safe?
It meets federal drinking-water standards when it leaves the plant. A kitchen filter deals with taste, chloramine and what your own pipes add.
Does RO waste water?
Yes, some water goes to drain. Newer efficient systems reduce that ratio a lot.
How often do filters need changing?
Carbon cartridges usually every 6–12 months; RO membranes every 2–3 years, depending on use and water.
Reverse osmosis or carbon filter?
If taste is the issue, carbon. For the broadest protection, RO.
Whole-house filter or under-sink?
Under-sink treats drinking and cooking water; whole-house protects every tap and appliance. Many homes need only the first.
Is Tinley Park water hard, and does it matter for kitchen water filtration?
Tinley Park's water source: Lake Michigan water purchased from the City of Chicago. That decides which filter stages make sense.
Does Tinley Park require a licensed plumber for kitchen water filtration?
Current plumbing license copies must be submitted before permit issuance; letter of intent with all plumbing permit applications. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Tinley Park contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Village contractor license required for all contractors; $100/year general, $50/year subcontractor. We take care of that before work starts.
What is the Tinley Park building department phone number?
Permits go through Building Department (Community Development), phone 708-444-5100. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Do I need a permit for kitchen water filtration in Tinley Park?
