Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Villa Park
Whether you picked a pull-down, a touchless or a bridge faucet, we fit it to your sink or counter in Villa Park, cover or reuse the extra holes, and connect it with new supply lines.
Leak under the sink at the faucet lines
If the faucet looks fine on top but the cabinet is wet, check the lines under it. Worn supply hoses and spray hoses are common culprits.
Faucet leaking from the base
When the faucet leaks where it meets the sink, either the internal seals or the mounting gasket has failed. We find which and fix it.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
A single-hole faucet on a three-hole sink needs a deck plate. A widespread faucet needs three holes, which we can drill in stone counters.
Faucet loose or wobbling on the sink
Wobbly faucets loosen further over time and start leaking at the deck. A proper re-mount fixes it.
Drip from the spout that won't stop
If the spout drips day and night, the seal inside the valve has worn. We repair it or put in a new faucet.
Spout too short or too low
A low spout makes it hard to fill stockpots and leaves water splashing at the back. A high-arc or pull-down faucet gives more room.
Wanting a touchless faucet
Hands-free faucets have a sensor, a solenoid valve and a battery pack or outlet connection. We mount it all where it's reachable for service.

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Villa Park homeowners
Should I replace the shut-off valves too?
If they are old multi-turn valves or won't close fully, yes. It's easiest while the faucet is already off.
Are touchless faucets worth it?
For people who cook a lot, yes: no greasy handles. They need batteries or power under the sink and a little more upkeep.
Can you add a filtered-water faucet?
We install filtered-water faucets alongside the main one, connected to an under-sink filter.
How long does it take to install a kitchen faucet?
Most installs take a couple of hours from shut-off to final test.
Why is my faucet leaking from the base?
The O-rings around the spout have worn. Rebuilding is possible on some faucets; on older ones, replacement is often better.
Does Villa Park require a licensed plumber for faucet installation?
Plumbing must be done by Illinois state-licensed plumbers; plumber submits a Letter of Intent and valid State License with the permit application. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Do I need a Villa Park-registered contractor for faucet installation?
No general contractor registration described. Homeowners acting as own general contractor submit a form and homeowner's insurance copy. We take care of that before work starts.

Villa Park's water source: Purchased Lake Michigan surface water from City of Chicago (via DuPage Water Commission); reported hardness is Lake Michigan water via DuPage Water Commission; regional hardness about 8 grains per gallon (137 mg/L as CaCO3). Aerators and cartridges scale faster with harder water.
Does Villa Park have lead service lines?
Village has developed a service line material inventory, available at invillapark.com/1142. Counts not verified. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
