Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Villa Park
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 Villa Park and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
Sink that drains slowly or backs up
Water that sits in one bowl or rises in the other side when the disposal runs points to a blockage in the shared drain. We clear it properly instead of pouring chemicals on it.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning →Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
A new faucet changes how you use the sink every day. We install the one you pick and cover or use the extra holes in the deck.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →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 →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
A wet cabinet floor usually traces back to a loose slip nut on the trap, a worn basket strainer or a supply line that has started to weep. We find the source and fix it.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Disposal humming, jammed or dead
Humming means power is getting there but the plate can't turn. We clear the jam and test it, and tell you when the unit isn't worth saving.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair →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 →Old sink you want gone
Chipped porcelain, a stained double bowl or a rim that collects grime: we pull the old sink, prepare the opening and set a new one with the plumbing reconnected.
