Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Warrenville
A kitchen faucet swap is quick when the valves turn, the holes match and the old nuts come loose. In Warrenville our licensed plumbers handle the cases where they don't, and leave you with a faucet that doesn't drip at the base.
Low flow or a sputtering spout
Weak flow at the kitchen faucet while other taps are fine is often a clogged aerator or a scaled spray head. We clean or replace them first.
Old two-handle faucet with a side sprayer
Many owners replace the old two-handle setup with a single lever and a pull-down spray. We cover the leftover holes with a deck plate.
Leaking from the handle
A handle that weeps while you run water has a failed seal under it. We open it up and tell you whether a part solves it.
Faucet leaking from the base
Water pooling around the base of the spout usually means worn O-rings inside the swivel. On an older faucet, replacement is often the better call.
Spout too short or too low
Spout height and reach matter as much as style. We match the faucet to your sink size so water lands in the center of the bowl.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
Faucet swaps often stop at the valves: old multi-turn stops seize or leak when turned. We replace them with quarter-turn valves.
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 Warrenville homeowners
Pull-down or pull-out: which should I choose?
Pull-down suits deep sinks and tall clearance; pull-out works better under low cabinets or a window.
Do I need a plumber to install a faucet?
We recommend it, especially when the shut-off valves are old or the faucet needs a new hole. A licensed plumber makes the connections on every faucet we install.
What does a faucet installation cost?
The faucet type, the condition of the valves and lines and any drilling decide it. We give a written, itemized estimate after we see the sink.
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.
Repair or replace a dripping faucet?
If the faucet is fairly new and parts are available, repair. If it's old, corroded or leaking in several places, replace.
Warrenville water: how does it affect faucet installation?
Warrenville's water source: Groundwater from four city wells in the Silurian-Devonian aquifer (about 300 ft deep); reported hardness is 24-26 grains per gallon. Aerators and cartridges scale faster with harder water.
