Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in West Chicago
We are kitchen plumbers. In West Chicago homes we swap sinks and faucets, fix and install disposals, clear and repair drains and run new water lines, with every connection made by a licensed plumber.
Faucet that no longer suits the kitchen
Two-handle faucets with a separate sprayer are a common upgrade to a single-handle pull-down or a touchless model. We fit it to your sink holes and supplies.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Ice maker or dishwasher needs a water line
A new refrigerator with an ice maker or a dishwasher in a new spot needs a proper supply line and valve. We run it and connect the appliance.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Shut-off valves that won't close
Stuck or weeping stop valves are a small part with a big job. New quarter-turn valves let you shut off the sink in a second.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Sink moving to an island or a new wall
Moving the sink means new drain, vent and supply lines, and usually a village permit. Our licensed plumbers plan the route and do the work.
Kitchen Plumbing Relocation →Water on the floor of the sink cabinet
Puddles under the sink come from a short list of places: the trap, the strainer, the disposal or the supply side. A visit pins down which one and stops it.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →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 →Faucet dripping or leaking at the base
A drip from the spout or water pooling around the base means a worn cartridge or O-rings. Some faucets are worth repairing; tired ones are better replaced.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from West Chicago homeowners
My home may have a lead service line. What should I do in the kitchen?
Find out from your town's inventory whether your line is lead. Meanwhile, a lead-certified under-sink filter protects drinking water at the sink.
Should I repair or replace my faucet or disposal?
It depends on age and what failed. We tell you honestly when a repair is worth it and when it isn't.
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
Yes. The pipes in the sink cabinet and the lines feeding it are kitchen plumbing, and we handle them.
Will I need a permit?
Usually not for swapping a faucet, sink or disposal in place. Adding or moving lines generally needs a village permit, which we take care of.
Is it worth calling a plumber for a slow drain?
A one-time slow drain may clear with a plunger. One that keeps returning needs the line cleaned, not more drain chemicals.
What is the West Chicago building department phone number?
Permits go through Community Development Department. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Does West Chicago have lead service lines?
The City runs a Lead Service Line Replacement Project under the Illinois Lead Service Line Replacement and Notification Act. A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
West Chicago contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
All contractors and subcontractors working in West Chicago must be registered with the City (insurance, licensing and bonding are checked). We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for kitchen plumbing job in West Chicago?
It depends on the scope. West Chicago's rule in short: West Chicago requires a building permit for certain home improvement and remodeling projects; the city publishes an Additions & Remodeling permit guide with a submittal checklist. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department.
