Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Wheaton
We are kitchen plumbers. In Wheaton 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.
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 →Shut-off valves that won't close
If the valves under your sink are crusted or won't turn, a repair turns into a whole-house shutdown. We change them before that happens.
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 →Faucet dripping or leaking at the base
Leaks at the handle, the spout or under the deck have different causes. We tell you whether a cartridge fixes it or a new faucet makes more sense.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Leak after someone else's install
DIY and big-box installs sometimes leave flexible accordion drains or loose fittings. We rebuild the drain the right way.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Gurgling or smell from the drain
Gurgling as the sink empties, or a sewer smell from the cabinet, can mean a dry or wrong trap, a loose connection or a venting problem. We check each.
Kitchen Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Basket strainer leaking at the sink
A drip right below the drain opening usually means the putty or gasket under the basket strainer has given up. We reset or replace the strainer.

Kitchen Plumbing Services questions from Wheaton homeowners
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.
Why does my sink back up when the dishwasher runs?
Shared drain, partial clog. The dishwasher pushes water faster than a choked line can carry it, so it rises in the bowl.
How long does a typical kitchen plumbing repair take?
Most valve, trap, faucet and disposal jobs take a few hours. Relocations and new lines take longer and may wait on an inspection.
Is it worth calling a plumber for a slow drain?
When the sink backs up repeatedly or both bowls are affected, call us. The blockage is usually past the trap.
Do I need a licensed plumber for kitchen plumbing in Illinois?
Illinois requires plumbing to be done by state-licensed plumbers. A simple fixture swap rarely needs a permit, but new lines and relocations usually do, and we handle that.
Do I need a Wheaton-registered contractor for kitchen plumbing job?
Yes: contractors register online with the City; $75 fee, renewed annually. We take care of that before work starts.
Does Wheaton require a licensed plumber for kitchen plumbing job?
Plumbing contractors must submit State Plumbing Contractor Registration (055) and State Plumbing license (058). Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
Wheaton building permit for kitchen plumbing job: where do I apply?
Permits go through Building & Code Enforcement Department, phone 630-260-2050. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Is Wheaton water hard, and does it matter for kitchen plumbing job?
