Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Wood Dale
Whether you picked a pull-down, a touchless or a bridge faucet, we fit it to your sink or counter in Wood Dale, cover or reuse the extra holes, and connect it with new supply lines.
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.
Pull-down sprayer that won't retract
Sprayer heads that droop often need the weight moved or a worn hose replaced. It's a quick fix.
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
A touchless kitchen faucet is a standard install with one extra piece: the control box and its power supply. We fit both.
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.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
If the valves under the sink are stuck, we shut the water elsewhere and install new ones before connecting the faucet.
Included with the install
- Check the sink and suppliesA check of the sink holes, shut-offs and clearances so the faucet fits.
- Shut off and removeThe old faucet and side sprayer taken off without damaging the sink.
- Clean the deckThe sink or counter around the holes cleaned so the new base seals.
- Replace valves when neededNew shut-off valves if the old ones won't close or weep.
- Supply connectionsHot and cold lines hooked up to the valves.
- Power for touchless modelsControl box mounted and battery pack or plug-in adapter set up.
- Flush and testWe run hot and cold, test the sprayer and look for drips below.

DetailBefore and after: a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Wood Dale
This one is a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Wood Dale. Before: solid-surface integrated sink. What bothered the owners most: an old faucet that dripped and was crusted with scale. The result: a new single-handle pull-down faucet with a clean caulk line. On site this meant check the sink and supplies, clean the deck, plus supply connections.
