Sink moving to an island or a new wall
When a remodel moves the sink, the plumbing has to follow. We rough in the new lines, pull the permit when it is needed and connect the fixtures.

Kitchen plumbing problems we fix in Chicagoland
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 Chicagoland and tell you plainly which one your kitchen needs.
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 →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 Sink Leak & Drain Repair →Shut-off valves that won't close
Old multi-turn valves under the sink often seize or drip when you finally need them. We replace them with quarter-turn valves and new braided supply lines.
Appliance Water Line Installation →Sink that drains slowly or backs up
Grease and food build up in the trap and the line behind the wall. We clear the clog and look at why it keeps coming back.
Kitchen Drain Cleaning →Faucet dripping or leaking at the base
When a faucet drips no matter how hard you turn the handle, its internal seal is worn. We repair it or install a new one the same visit when we can.
Kitchen Faucet Installation →Tap water you don't like to drink
Chlorine taste, hard-water spots or worries about old pipes are common reasons for a filter at the sink. We install carbon and reverse osmosis systems.
Under-Sink Water Filtration →Disposal humming, jammed or dead
Disposals stop for a few common reasons: a jam, a tripped overload or a worn-out motor. We sort out which and repair or swap the unit.

The same job looks different in a 1920s bungalow, a 1970s split-level and a new subdivision. Here is what we plan for in different parts of the region.
Prewar towns
Old galvanized or cast-iron pipes
Many older Berwyn and Oak Park homes still have galvanized supply pipe and cast-iron or galvanized drains. They rust from inside, which narrows lines and causes leaks at the joints.
Condo and townhome towns
Condo kitchen on a shared stack
If your sink drains into a shared line, a clog or a leak can affect neighbors. We work on your unit's lines and tell you if the problem sits in the building's stack.

Lead service line programs
My home may have a lead service line. What should I do in the kitchen?
Look up your address in the service line inventory. Until a lead line is replaced, filtering kitchen drinking water with a lead-certified system is a practical precaution.

Before the install
Do you fix the pipes under and behind the sink?
We work on everything from the shut-off valves to the drain connection in the wall, and beyond when the problem goes further.
Do you also work on water heaters, sump pumps or bathrooms?
We concentrate on the kitchen: sinks, faucets, disposals, drains and appliance lines.
Why does my sink back up when the dishwasher runs?
The dishwasher drains through the same line as the sink. If that line or the disposal is partly clogged, the water comes up in the sink.
How long does a typical kitchen plumbing repair take?
A fixture swap or leak repair is usually done in one visit. Moving the sink is a multi-day project.
What should I do first when the sink is leaking?
Stop the water at the sink valves or the main, dry the cabinet and avoid running the dishwasher or disposal.
