Kitchen Plumbing
Kitchen Plumbing Services for Wheeling, IL and Surrounding Areas
Kitchen plumbing is one of the most important plumbing systems in your home.
Disposals, sinks, faucets and dishwasher connections, working the way they should
The kitchen's plumbing is used more than any other in the house, and it is the one most likely to be stopped by grease and food. A disposal that jams or a sink that backs up brings cooking to a halt; a dripping faucet or a leaking dishwasher connection runs up the water bill and damages the cabinet beneath.
A plunger, a snake or vinegar and baking soda will sometimes clear a sink. When they do not, or when the problem is the disposal, the valve or the piping, it is time to call.
What kitchen plumbing includes
Repair, replacement and installation across the whole kitchen.
- Garbage disposal repair, replacement and installation
- Sink and faucet repair and installation, including leaks and clogs
- Dishwasher water supply and drain connections
- Angle stops, isolation valves, pressure restoration and the water and drain piping behind it all

Garbage Disposals
Kitchen plumbing is one of the most important plumbing systems in your home.
Whether you are washing a glass, cleaning up after, or preparing a large meal, it’s essential that your kitchen’s plumbing is working properly.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment with one of our licensed technicians who has the highest level of training and experience in this type of plumbing work. Plus, when you choose the Capps Plumbing & Sewer, Inc. team, you get fair prices, 24-hour service, and more.
Garbage disposals are handy little appliances but can quickly cause big plumbing problems if they are clogged or broken. Whether it’s a repair, replacement, or new installation, our expert plumbers are ready to get your disposal grinding away.
Sinks
The focal point of any kitchen, a clogged sink, can cause major headaches. Most clogs are caused by a broken garbage disposal, grease buildup, or an accumulation of food. You can unclog your kitchen sink using a plunger, a snake, or using vinegar and baking soda solution. If these DIY methods don’t work, it’s time to call Capps. We also provide other sink repair services, including leaks, faucet repair and installation, and garbage disposal services.
Faucets
Just like bathroom faucets, functioning kitchen faucets are a household necessity. Ongoing drips or leaks can lead to water damage and high water bills. Our technicians have the experience and skill to repair and maintain your kitchen faucet.
Dishwasher connections
A dishwasher that leaks can have a problem with its water supply or drain line connection. Capps Plumbing & Sewer, Inc. connects your dishwasher to the water supply and the drain, and repairs those connections. We do not repair the dishwasher itself.

Kitchen Plumbing questions
What kitchen plumbing services do you provide?
We repair and install faucets, sinks, garbage disposals, and kitchen water lines, and we handle dishwasher connections. Our team also handles pressure issues, valve repairs, and drain piping to keep your kitchen running properly.
Why is my kitchen sink draining slowly or clogging often?
Slow drains are usually caused by grease buildup, food debris, or blockages deeper in the pipe. If the problem keeps coming back, it often means your line needs professional cleaning or repair.
What causes a leaking kitchen faucet or pipe?
Leaks are often due to worn-out seals, loose connections, or aging pipes. Even small drips can increase your water bill and lead to damage if ignored.
Do you repair or replace garbage disposals?
Yes, we can repair and replace garbage disposals.
When should I call a plumber for a kitchen plumbing issue?
Call us if you notice leaks, low water pressure, recurring clogs, or unusual noises. Early repairs help prevent bigger problems like water damage or pipe failure.
