Sangamon Street Plumbing: Top-Rated Plumbing Company Serving Chicago, IL 60609

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to check the water supply line, drain hose, and connections behind your dishwasher—common failure points for leaks. We'll assess for worn seals, loose fittings, and proper installation to catch small issues before they cause water damage to your floors or cabinetry, which is especially important in our older Chicago homes.

Chicago's varying water conditions and the age of many housing fixtures can cause mineral buildup and corrosion inside valves over time. A broken or stiff shutoff valve is a common local issue. During an inspection, we test these valves for smooth operation and signs of wear, recommending repairs or replacements to ensure you can reliably shut off water in an emergency.

First, locate and turn off the local shutoff valve for that sink to stop the water flow. If the valve is broken or doesn't work, you may need to shut off the main water supply. Then, contact us immediately. Our inspection can quickly identify if the leak is from a supply line, drain pipe, or the valve itself—common culprits in local kitchens—so we can make a precise, lasting repair.
