The everyday fixtures — faucets, toilets, sinks, garbage disposals, and shutoff valves — are what you actually touch every day, and a small leak or a wobbly install becomes a daily annoyance (and a slow source of water damage). Ludwig Family Plumbing installs and repairs fixtures across Lake in the Hills and McHenry County with upfront pricing and clean, lasting work.
Whether you're replacing a tired kitchen faucet, upgrading to a comfort-height toilet, adding a disposal, or fixing a drip that won't quit, we do it right the first time — including the shutoff valves and supply lines that so often get skipped.
Signs You Need Faucet & Fixture Install
- A dripping or leaking faucet
- A running or constantly refilling toilet
- A new sink, faucet, or fixture to install
- A garbage disposal that hums, leaks, or won't run
- Old or seized shutoff valves under a fixture
- Low flow or corrosion at a fixture
Faucets, sinks, and disposals
We install and repair kitchen and bath faucets, sinks, and garbage disposals — matching the fixture to your setup and replacing tired supply lines and shutoff valves while we're in there, so you're not calling us back next month for the part we should have handled.
Toilets and shutoff valves
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day. We repair the internals or install a new, efficient toilet — including comfort-height and water-saving models — set on a fresh wax seal and correctly bolted. We also replace old, seized shutoff valves so you (and we) can actually shut the water off when needed.
Upfront pricing on fixture work
Fixture jobs are where surprise pricing is most common in this trade — so we give you the price before we start. The main factors are the fixture itself, whether supply lines and shutoffs need replacing, and any surprises behind an old fixture (corrosion, prior bad work) that we'll show you before proceeding.
Our Faucet & Fixture Install Process
Every job follows the same clear path — so you know what happens next and there are no surprises along the way.

We check that the fixture matches your setup — and flag it before we start if it won't, so you're not stuck.

Protect the shutoffs
We replace corroded or seized shutoff valves and tired supply lines while we're in there, so a working shutoff is there when you need it.

Install clean
We set faucets, sinks, toilets, and disposals level and sealed — a fresh wax ring and correct bolts on toilets, no wobble.
- 4
Price it upfront
You get the price before we start, including anything we find behind an old fixture, so there's no surprise on the invoice.

Test for leaks
We run water, check every connection, and confirm the fixture works right before we call it done.

Faucet & Fixture Install FAQs
Yes. We're glad to install a faucet, toilet, sink, or disposal you've purchased, and we'll flag before we start if the fixture isn't right for your setup so you're not stuck.
Usually a worn flapper, fill valve, or float. It's an easy repair that stops real water waste. If the toilet is old or cracked, replacement may be the better value — we'll tell you which.
We recommend it whenever the old valves are corroded or seized, because a working shutoff is what lets you stop a leak fast. It's a small add that saves a big headache later.
Not necessarily. A hum with no spin is often a jam that can be cleared, or a reset that's tripped. If the motor or seals have failed, we'll recommend a replacement and install it the same visit when we can.
Gladly. We'll install a faucet, toilet, sink, or disposal you've purchased, and we'll tell you before we start if it isn't the right fit for your setup so you're not left with a fixture that won't work.
