Aurora's water supply varies by side of the city — East Aurora (DuPage County, ZIP 60502 and 60504) is served by the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District drawing from Lake Michigan via DuPage systems, while West Aurora (Kane County, ZIP 60506) draws from the Fox River aquifer, which runs harder at 14–18 grains per gallon. That higher hardness on the West Side accelerates cartridge calcification, aerator clogging, and shutoff valve corrosion significantly faster than on the East Side. In Aurora's oldest homes near downtown — some dating to the 1890s–1920s — original galvanized steel supply lines with near-zero interior diameter are still present in some cases. Mid-century homes from the 1940s–60s have early copper with compression shutoffs that seize during faucet jobs. In newer East Aurora subdivisions from the 1990s–2000s, builder-grade Delta and Moen fixtures are now reaching end of service life. We carry full replacement kits on every Aurora faucet job — valves, lines, and tools — no matter which side of the city.
Yes, all of Aurora. We work in older homes near downtown and the Fox River as well as newer subdivisions off Eola, Route 59, and Orchard Road. The age of the home affects what we may encounter under the sink, but we come prepared for both.
It can require extra prep, but it’s nothing we haven’t handled. Older homes in Aurora’s east side often have non-standard sink configurations, galvanized supply lines, or shut-offs that haven’t been turned in decades. We check everything before we start and walk you through any complications — no surprises.
Same-week appointments are typically available across Aurora. Given the city’s size, we’re in different parts of town throughout the week. For an actively leaking faucet, reach out directly and we’ll work to get there sooner.
Yes. We replace outdoor spigots and hose bibs throughout Aurora. Spring is the busiest season for this — freeze damage over winter cracks a lot of hose bibs, particularly on older east-side homes. We install frost-free models and can replace a stiff interior shut-off at the same visit.
Every time. We turn the water back on and test all connections under full pressure before we leave. In older Aurora homes with aging pipes, this step is especially important — we want to catch anything unusual before it becomes a problem for you.
