Kitchen Plumbing Services for Home Remodeling in Hometown, IL
Kitchen plumbing remodels can be straight swaps—like installing a new faucet or disposal—or bigger jobs involving relocating sinks, running gas lines to new ranges, adding prep sinks, or installing pot fillers. Each project varies in cost and schedule, and some require permits. Whatever your kitchen’s needs, our team is ready to take care of it efficiently.
Planning is crucial. Call us at 708-847-7097 early in your remodel. We recommend consulting before cabinets go in, since moving drains or gas lines is much easier with open access. For example, if your sink moves, we handle rerouting drains under the floor; if you add a gas line, it must be roughed in before cabinetry; pot fillers require the wall open behind the stove before backsplash installation. Early plumbing work helps keep your project on track.
Besides remodels, we’re also available for stand-alone kitchen plumbing needs—like faucet replacements, disposing repairs, dishwasher hookups, or ice maker line installs. Remodeling is a perfect time to assess your water heater capacity or clear slow drains before cabinets are replaced. Reach us at 708-847-7097 for any kitchen plumbing issue.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all sink styles: undermount (coordinating with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. This includes setting drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting hot and cold water lines with durable braided stainless steel, not brittle plastic tubing. If you need a garbage disposal hooked up, we can handle that during the same visit.
Faucet installs cover every mounting style—single-hole, three-hole, or deck-mounted with plate—and we pressure test to ensure no leaks. Moving your sink to a new spot is a bigger job involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply extensions, which we handle fully, including permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We hook up dishwashers by connecting the hot water supply and routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to avoid sewer gas backups. While electrical hookups require an electrician, we coordinate to make sure everything aligns. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install cold water lines with accessible shutoff valves right behind the unit.
We also install instant-hot water dispensers and under-sink filtration or reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we drill the faucet hole, connect supply and drain lines, and advise on replacing filter cartridges. Give us a call at 708-847-7097 for any appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading to a gas range or adding a cooktop? We install gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU requirements, running pipe from your gas meter or existing lines, fitting shutoff valves, and completing connections with flexible approved connectors. We pressure test everything thoroughly and handle all permits and inspections.
Important tip: gas line rough-ins must be completed before cabinets go in, especially if running to a kitchen island. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry is complicated and disruptive. Coordinate early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove saves hauling heavy pots of water. It needs a cold water line run inside the wall, typically 56–60 inches from the floor and slightly offset from the stove centerline. This is easiest during a remodel with open walls, but we can retrofit pot fillers in finished kitchens with minimal patching. Contact us at 708-847-7097 to explore options.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island is trickier because we can’t vent the drain the usual way through a wall stack. Island sinks require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, depending on local code. Water supply lines run from the closest mains easily enough, but the drain and vent pipes need careful routing under your floor and back up into the island. We’ve done many island sinks and can guide you through your setup.

Helpful Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving the sink is the priciest plumbing change, so lock in placement early, before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line rough-in before installing cabinets: Running gas lines after cabinetry is tough; schedule this early.
- Install pot filler before tile backsplash: It’s much easier to open walls before backsplash goes up.
- Upgrade shutoff valves when pipes are accessible: Replace old gate valves with ball valves while plumbing is exposed to avoid leaks later.
- Run refrigerator water line before countertops: Easier to route ice maker supply before countertops are installed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it’s the most involved plumbing change in a kitchen remodel. Island sinks require special venting solutions—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve—because you can’t connect to a wall vent stack normally. The water supply lines are straightforward, but drain and vent pipes need careful routing under the floor. We’ve installed many island sinks and are happy to discuss your layout. Call us at 708-847-7097 before finalizing your plans.
Simple fixture replacements like faucets, disposals, or dishwashers usually don’t need permits if staying in the same location. But any work involving drain rerouting, new supply lines, gas line installation, or layout changes requires permits. We handle the entire permit and inspection process, so you don’t have to worry.
Yes. The best time to run a gas line for a stove or cooktop is during a remodel, when walls are open. We’ll size the gas pipe correctly, pressure test it, and pull the required permits. Make sure to schedule gas line work before cabinets go in to avoid costly reopening of walls. Learn more on our gas line services page.
