Kitchen Plumbing Remodeling Services in Lombard, IL
Kitchen plumbing jobs range from quick updates like swapping a faucet or hooking up a disposal, to bigger projects such as relocating the sink to an island, adding a gas line for a new stove, or roughing in a pot filler faucet. The complexity affects the cost, duration, and permit requirements. No matter the scope, our team handles it with skill and efficiency.
Here’s my recommendation: get a plumber involved early—before your cabinets arrive. For sink moves, drains and vents must be rerouted while the subfloor is exposed. Adding a new gas line to an island or range requires rough-in work ahead of cabinetry. Installing a pot filler means opening the wall behind the stove, which is much easier before the backsplash is tiled. Early scheduling helps avoid costly delays and keeps your renovation on track.
We also offer kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside remodeling projects—whether it’s faucet replacement, disposal repair, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installations. Remodeling is also a good time to check your water heater’s capacity and address slow drains before cabinets go back in. Call us at 331-225-4014 for service anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installations
We install all sink styles—undermount (which requires careful countertop coordination), drop-in, farmhouse/apron, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our installations include drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and secure supply connections. We use braided stainless steel water lines instead of brittle plastic. Garbage disposals are installed and connected during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle all types and mounting styles, from single-hole to three-hole with deck plates, and thoroughly test for leaks before finishing. Moving a sink to a new spot involves drain and vent rerouting plus supply line extensions—this requires permits and inspections, which we manage for you.
Dishwasher & Other Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher hookups involve connecting the hot water line, routing the drain with a proper air gap or high loop to prevent backflow, and confirming electrical requirements (we coordinate with electricians). We run water lines for refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, installing shut-off valves in accessible spots behind the fridge.
Other appliance connections we handle include instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we install dedicated faucets and connect supply and drain lines, and advise on filter maintenance. Reach out at 331-225-4014 for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching from electric to gas? Adding a gas cooktop to an island? We run gas lines sized properly for your appliance BTU, routed from your meter or existing line, install shut-off valves, connect with approved flexible fittings, perform pressure testing, and handle required permits and inspections. Check our gas line services page for details on our process and safety standards.
Important to note: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinetry is installed. Adding lines after cabinets are in place is difficult and disruptive. Coordinate your schedule with us and your contractor early.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above your stove to fill pots without lugging them from the sink. This requires running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and offset slightly from the range center. It’s a simple job during a remodel with open walls but more involved if walls are finished, as it requires cutting, patching, and repainting or retiling. Contact us at 331-225-4014 to discuss your kitchen’s situation.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is trickier since drains can’t tie into wall vents the usual way. Island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Hot and cold supplies are run from nearby mains, but the drain and vent pipes must be carefully routed below the subfloor and up into the island cabinet. We regularly install island sinks—call us early to plan your layout correctly.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Sink moves are costly and need to be finalized before ordering cabinets
- Run gas lines before cabinets are installed: Gas rough-in is much easier without cabinetry in place
- Install pot fillers before backsplash tile: Opening walls is simpler prior to tiling
- Upgrade shutoff valves when plumbing is exposed: Old gate valves often leak—replace them with ball valves
- Install fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to run lines before counters are set
Frequently Asked Kitchen Plumbing Questions
Yes, but it’s one of the most involved plumbing changes due to the need for special venting like an island loop or an air admittance valve. Running supply lines is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor requires careful planning.

For minor repairs or fixture replacements in the same spot like faucets or disposals, permits usually aren’t needed.

We manage the entire permitting process to keep everything above board.
