Complete Kitchen Remodel Plumbing Services in Elmhurst, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be a quick fix like replacing a faucet or hooking up a new disposal. Or it can be a larger undertaking involving moving the sink to an island, installing a gas line for a stove, adding a prep sink in a pantry, or prepping for a pot filler faucet. The size of the job affects how long it takes, the cost, and whether permits are needed. No matter the complexity, our team has you covered.
Here’s a pro tip: schedule your plumber early—before cabinets are installed. Sink relocation means rerouting drains while the subfloor is open. Gas lines for island ranges need to be run before cabinetry blocks access. Installing a pot filler requires opening the wall behind the stove, which is far simpler before backsplash tile is applied. Locking in plumber availability early keeps your project on track.
We’re also available for standalone kitchen plumbing needs — faucet swaps, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs, no remodel necessary. Kitchen remodeling is a great time to make sure your water heater can keep up with new demands and to fix slow kitchen drains before cabinets trap the problem out of reach. Give us a call at 331-704-1094 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks — undermount (we coordinate with countertop fabricators), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single and double bowls, or prep sinks. Our installation includes drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and secure connections to hot and cold water lines using braided stainless steel supply lines — no brittle old plastic here. We can also handle garbage disposal installation and hookups alongside sink work.
For faucets, we mount single-hole, three-hole, or deck plate styles, making sure to pressure test everything thoroughly. If you’re moving your sink to a different spot, expect a more involved process: rerouting drain lines, modifying vents, and extending supply lines. We'll take care of permits and inspections for you.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include hot water supply, a properly routed drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and a check to make sure your electrical connections meet the manufacturer’s specs (we coordinate with electricians when needed). For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves easily accessible behind the unit.
We also install under-sink water filtration, instant hot water taps, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we handle the faucet installation through your sink deck, connect supply and waste lines, and provide advice on filter maintenance. Call us at 331-704-1094 for any appliance line work.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas? Adding a gas cooktop to your island? We install gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU rating, route piping from the nearest gas source, install shutoff valves, connect to your appliance with flexible, code-approved fittings, and perform pressure testing. We manage the permitting and inspections to keep everything safe and up to code. Learn more on our gas line services page.
Important: gas line rough-ins for islands or relocated appliances must be done before cabinets are installed. After cabinetry goes in, routing gas lines becomes a tough job. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us to avoid delays.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted near your stove lets you fill pots without carrying heavy water-filled pots across the kitchen. It requires a cold water supply line run inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor, and roughly four inches off the stove centerline. Installing during a remodel is easiest since the walls are open. We can also retrofit pot fillers into finished kitchens, though that involves cutting and patching drywall or tile. Give us a call to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Work
Installing a sink on a kitchen island adds complexity because island drains can’t tie into wall vents the usual way. You’ll need either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply is straightforward, but venting and drainage require careful planning through the floor and subfloor. We have extensive experience with island sink plumbing — call early to discuss your design before finalizing plans.

Helpful Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Decide sink placement before demolition: Moving sinks is the costliest plumbing change—finalize location before cabinets are ordered.
- Run gas lines before cabinetry: Gas piping to islands or new range spots must be completed prior to cabinet installation.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: It’s easier to open walls before tile goes up.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with modern ball valves during plumbing exposure.
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: This step is simpler before counters are installed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, we can. Moving a sink to an island is one of the more complicated plumbing jobs because the drain venting needs special treatment — either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local code. Running supply lines is straightforward but routing the drain through the floor needs careful planning. We handle these jobs often. Call us at 331-704-1094 to talk through your island plumbing needs before you finalize your design.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot like faucets, disposals, or connecting a dishwasher, usually no permit is required. But if you reroute drains, run new supply lines, relocate gas lines, or significantly change the layout, permits definitely come into play. We take care of all permits and inspections as part of the job.
Absolutely. Installing a gas line during remodeling is ideal since walls are open. We properly size and install the gas piping for your range, cooktop, or oven, pressure test the system, and handle permits. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before your cabinets go in.
