Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in Plainfield, IL
Kitchen plumbing in remodeling projects can be a quick update like swapping out a faucet or connecting a new garbage disposal or dishwasher, or it might involve a more extensive rough-in with sink relocation to an island, running new gas lines for ranges, installing prep sinks, or adding pot fillers. The scope you choose impacts costs, scheduling, and permit requirements — and we’re prepared to take on any size job.
My recommendation when planning your kitchen upgrade: get us involved early, before the cabinetry arrives. Moving the sink means drain lines need to be rerouted before subfloors and walls are closed up. A new gas line for your range or island cooktop should be roughed in ahead of cabinetry. Pot fillers require wall access behind the stove, so installing them during the remodel phase avoids extra patchwork. Scheduling us early helps keep your project on track, especially with Illinois weather potentially slowing exterior work.
We also handle kitchen plumbing outside of remodels — faucet installations, repairs on disposals, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line setups. Remodeling is also the perfect time to check your water heater’s capacity for new appliances or clear out clogs and slow drains before cabinets go back in. Feel free to call us at 779-217-8271 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We work with all sink types: undermount (which requires proper countertop coordination), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Installation includes drain assembly, strainers, P-traps, and secure connections for hot and cold water. We use braided stainless steel supply lines for durability, avoiding brittle plastic tubing. If you need a garbage disposal installed alongside, we can handle it in the same visit.
For faucets, we install any style and manage mounting setups whether it’s a single hole, three holes, or deck-plate style. We pressure test everything before signing off. Moving a sink is a bigger job involving rerouting drain lines, ventilation adjustments, and extending supply pipes — all done with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include attaching the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and confirming the electrical setup (electrician’s job, but we coordinate). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line from the closest supply, using copper or braided stainless tubing with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis setups. For RO systems, we fit the dedicated faucet on the sink deck, connect supply and drain lines, and advise on ongoing filter upkeep. Contact us anytime at 779-217-8271 to get your kitchen appliances hooked up properly.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas cooking or adding a cooktop in your island? We install gas lines sized exactly for your appliance’s BTU rating, run the pipe from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, use flexible connectors, and pressure test everything to code. We also manage permits and inspections. See our gas line services page for the full breakdown.
Important planning tip: gas line runs to new island locations or appliance spots must be done before cabinets are installed. Trying to add them afterward is much tougher and risks damage to your cabinetry. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us to avoid delays.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted over the stove lets you fill pots directly without lugging them across the kitchen. Installation requires a cold water supply line run inside the wall roughly 56 to 60 inches above floor level and positioned about 4 inches beside the range center. This job is straightforward during a remodel with open walls but can be done in finished kitchens with some wall patching. Contact us at 779-217-8271 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Installation and Drain Venting
Island sinks add complexity because their drains can’t tie into wall vents like standard sinks. They require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Water supply runs hot and cold lines from the nearest main, but routing the drain and vent pipes beneath the floor and back up into the island cabinet takes careful design. We handle island sinks regularly. Give us a call before you finalize your island plan to ensure your plumbing will work flawlessly.

Timing Guidelines for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demo: Sink moves are the priciest plumbing changes—lock it in before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas rough-in before cabinets: Gas lines to islands or new appliance spots must be done ahead of cabinetry
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Wall access is simpler before tiling
- Upgrade shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Replace aging gate valves with ball valves during remodel
- Run fridge water line before countertop installation: Easier access before countertops are set
Pricing varies widely based on the work involved—simple faucet and disposal swaps run a few hundred dollars in labor, while a full kitchen rough-in with sink relocation and gas line installation can reach several thousand. There’s no single average price. Reach out at 779-217-8271 and tell us about your project so we can provide a clear, honest estimate.
Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing Remodels
Yes, but it’s one of the more involved plumbing jobs. Island sinks need special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, depending on local codes—to keep drains flowing properly. Water supply lines are straightforward, but the drain piping must go under the floor and back up into the island cabinet. We do this work often, so call us at 779-217-8271 to review your island design before finalizing it.
If you’re simply swapping fixtures in place, like replacing faucets, disposals, or hooking up dishwashers, a permit usually isn’t necessary. But any work involving rerouting drains, running new supply pipes, installing gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout requires permits. We take care of pulling the permits and scheduling inspections for you.
Absolutely. Running gas lines during a remodel is ideal since walls and floors are open. We size and install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, pressure test to code, and handle permits and inspections. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets are installed to keep the job smooth.
