Expert Kitchen Plumbing Remodels in Flossmoor, IL
Kitchen plumbing work can be as simple as swapping faucets and connecting disposals or dishwashers in a few hours, or it can be a bigger job like relocating your sink to an island, installing a gas line for a new stove, or roughing in a pot filler faucet. The size and complexity of the project impact the price, schedule, and need for permits. We manage all scopes thoroughly.
Here’s a tip when calling us at 708-991-8640: get a plumber involved early, ideally before cabinets are delivered or installed. Moving your sink means the drain and supply lines must be rerouted while the subfloor is still accessible. Adding a gas line for a stove or cooktop should be done before the cabinetry goes in. Pot fillers require wall access behind the range, which is much easier before backsplash tile goes on. Scheduling plumbing early prevents costly delays down the line.
We also handle kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside of remodels — faucet replacements, disposal servicing, dishwasher line hookups, or refrigerator water line installs. Remodeling is a great time to verify your water heater can meet added demand and clear any slow drains before finishing the cabinetry. Give us a call at 708-991-8640 for these services.
What Kitchen Plumbing Services We Offer
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks — undermount (with proper countertop coordination), drop-in, farmhouse-style, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our sink service includes assembling and connecting the drain assembly, strainers, P-traps, and water supply lines. We use braided stainless steel supply lines to avoid leaks and breaks common with old ribbed plastic tubing. Garbage disposals installation is handled at the same appointment if needed.
Faucet installs cover all mounting types — single-hole, three-hole, or those requiring deck plates. Every faucet is tested before we finish. Moving a sink to a new location is a bigger job involving drain rerouting and vent adjustments, and we handle permits and inspections for that too.
Hooking Up Dishwashers and Other Appliances
Dishwasher plumbing includes connecting the hot water line, running the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to avoid contamination, and confirming the appliance’s electrical power is up to code (which we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerators with ice makers and water dispensers, we install a dedicated water line from the closest supply valve, using copper or braided stainless steel and installing an accessible shut-off valve behind the fridge.
We also hook up under-sink water filtration units, instant hot water taps, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we drill and mount the separate faucet on the sink deck, connect supply and waste lines properly, and advise on filter maintenance. Call us at 708-991-8640 for any of these appliance connections.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching from electric to gas ranges or adding gas cooktops? We run properly sized gas piping from the nearest gas main or meter, place a shutoff valve for safety, connect the appliance using approved flexible connectors, and subject the system to pressure testing. We handle all permits and inspections needed to comply with Illinois codes. Visit our gas line services section to learn about our process and safety protocols.
Important: Gas lines for islands or new stove locations must be installed before cabinetry. Retrofitting a gas line after cabinets are set is a tough job and often damages existing finishes. Coordinate early with your contractor and us to avoid headaches.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall behind your stove lets you fill pots without carrying heavy water across the kitchen. We install a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches up and roughly 4 inches off the centerline of the range. This install is easiest during remodeling with open walls but we can also do it in finished kitchens with careful cutting, patching, and finishing. Call 708-991-8640 to explore options.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in an island is a bit trickier because the drain can’t vent through a typical wall stack. Island sinks require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. While running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, routing the drain and vent through the floor and below the subfloor takes careful planning. We’ve handled many island sink installs and can help you get your layout right before committing. Give us a call.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement early: Moving the sink is the biggest plumbing change; finalize before demolition or cabinet ordering.
- Install gas lines before cabinets: Gas rough-in must be done prior to cabinetry to avoid costly rework.
- Pot filler installation before backsplash: Opening walls is far easier before tiling.
- Replace shutoff valves while accessible: Old gate valves often leak or break; swap with ball valves during remodel.
- Run fridge water line before countertops: Easier to do before the counters are set and secure.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing moves because island sinks need specialized venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, depending on local rules. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor requires planning. We’ve done plenty of island sinks — give us a call at 708-991-8640 before finalizing your kitchen layout.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot — faucets, disposals, or dishwasher hookups — usually no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, doing new supply rough-ins, installing gas lines, or changing the layout, permits are required. We take care of all permits and inspection scheduling as part of our service.
Yes, it’s a job we perform regularly. Doing the gas line rough-in when walls are open during a remodel is the best time. We size and install gas pipes for stoves, cooktops, and ovens, pressure test the system, and handle permits. Schedule your gas line install before cabinets go in to avoid costly modifications later.
Definitely. We work alongside general contractors and kitchen designers as the plumbing subcontractor. We sync our rough-in and finish work with your GC’s schedule and take care of permits and inspections. Call 708-991-8640 to add us early on your planning.
