Expert Kitchen Plumbing for Remodels in Chicago Heights, IL
Kitchen plumbing projects vary widely—from a quick faucet swap or disposal hookup to complex jobs like relocating sinks, running new gas lines for ranges, adding prep sinks, or installing pot fillers. The size of the job affects the cost, how long it takes, and whether permits are necessary. No matter the job size, our team has you covered.
Here’s a pro tip: schedule us before your cabinets arrive. If you’re moving your sink, plumbing reroutes need access to the subfloor. Gas lines for new appliances also need to be roughed in ahead of cabinetry. Pot fillers require opening wall space, which is much simpler before backsplash tile goes in. Starting your plumbing early helps keep your remodel on schedule, especially in homes around Chicago Heights where older construction demands careful planning.
We also handle standalone kitchen plumbing calls—like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs—even if you’re not remodeling. Plus, this is a good time to inspect your water heater’s capacity and clear slow kitchen drains before cabinets cover everything again. Give us a call at 779-217-8261 anytime.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink & Faucet Setup
We install every sink style you can think of—undermount (we coordinate countertop cutouts), drop-in, apron-front farmhouse, single and double bowls, even prep sinks. Our sink installs include drain basket, strainer, P-trap assembly, and secure hot/cold braided stainless supply lines—not the brittle plastic lines you sometimes see. Garbage disposal installation is available as part of this package when needed.
Faucets? We handle all configurations—single-hole, three-hole with deck plates—and always pressure-test to ensure no leaks. Relocating your sink? We’ll reroute drains, vents, and water lines with proper permits and inspections, making it hassle-free for you.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Dishwasher hookups involve connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with an air gap or high loop to prevent contamination, and confirming the electrical setup with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves that are easy to reach, using copper or braided stainless pipe.
We also install instant hot water systems, under-sink filtration units, and reverse osmosis setups, including dedicated faucets and waste connections. Reach out to us at 779-217-8261 for any appliance plumbing tasks.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Equipment
Planning to switch to a gas stove or add a gas cooktop to your kitchen island? We’ll size the line to your appliance’s BTU needs, run piping from your meter or existing gas lines, install a code-approved shutoff valve, and connect appliances with flexible gas connectors. After installation, we pressure test everything and manage permits and inspections to code.
Heads up: install new gas lines before cabinets go in. Running gas pipes around cabinetry is a real headache and costly, especially in Chicago Heights homes where layouts vary widely. Coordinate early with us and your general contractor.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet is super convenient for filling pots right at the stove. We run a cold water supply line inside the wall, about 56 to 60 inches above the floor, near the cooktop. Installing one during a remodel is straightforward since walls are open. If your kitchen’s finished, we can still install a pot filler—we just need to open the wall, then patch and paint or tile afterward. Call us at 779-217-8261 to talk specifics.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks are tricky because their drains don’t tie into wall vents like normal. They require island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drain and vent pipes through the floor takes experience to get right. We’ve done plenty of these installations in the south suburbs—call us before you finalize your island layout to plan correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, it’s doable, but it’s one of the more involved plumbing jobs because island sinks need special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve depending on local codes.

We do this often—give us a call at 779-217-8261 and let’s make sure your island layout works smoothly.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot—like swapping faucets or hooking up a dishwasher—permits usually aren’t required. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout, permits definitely apply. We take care of pulling the necessary permits and scheduling inspections for you.
