Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services in Elmwood Park, IL
Kitchen plumbing remodels can be quick fixes — like swapping out a faucet or hooking up a new garbage disposal — or they can be longer projects requiring rerouting drains, supply lines, and gas piping. For example, moving your sink to an island or adding a pot filler faucet behind the range takes more time and planning. Costs, schedules, and permit needs vary accordingly, and we’ll guide you through every step.
Before your cabinetry goes in, give us a call at 708-729-8973. It’s best to have plumbing lined up early, especially if you’re relocating fixtures. Drain rerouting needs access below the subfloor, and gas lines must be roughed in before cabinets are installed. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind your stove, which is much easier before tile or backsplash goes up. Planning ahead with your plumber keeps your remodel on track and avoids costly surprises.
We also handle stand-alone kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades, from faucet replacements and garbage disposal repairs to dishwasher and refrigerator water line hookups, even if you’re not remodeling. It’s also a good moment to check that your water heater can support new appliance loads and get any slow drains cleaned out before everything is built back in. Call 708-729-8973 anytime for expert kitchen plumbing help.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installations
We install all styles of kitchen sinks—undermounts paired with countertops, drop-ins, farmhouse fronts, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our service includes assembling drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting water supplies with durable braided stainless steel lines—not brittle plastic. If you need a garbage disposal installed alongside, we handle that too.
When relocating your sink, we reroute drain pipes, adjust venting, and extend hot and cold water lines as needed, handling permits and inspections for this more complex job. We install faucets of every type, prepare the mounting surfaces, and pressure test connections before finishing the job.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We take care of connecting your dishwasher’s hot water supply and setting up the drain hose with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. We also inspect the electrical connection to make sure it’s safe and coordinate with electricians when necessary. For refrigerators, we run dedicated cold water lines for ice makers and filtered water dispensers, using copper or braided stainless piping with accessible shutoff valves.
Additional appliance installs include instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. We install dedicated faucets for RO systems and help you understand ongoing maintenance. Call us at 708-729-8973 for all your kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch from electric to gas, or adding a gas cooktop in a kitchen island? We install gas lines sized exactly for your appliance's BTU rating, running pipe from the gas meter or existing supply. Our work includes installing gas shutoff valves, flexible code-approved connectors, and pressure testing the system. We handle all permitting and inspections for your peace of mind.
If you want a gas line to a new island or relocated appliance, schedule this work before cabinetry goes in. Trying to add a gas line after cabinets are installed means tearing things up and added expense. We’ll coordinate with your GC to fit this work into the proper phase.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove makes filling pots convenient without carrying heavy water. This requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56–60 inches from the floor and offset slightly from the range center. We install pot fillers most smoothly during remodels with open walls but can also work in finished kitchens with careful wall openings and patching. Reach out at 708-729-8973 to see what fits your setup.
Island Sink Plumbing Expertise
Island sinks pose a challenge because the drain and vent can’t connect to wall stacks like normal. They require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. We run hot and cold water supply lines into the island and carefully plan drain and vent piping underneath the floor. We’ve handled many island sink installations and can help design yours for proper drainage and venting.

- Gas rough-in before cabinets: Install gas lines for islands or new appliance locations before cabinetry goes in.
- Pot filler faucet early: Open walls before backsplash to run supply lines easily.
- Upgrade shutoffs while exposed: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during remodeling for reliability.
- Fridge water line before counters: Easier installation before countertops are set.
Kitchen Remodel Plumbing FAQs
Yes, moving your sink to an island is doable but requires special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). The water supply lines are simple enough, but draining and venting involves careful below-floor routing. We install island sinks regularly—call 708-729-8973 so we can review your plans before you finalize your design.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot—like replacing a faucet or disposal—permits usually aren’t needed. But for anything involving drain line rerouting, new supply pipe installation, gas line work, or layout changes, permits apply. We take care of the entire permitting process and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
