Plumbing for Your Kitchen Remodel in Homer Glen, IL
Kitchen plumbing work during remodeling can be as quick as swapping out a faucet and hooking up a new garbage disposal, or as complex as relocating the sink to an island, installing gas lines for a new range, or adding a pot filler faucet. The complexity impacts the cost, how long it takes, and whether permits are necessary. No matter the job size, our team is ready to tackle it.
Here's my recommendation: contact us at 708-726-3053 early—ideally before your cabinets go in. Moving a sink means rerouting drains and supply lines best done when the subfloor is still exposed. Gas line runs for stoves or cooktops should happen before cabinetry installation to avoid extra demolition later. Pot fillers require wall access behind the stove, so scheduling that before the backsplash is tiled is key. Early involvement saves headaches down the road.
We also take service calls for standalone kitchen plumbing jobs like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwashers hookups, and refrigerator water lines in existing kitchens. Kitchen remodels are a perfect chance to check if your water heater can keep up with new demands or clear out any slow drains before cabinets go back in. Give us a call at 708-726-3053 anytime.
Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle every type of kitchen sink—undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our installation includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting braided stainless steel supply lines for durability and leak resistance. If you need a garbage disposal installed alongside, we can manage that in the same visit.
For faucets, we fit all styles and mounting types, whether it's a single-hole or a deck-plate setup, ensuring everything is sealed and pressure-tested. If your project involves moving the sink, we’ll take care of drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and extending supply lines—all with the proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Other Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installations require connecting the hot water line and routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to stop backflow. We check the electrical setup too, working alongside your electrician as needed. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with easy-access shutoffs behind the unit.
Additionally, we install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we fit the dedicated faucet, connect both supply and drain lines, and provide guidance on filter upkeep. Call us at 708-726-3053 for any kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas? We install properly sized gas lines for ranges, ovens, and cooktops, running pipes from your existing gas supply, adding shutoff valves, and connecting appliances with code-approved flexible connectors. After installation, we pressure-test the system and handle permits and inspections to keep everything safe and compliant.
If you're adding a gas line to an island or a new appliance location, make sure this happens before cabinets are in place—it's much more challenging to retrofit later. Coordinate your GC and our team early to keep your project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove lets you fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. It needs a cold water supply line inside the wall roughly 56 to 60 inches off the floor and slightly offset from the stove center. The installation is straightforward during remodeling when walls are open. For finished kitchens, we can still install one by opening a small section of wall and patching it up afterward. Call us for an evaluation.
Island Sink Plumbing & Venting
Island sinks require special venting solutions since their drains can’t connect to wall vents in the usual way. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes must be carefully routed under the floor and up through the island cabinet. We've handled plenty of setups like this—reach out to talk through your island plans before finalizing your layout.

Frequently Asked Kitchen Plumbing Questions
Yes, you can move the sink to the island, but it’s a more involved plumbing job. Island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drain and vent must be routed properly through the floor. We’ve done many island sink installations.
