Complete Kitchen Plumbing Solutions in West Chicago, IL
Whether you're just replacing a faucet or disposal, or taking on a full kitchen renovation involving sink relocation, gas line installation, or adding a pot filler, the plumbing tasks vary widely. These factors influence your schedule, cost, and permitting needs. No matter your project size, our team can handle everything professionally.
My recommendation when planning your remodel: Schedule the plumbers early — before cabinets arrive. Moving sinks requires access to the subfloor for drain rerouting. New gas lines for ranges or cooktops have to be roughed in before cabinetry goes up. Installing a pot filler faucet calls for wall access behind your stove before tiling. Planning ahead avoids costly delays and rework.
Aside from remodels, we also offer standalone kitchen plumbing services such as faucet swaps, disposal repairs, dishwasher connections, and refrigerator water line installs. Remodeling is also a good chance to check if your water heater can keep up with new appliances, or to clear slow kitchen drains before cabinets are reinstalled. Reach out at 630-937-3148 anytime to discuss your needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install every sink style including undermounts (coordinated with your countertop fabricator), drop-in sinks, farmhouse/apron front, single and double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and secure hot and cold water connections using durable braided stainless steel lines, avoiding cheap plastic alternatives prone to failure. We also fit garbage disposals during the same visit when requested.
For faucets, we handle all kinds — single-hole, three-hole, with or without deck plates — and perform pressure tests to ensure leak-free operation. If you want to relocate your sink, that involves drain and vent modifications and rerouting supply lines, complete with proper permits and inspections. We’ve got you covered at every step.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Hooking up your dishwasher involves connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent drain water backflow, and verifying that the electrical supply is safe and properly connected (the electrician handles wiring, but we coordinate closely). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines, using copper or braided stainless steel, installed with shutoff valves accessible at the back of the unit.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, this includes faucet installation through your countertop or sink deck, plus connecting supply and waste lines. Give us a call at 630-937-3148 for any appliance hookup questions or work.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking about switching to gas? Whether it's a new gas range, cooktop, or oven, we size and install the gas line correctly based on your appliance’s BTU requirements. The line is routed from your meter or existing supply, complete with a shutoff valve, flexible connector, and we conduct a thorough pressure test to ensure safety. We manage all permits and inspections too. Visit our gas line services page for more technical details and safety information.
Important tip: If your gas line runs to an island or new appliance location, get this done before cabinets get installed. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry is in place is far more costly and invasive. Plan ahead with your general contractor and us to keep your remodel on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet is mounted on the wall above your stove, letting you fill pots without lugging heavy water containers across the kitchen. It requires a cold water supply line installed inside the wall, about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and roughly 4 inches off center from the range. Installing during a remodel while walls are open is straightforward. For finished kitchens, we carefully open the wall, install the line and faucet, then patch, paint, or retile as needed. Call 630-937-3148 to explore your options.
Island Sink Installation & Drain Venting
Plumbing for island sinks is trickier since you can’t vent the drain through a wall stack like normal. Instead, an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) must be installed, depending on local code. Water supply runs are straightforward from nearby mains, but the drain and vent lines have to be carefully routed under the floor and back up into the island cabinetry. We’ve done this many times and can help you design the best configuration before you finalize your island plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving the sink adds complexity and cost — lock it down early
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinet delivery: Running gas lines after cabinets is difficult and disruptive
- Install pot filler before backsplash tiles go up: Easier to access walls before finishing
- Upgrade shutoff valves while lines are exposed: Replace old gate valves with durable ball valves to avoid future leaks
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: Easier access before counters are installed
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the more involved changes since island sinks require special venting methods like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running supply lines is simpler, but the drain and vent need careful planning and installation under the floor. We’ve done plenty of these and can help you get it right. Call 630-937-3148 to talk through your island design.
If you're just swapping fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, a permit usually isn't necessary. But rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, moving sinks, or adding gas lines all require permits and inspections. We handle the paperwork and scheduling to make it easy for you.
Definitely. The best time for gas line work is during remodeling when walls are open. We install and pressure test gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, all up to code and with the necessary permits. Just make sure this happens before cabinets go in to avoid extra hassle.
