Reliable Kitchen Plumbing Work in Fox River Grove, IL
Kitchen plumbing projects can vary widely — from quick faucet swaps and disposal hookups to full-scale rough-ins involving sink relocation, gas line installation, adding prep sinks, or pot filler plumbing. The size of the job dictates the labor, timeline, and if permits are necessary. No matter the job, we’ve got it covered.
My recommendation for your remodel: get your plumber involved early—before cabinets are installed. If the sink is moving, plumbing reroutes should happen with access to the subfloor. Gas lines for new ranges or island cooktops must be roughed in before cabinetry is in place. Pot filler installs require wall access behind the stove, so timing is important. Planning plumbing early keeps your remodel on track, especially with Fox River Grove’s older homes where retrofit jobs need foresight.
We also offer individual kitchen plumbing services outside of remodeling, like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs. Kitchen remodel time is a great opportunity to test your water heater’s capacity for extra appliances and clear slow drains before new cabinets trap any leaks. Reach out at 224-333-2665 anytime.
Kitchen Plumbing Services We Handle
Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle all kitchen sink types — undermount (which requires precise countertop cuts), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and robust supply connections. We use braided stainless steel supply lines, not brittle plastic ones, to ensure longevity. When applicable, we install garbage disposals simultaneously.
For faucets, we support all mounting styles (single hole, three hole, deck plates), test for leaks under pressure, and guarantee proper function. If you want to move your sink to a new spot, that involves rerouting drains and vents with the right permits — we manage every step.
Dishwasher and Appliance Plumbing
Connecting dishwashers includes hooking up hot water supply lines, running drain hoses with either an air gap or a proper high loop to prevent backflow, and verifying electrical readiness (we coordinate with electricians). For fridge ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves easily accessed behind the appliance.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we’ll fit the dedicated faucet, connect supply and waste lines, and explain filter upkeep. Call us at 224-333-2665 for all kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Cooking Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop? We install new gas lines appropriately sized for your appliance’s BTUs, run the pipe from your meter or gas main, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible connectors, pressure test the system, and take care of permits and inspections. Check out our gas line services page for details.
One tip: get your gas line roughed in before cabinets go in. Adding or rerouting gas lines after cabinetry installation can be a real headache and cause avoidable damage. We’ll work with your contractor and schedule to make it smooth.
Installation of Pot Filler Faucets
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above your stove, making it easy to fill pots without lugging heavy water from the sink. We run a cold water supply inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor, roughly 4 inches alongside the range center. It’s simplest to install during remodels when walls are open, but we can also retrofit in finished kitchens with some wall patching and painting or tile work. Give us a call to discuss.
Island Sink Plumbing and Venting
Island sinks are tricky because the drain can’t connect to a traditional wall vent stack. Instead, we install an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. The water supply runs hot and cold lines from the nearest source, but routing the drain and vent through the floor and subfloor back up into the island cabinet takes precise planning. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs and can guide you through the process before you finalize your kitchen layout.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions & Answers
Yes, that’s a popular upgrade but it’s one of the trickiest plumbing jobs since island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running water supply is straightforward, but drain and vent lines take careful planning through the floor. We’re experienced with this work—call 224-333-2665 to discuss your layout before you settle the design.
If you’re replacing fixtures in the same spot, like swapping faucets or disposals, permits usually aren’t required. But any drain rerouting, new supply runs, gas line work, or changes to the kitchen layout definitely require permits. We handle securing those permits and scheduling inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Yes, installing gas lines during remodeling is the best time. We size and install gas piping for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, perform pressure tests, and coordinate permits and inspections. It’s important to get this rough-in completed before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework. See our gas line services page for more details.
