Kitchen Plumbing Services for Your Park Forest, IL Remodel
From quick fixture swaps like installing a new faucet and garbage disposal to extensive projects involving repositioning sinks, installing gas lines, or prepping pot fillers, kitchen remodel plumbing covers a wide range. Your project’s size defines cost, scheduling, and whether we'll need permits. Regardless of the job’s size, you can count on us to get it done right.
Here’s a tip when you call us at 708-726-9270: get your plumber involved early, ideally before cabinets are installed. For example, if you’re relocating the sink, the drain and supply lines need to be rerouted with the subfloor accessible. Adding a gas line for a new stove or island should be done before cabinetry goes in. Pot filler installations require opening the wall behind the stove, which is easiest before backsplash tile is up. Planning with us early prevents costly delays later.
We also provide stand-alone kitchen plumbing services, like faucet changes, disposal repairs or replacements, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines—even if no full remodel is planned. Plus, a kitchen remodel is a perfect time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear out any slow drains before cabinets are installed. Contact us at 708-726-9270 anytime.
What Kitchen Plumbing Jobs We Handle
Kitchen Sink and Faucet Setup
We install any style of kitchen sink: undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, or prep sinks. Installation includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting hot and cold water lines with braided stainless steel supply hoses—not those brittle plastic lines. When needed, we install and hook up garbage disposals in the same visit.
We handle faucet installations across all configurations—whether 1-hole, 3-hole, or with deck plates—and test every connection under pressure. If you’re moving the sink to a new spot, we’ll reroute drain lines, adjust vents, and extend supply piping with all proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers by running hot water lines and routing drain hoses with high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. While electrical work is an electrician’s job, we coordinate to ensure connections are compatible. For refrigerators with ice makers, we install dedicated cold water lines, using copper or braided stainless steel tubing with shutoff valves accessible behind the unit.
Additionally, we install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we install the dedicated faucet on the sink or countertop and connect supply and drain lines, then walk you through cartridge changes and maintenance. Whatever appliance hookup you need in your kitchen, give us a call at 708-726-9270.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Whether converting an electric range to gas or adding a cooktop to your island, we install gas lines sized properly for the appliance’s BTU rating. We route piping from the gas meter, fit shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible, code-approved connectors, then pressure test the system for leaks. We also handle all permits and inspections required by local codes. Visit our gas line services page to learn more about our safety procedures.
Important: if you’re adding a gas line to a new island location, get that installed before cabinetry is put in place. Retrofitting gas lines in finished kitchens is a real headache and adds unnecessary cost. Coordinate early with us and your general contractor.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above your stove, so you can fill pots without hauling water across the kitchen. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall roughly 56–60 inches from the floor and offset a few inches from the stove centerline. This is easiest during a remodel when walls are open, but we can also retrofit in finished kitchens with some wall patching and paint or tile repair. Call 708-726-9270 to discuss your setup.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Installing a sink on a kitchen island requires special venting since you can’t tie into wall vents like a typical sink. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) depending on your local code. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drains through the floor and up into the cabinet requires precise planning. We’ve handled many island sink projects; give us a call to review your plans before finalizing the layout.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving the sink is one of the most involved plumbing changes— finalize placement before ordering cabinetry.
- Run gas lines before cabinets: Installing gas piping to new locations must happen before cabinetry goes in to avoid costly retrofits.
- Pot filler installation before backsplash: Wall access is much easier before tile or backsplash materials are applied.
- Update shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with modern ball valves during the remodel for better reliability.
- Refrigerator water lines before counters: Running ice maker lines before countertops are set simplifies the job and reduces risk.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodel Plumbing
Yes, but relocating a sink to an island is one of the more complicated plumbing jobs because you need special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Supplying hot and cold water is simpler, but the drain lines have to be routed carefully through the floor. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks here in Park Forest. Call us at 708-726-9270 to chat about your island setup before you finalize your plans.
If you’re swapping fixtures in the same spot like replacing a faucet or hooking up a dishwasher, usually no permit is required. But if you’re rerouting drain lines, installing new supply piping, or running gas lines, permits are necessary. We take care of all permitting and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
