Complete Kitchen Plumbing for Remodels in Palos Hills, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen re-plumb with sink relocation, gas pipe installation, and multiple prep sinks, we’re equipped to get it done. The project's size influences the cost, timeline, and permit requirements, but no matter the task, our team takes care of it efficiently.
Planning tip: it’s best to bring a plumber onboard before cabinetry is installed. Moving sinks means drain lines must be accessible before subfloors are covered. Gas line rough-ins for new ranges or islands have to happen before cabinets go in. Pot fillers need wall access before backsplash tile is set. Scheduling us early avoids delays and extra work.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing services like faucet installs, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and water line installations for refrigerators, even if you’re not remodeling. While you’re at it, check if your water heater can meet new appliance demands or if your kitchen drains need clearing before closing walls. Call us at 708-729-6343 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks: undermount (with proper countertop coordination), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our work includes assembling drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting hot and cold braided stainless steel supply lines—not those brittle plastic ones prone to leaks. We can also install or replace garbage disposals during the same visit.
Faucet installs cover every mounting style—single hole, three-hole, or deck-mounted—and we pressure-test to ensure no leaks. If you’re moving the sink to a new spot, we reroute drains, vents, and supplies with all permits and inspections properly handled.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher plumbing includes connecting hot water supply lines, routing drain hoses with air gaps or high loops to prevent backflow, and checking your electrical setup (we coordinate with electricians). We run cold water lines for refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, using copper or braided stainless tubing with accessible shutoff valves behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filters, and reverse osmosis water systems, handling faucet installs and plumbing connections for these appliances. Contact us at 708-729-6343 for all your kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas for cooking? We install gas lines for ranges, ovens, and cooktops, sizing piping for your appliance’s BTU requirements. We route lines from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, use code-approved flexible connectors, pressure test the system, and handle permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for details on how we keep your gas connections safe and up to code.
Keep in mind: gas line installations must happen before cabinets go in, especially if you’re running lines to an island or new appliance location. It’s far easier to install pipes before cabinetry locks everything in place. Coordinate with your general contractor and us early to avoid headaches.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted over your stove makes filling large pots convenient without carrying heavy water across the kitchen. It requires a cold water line inside the wall at roughly 56 to 60 inches off the floor, about 4 inches from the range centerline. This is straightforward during remodels when walls are open. Retrofits in finished kitchens require cutting into walls, patching, and repainting or retiling. Give us a call to discuss your options at 708-729-6343.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Solutions
Installing a sink on a kitchen island takes extra planning. Since you don’t have a nearby wall vent, island sinks require either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Running hot and cold supplies is straightforward, but routing drains and vents through the floor and subfloor back to the island cabinet is more complex. We’ve installed many island sinks in Palos Hills homes and can help design the plumbing to fit your layout perfectly.

Kitchen Plumbing FAQ
Yes, though moving the sink to an island is more complex because you need to install special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Supply lines are easy to run, but the drain vent needs careful routing through the floor. We do this regularly in Palos Hills homes. Contact us at 708-729-6343 to review your island’s plumbing needs before finalizing your design.
For simple fixture swaps like faucets, disposals, or hooking up a dishwasher in the same spot, permits usually aren’t required. But any work involving drain line moves, rough-ins for new supply lines, or gas line installations does require permits. We take care of obtaining permits and scheduling inspections as part of our service.
Definitely. Installing a gas line during a kitchen remodel is ideal since walls are open, making routing much simpler. We size, install, and pressure test all gas lines to code, and handle all permitting. Be sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid expensive rework.
Yes, we commonly work as plumbing subcontractors on kitchen remodels. We coordinate timing with general contractors and designers to keep plumbing rough-ins and final installs on schedule, and manage permits and inspections. Give us a call at 708-729-6343 early to get us involved.
