Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing Services in New Lenox, IL
Kitchen plumbing work can be straightforward—like swapping out a faucet, installing a new disposal, or hooking up a dishwasher. Or it can be more involved, such as relocating the sink to an island, installing a gas line for a cooktop, adding a prep sink in a pantry, or fitting a pot filler. The extent of the work affects pricing, timing, and permit requirements. Whatever your needs, our team manages it all with experience and care.
Here’s a tip from me: get your plumber involved early, ideally before cabinets are installed. If you plan to move the sink, rerouting the drain is much easier when the subfloor is exposed. Adding a gas line for a new range or island cooktop should happen before cabinetry goes in. Pot filler installation requires access to the wall behind your stove, which is simpler before backsplash tile is applied. Scheduling us early can help avoid delays and extra costs.
We also handle kitchen plumbing service calls outside of remodels — faucet installation, garbage disposal repair, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line runs. Remodeling is a great time to check if your water heater can support new appliances and to tackle slow kitchen drain issues with professional drain cleaning. Give us a call at 779-217-8632 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We fit every kind of kitchen sink: undermount (which requires precise countertop cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse-style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes drain assembly, strainers, P-traps, and reliable water supply connections. We use braided stainless steel supply lines, not older plastic ones that can fail. If you need a garbage disposal installed at the same time, we handle that too, ensuring all connections are watertight.
For faucets, we install all styles and accommodate various mounting setups—single-hole, three-hole, or deck-plate mounts—and perform pressure testing before signing off. Moving your sink to a new spot means rerouting drains, modifying vents, and extending supply lines. We manage the entire process, including getting the necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections involve tying into your hot water supply, routing the drain hose properly with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and confirming adequate electrical provisions (we’ll coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or braided stainless steel with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO systems, we drill a dedicated faucet hole, connect supply and waste lines, and advise on filter upkeep. Reach out at 779-217-8632 for any kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking about switching to gas or adding a cooktop on an island? We install properly sized gas lines based on the appliance’s BTU requirements. We run pipe from your gas main, install shut-off valves, connect appliances with flexible gas connectors, and perform pressure testing to ensure safety. We handle all permits and inspections to keep the job code-compliant. For details, check out our gas line services page.
Important note for planning: install gas lines before cabinets go in. Trying to add or reroute gas pipes after cabinetry is in place can be a real headache, often requiring cutting into finished walls or flooring. Work with your general contractor and us early to avoid surprises.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers mount on the wall near your stove so you can fill pots right at the cooktop, saving trips back and forth to the sink. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and a few inches off center from the range. During remodels, it’s a quick job since walls are open. If your kitchen is finished, installation takes more work to open and repair the wall or tile afterward. Call 779-217-8632 to talk through your setup.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks present unique challenges because the drain can’t vent through the wall like standard sinks. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) to maintain code compliance, depending on local requirements. While the hot and cold water supply lines run straightforwardly from nearby mains, routing the drain and vent beneath the floor and back up through the island needs careful planning. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks in New Lenox homes—call us early to map out your layout.

Tips for Scheduling Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location early: Moving it is the most costly plumbing change—lock it down before demo and cabinet orders.
- Gas line rough-in first: For new gas appliance locations or island cooktops, get this done before cabinets arrive.
- Pot filler before backsplash: Easier to install before tile is in place to avoid cutting walls later.
- Upgrade shutoffs during construction: Replace old gate valves with reliable ball valves while plumbing is exposed.
- Run ice maker lines early: Easier to add refrigerator water lines before countertops go in.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing tasks because island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running supply lines is pretty straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes must be carefully routed through the floor. We’ve done many island sink installations here in New Lenox. Give us a call at 779-217-8632 before finalizing your island design.
Minor work like replacing a faucet, disposal, or hooking up a dishwasher in the same location typically doesn’t require a permit. But any rerouting of drain or supply lines, new gas line installs, or significant layout changes do require permits. We take care of the permitting process and inspections to make sure everything’s up to code.
Yes, that’s one of our specialties. We size and install gas lines for stoves, ovens, and cooktops, perform pressure tests, and handle permits. It’s best to schedule this work before cabinets are installed so access is easy. If you’re planning a gas appliance, talk to us early to fit us into your remodeling timeline.
