Kitchen Remodel Plumbing Services in Chicago Ridge, IL
Kitchen plumbing for remodels can be straightforward—like swapping out a faucet or connecting a new disposal—or more involved work, such as relocating the sink to an island, running new gas lines for stoves, installing a prep sink, or roughing in a pot filler faucet. The scale of your project will impact cost, timing, and permit requirements. No matter the scope, we have the skills to manage it smoothly.
Here’s my tip: get us involved early, ideally before your cabinets are installed. Moving sinks means rerouting drains and vents, which is much easier with open access under the subfloor. Gas line installations for stoves or cooktops should be roughed in prior to cabinet installation too. Pot filler faucet setups require wall access behind the stove, so that’s simpler before backsplash tiles go up. Scheduling us ahead helps keep your project on track and prevents last-minute headaches.
We also offer kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside of remodels—faucet swaps, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and fridge water line installations. While you're renovating, it’s a great time to check your water heater's capacity and clear out slow kitchen drain issues before everything is sealed up. Give us a call at 708-847-6710, and we’ll get your plumbing in shape.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks — undermount (with careful countertop coordination), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single and double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and supply line connections. We use braided stainless steel supply lines for durability, not the brittle ribbed plastic ones. Garbage disposal installation is often bundled with sink setup for your convenience.
Faucet installations cover all mounting styles—single-hole, three-hole, deck-mounted—and we pressure test each faucet before finishing. Relocating a sink to a new spot takes more work with rerouted drains, vents, and supply lines, but that’s well within our expertise, permits included.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher plumbing involves connecting the hot water supply, installing a proper drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow contamination, and confirming the electrical supply (which your electrician handles, but we coordinate). For refrigerators equipped with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines from the nearest supply, using copper or braided stainless steel with an accessible shutoff valve behind the unit.
We also install water filtration systems, instant hot water dispensers, and reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, we fit the faucet on the sink deck, link supply and drain lines, and walk you through regular filter maintenance. Need any appliance plumbed? Call us at 708-847-6710.
Gas Line Installations for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading to a gas range or adding a cooktop in a new location? We handle the full gas line installation—sizing pipe to match your appliance’s BTUs, routing from your main gas supply, fitting shutoff valves, connecting with code-approved flexible connectors, pressure testing, and managing permits and inspections. Check out our gas line services page for details on our process and safety protocols.
Important: gas line runs to islands or new range spots must happen before cabinets go in. Trying to add or adjust gas piping after cabinetry is installed means a lot more disruption. Coordinate this early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts to the wall above your stove, letting you fill pots directly on the cooktop without lugging heavy pans across the kitchen. Installing one requires running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and roughly 4 inches off center from the stove. It’s a quick job during a remodel with open walls, but installing in a finished kitchen means cutting into walls, patching, and refinishing surfaces. Let’s chat about your setup—call 708-847-6710.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Plumbing for an island sink can be tricky since the drain can’t connect to a wall vent like usual. Solutions include an island loop vent or installing an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but drain and vent piping under the floor and back up through the cabinetry takes planning. We’re experienced with this and ready to help you get it right before finalizing your island design.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Finalize sink location before demolition: Since moving the sink is a big plumbing change, lock this in before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas lines for new island or range locations must be roughed in ahead of cabinetry
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Opening behind the stove is easier before tile is installed
- Replace shutoff valves while accessible: Swap out old gate valves for ball valves when plumbing is exposed
- Run fridge water line before countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines prior to setting counters
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, we can move the sink to an island. This is one of the more complicated plumbing jobs because island drains require special venting solutions like island loop vents or air admittance valves. While water supply lines are straightforward to run, routing the drain through the subfloor needs precise work. We handle these projects often—call 708-847-6710 to discuss your island plans before final layouts.
If you’re simply replacing fixtures in the same spot—like faucets or disposals—permits often aren’t needed. But any rerouting of drains, new supply lines, gas line installations, or layout changes will require permits. We take care of permit applications and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
