Complete Kitchen Plumbing Remodels in Hazel Crest, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be a quick fix like installing a new faucet or disposal, or a bigger job like moving the sink to an island, adding a gas supply for a new range, or prepping for a pot filler faucet. The size of the job affects the timeline, cost, and if permits are needed. We oversee the entire process.
Here’s my tip: book your plumber early—before cabinets go in. Rerouting drains for a relocated sink works best when floors are open. Gas line installs for ranges or islands must happen before cabinets are set. Pot filler faucets need wall access behind the stove, ideally before tile or backsplash goes up. Getting us scheduled early helps keep your remodel on track and avoids delays.
We also handle standalone kitchen plumbing jobs outside of remodels — faucet swaps, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher installations, or fridge water line setups. It’s a great time during a remodel to check your water heater’s capacity or clear any slow kitchen drains before everything’s closed in. Reach out at 708-742-8901 for service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Setup
We install all sink styles—undermounts (working with countertops), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single and double bowls, plus prep sinks. Installation includes assembling drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting supply lines using braided stainless steel for durability. Garbage disposal installations are handled simultaneously when needed.
Faucets come in various mounting styles (1-hole, 3-hole, deck-mounted), and we make sure they’re sealed and pressure-tested. Moving a sink involves more work: adjusting the drain line, venting, and extending hot/cold supplies, all permitted and inspected. We've got that covered.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Hooking up your dishwasher includes connecting hot water supplies, routing drains with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and confirming electrical hookups. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or stainless steel, with accessible shutoff valves.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems. For RO units, we install the special faucet, connect supply and drain lines, and provide guidance on filter changes. Call us at 708-742-8901 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installations for Cooking Appliances
Converting to gas or adding gas cooktops? We size and install gas piping from your meter or main line, add shutoff valves, fit flexible connectors to appliances, and complete pressure testing. We handle permits and inspections to keep your home safe and code-compliant. Check out our gas line services page for more on how we manage these installs.
Important note: install gas lines before cabinets go in to avoid costly and invasive work later. Talk to your contractor and us early to coordinate.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above the range adds convenience by letting you fill pots right at the stove. It requires running a cold water supply inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and slightly offset from the cooktop’s center. Installing one during a remodel is simpler since walls are open. We can also retrofit finished kitchens with minimal mess. Call to discuss your needs at 708-742-8901.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks are tricky since their drains can’t tie into standard wall vents. They need special venting like island loop vents or air admittance valves—depending on local code. We run hot and cold supplies from the nearest main line and carefully route drains and vents below the floor and back up into the island cabinetry. We’ve done plenty of island installations and can help plan your layout before final decisions.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Finalize sink location before demolition: Moving sinks is costly; decide early to avoid surprises
- Gas lines must be roughed-in before cabinets: Easier and less invasive when walls and floors are open
- Pot filler faucet installation before backsplash: Opening walls before tiling reduces patchwork
- Replace shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Older gate valves tend to fail; upgrade to ball valves
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: Easier access means cleaner installation
Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, you can relocate your sink to an island, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing jobs. Island sinks need special venting—like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve—to prevent drain issues. While running the supply lines is straightforward, routing the drain through the floor requires careful planning. We do these installations often, so give us a call at 708-742-8901 and we’ll walk you through what’s involved.
Simple replacements like swapping a faucet or replacing a disposal usually don’t need permits. But if you’re rerouting drain lines, adding new supply plumbing, or installing gas lines, a permit is required. We take care of all the paperwork and inspections to make sure everything’s done by the book.
Absolutely. The best time to add or upgrade gas lines is during a remodel when walls are open. We size and install gas lines properly, test for leaks, and handle permits. Be sure to schedule this early so the gas rough-in is completed before cabinets go in.
