Complete Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing Services in Northlake, IL
Kitchen plumbing work can be simple or complex depending on your remodel plans—from swapping out faucets and hooking up a new disposal, to relocating the sink, running new gas lines, or installing a pot filler faucet. The scope of work influences cost, timeline, and permitting needs. Whatever your project, our team has the experience to handle it.
Here’s a tip: get your plumber involved early, before the cabinets go in. If you’re moving the sink, drain rerouting needs access to the subfloor. Gas lines for new ranges or cooktops must be roughed in before cabinetry. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall behind the stove, so it’s best done before backsplash installation. Scheduling your plumbing work early helps keep your remodel on track and prevents costly delays.
We also offer stand-alone kitchen plumbing services like faucet replacements, disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs. Remodeling is a great time to check your water heater capacity and clear any slow kitchen drains. Give us a call at 708-773-5709 for help with any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle all types of kitchen sinks — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes assembling drains, strainers, P-traps, and connecting braided stainless steel water lines instead of brittle plastic ones that fail over time. We also install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we install every style and configuration—single-hole, three-hole, deck-mounted—and test everything under pressure before we finish. Moving a sink to a new spot is a bigger job involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extensions. We do all of it with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers to hot water supply and drain lines, making sure the drain hose has the proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. While electrical is separate, we coordinate if you need that done. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or braided stainless steel with an accessible shut-off valve behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems—drilling faucet holes, connecting supply and waste lines, and advising on filter changes. Call 708-773-5709 for reliable appliance plumbing service.
Gas Line Installation for Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop? We install gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU rating, running piping from your gas meter or existing line, installing shutoff valves, and connecting appliances using flexible code-approved connectors. We pressure test everything and handle all permits and inspections to keep your system safe and compliant. Check out our gas line services page for details.
Important: gas line work must be done before cabinetry is installed, especially for island appliances. Retrofitting gas lines through finished cabinets is difficult and costly, so plan with us and your contractor early.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet above your stove adds real convenience. It needs a cold water supply line routed inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and roughly 4 inches off center from the range. This is easiest during remodels when drywall is open, but we can carefully install in finished kitchens with minimal mess. Call 708-773-5709 to explore the best option for your kitchen.
Island Sink & Drain Solutions
Installing a sink in a kitchen island requires special venting solutions, since you can’t tie into a wall vent stack like a standard sink. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drains and vents through the floor and under the subfloor takes detailed planning and skill. We work on island sink plumbing regularly and can help you design it right before finalizing your plans.

Tips for Scheduling Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement before demolition: Moving sinks is costly—lock in the location before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas piping to islands or new locations must happen early.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Opening walls is easier before tile work begins.
- Replace old shutoff valves while accessible: Swap fragile gate valves for ball valves during plumbing exposure.
- Run fridge water lines ahead of countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines before counters are set.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Yes, but it’s a fairly involved plumbing update. Island sinks need special venting, either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. The water supply is straightforward to run, but the drain and vent lines require careful routing under the floor. We’ve done this often, so call us at 708-773-5709 to discuss your kitchen layout before you finalize plans.
If you’re only swapping out fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, usually no permit is required. But any rerouting of drain lines, adding new water supply lines, gas line installation, or changing the kitchen layout needs permits. We take care of the permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Absolutely. We install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens—all sized correctly, pressure-tested, and permitted. Having this done while walls are open during a remodel is best. Schedule your gas pipe rough-in before cabinetry gets installed to avoid expensive retrofits.
Yes, we commonly partner with general contractors and kitchen designers as the plumbing specialist. We coordinate timing for rough-in and finish plumbing to fit your remodel timeline and handle permitting too. Call 708-773-5709 early to get us scheduled.
