Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in La Grange, IL
Whether you're swapping out a kitchen faucet or planning to relocate the sink to an island, kitchen plumbing remodels vary widely. It could be a quick afternoon fix—installing a new faucet, hooking up a disposal, or connecting the dishwasher—or it might be a large project involving running new gas lines, adding prep sinks, or roughing in a pot filler. The work scope impacts the price, schedule, and necessary permits. No matter the task, we handle it with skill.
Here's my tip: get your plumber involved early—before cabinets are set. Relocating a sink means the drain and supply lines need access beneath the floor or walls, which is much easier before finishes go in. Installing a gas line for your new stove? That rough-in must happen before cabinetry arrives. Pot filler faucets need the wall opened behind the range, so plan accordingly. Bringing us onboard early helps save headaches and delays.
We also offer kitchen plumbing service calls outside of remodels—faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines. Kitchen upgrades are a great time to check your water heater capacity or clear slow drains before closing up cabinets. Give us a call anytime at 708-809-8796.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services in Detail
Sink and Faucet Installation
We handle all kinds of kitchen sinks—undermount sinks that require careful countertop cutouts, drop-in sinks, farmhouse/apron fronts, single and double bowls, even prep sinks. Installation includes fitting drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting braided stainless steel supply lines—not the brittle plastic stuff. If you want a garbage disposal installed along with your sink, we take care of that too.
Faucet installs cover every mounting style, whether it's single-hole, 3-hole setups, or deck plates. We pressure-test everything before finishing. Moving a sink to a new spot means rerouting the drain, adjusting vent pipes, and extending supply lines. That’s a bigger job, but we manage the required permits and inspections .
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Connecting your dishwasher means hooking up the hot water supply, routing the drain line with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and making sure your electrical system is ready—our plumbers coordinate with electricians as needed. We install dedicated water lines for ice makers and water dispensers on refrigerators using copper or stainless braided tubing, always with accessible shutoff valves.
We’re also experienced with installing instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO filters, we set up faucets on your sink deck, connect supply and drain lines, and explain maintenance. Call us at 708-809-8796 for any appliance connection needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to a gas range or adding a cooktop? We handle the gas line work from start to finish. That means sizing pipe to match appliance BTU ratings, running it from your gas meter or existing supply, installing a shutoff valve, connecting with code-approved flex connectors, pressure testing, and securing permits and inspections. Check our gas line services for more on how we do it safely.
Keep in mind: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinets go in. Installing gas piping after cabinetry is a headache and messier. Coordinate this step early with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are a great convenience, mounted on the wall above your stove so you can fill pots without lugging them from the sink. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and near the cooktop. This is easiest when walls are wide open during a remodel. In finished rooms, we carefully open the wall, install the line and faucet, then patch and finish the surface. Contact us at 708-809-8796 to chat about your setup.
Island Sink Installation & Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island is trickier because island drains can’t tie into vents like wall sinks do. We use island vent loops or air admittance valves (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water supply is straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes have to be routed under the floor and back up through the island cabinetry. We’re familiar with these challenges and can help you plan the best solution for your island sink plumbing.

- Replace shutoff valves while accessible: Swap old gate valves for reliable ball valves during the remodel.
- Run refrigerator water line early: Easier to install before countertops are set.
Kitchen Plumbing Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, moving a sink to an island is doable but involves extra complexity. Island sinks need special venting—like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV)—because they aren’t connected to a wall vent stack. The supply lines are straightforward, but the drain and vent routing under the floor requires careful design. We’ve done plenty of these and can help you get it right. Call 708-809-8796 to talk through your island plans.
For simple fixture swaps like faucets, disposals, or dishwasher connections in the same location, permits usually aren’t needed. But if you’re moving drains, running new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the layout, permits are required. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Absolutely. Gas line installations are best done when walls are open during remodeling. We install lines for ranges, ovens, and cooktops, making sure everything is sized properly, pressure tested, and permitted. Scheduling the gas rough-in before cabinet installation is key.
