Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing Services in Prospect Heights, IL
Whether it's a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul involving moving sinks, running new gas lines, or adding specialty fixtures like pot fillers, we cover the full spectrum. The size of the job affects the price, how long it takes, and whether permits come into play. No matter the job, we’ve got it covered.
From my experience in Prospect Heights homes, the best tip I can share is to bring in the plumber early—before cabinets or flooring go in. Relocating a sink means rerouting drains and vents which is easiest when subfloors are exposed. Installing a gas line for your new range or island cooktop needs to happen before cabinetry too. Pot fillers require access behind the stove wall, so it’s best to plan ahead. Scheduling plumbing work early will prevent headaches down the road, especially with Illinois weather delaying some phases.
We also handle smaller kitchen plumbing calls like faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and ice maker line installs when you're not remodeling. Planning a kitchen update? It’s a great time to check your water heater’s capacity and address any slow drains before closing up the cabinets. Call us anytime at 224-537-0638.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Installing Kitchen Sinks & Faucets
We mount all types of kitchen sinks: undermounts needing precise countertop cutouts, drop-ins, farmhouse or apron-front styles, as well as single, double, or prep sinks. The job includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, and P-trap, plus connecting braided stainless steel supply lines for durability and leak resistance. We also handle garbage disposal installations during the same visit if needed.
faucets, we install any style and handle all mounting setups—whether it’s single hole, three-hole, or a deck plate. Every installation is pressure-tested before we're done. Moving sinks to a new spot involves drain rerouting and vent modifications, and we take care of permits and inspections for these projects as well.
Connecting Dishwashers & Kitchen Appliances
Dishwasher hookups involve attaching the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent any backflow, and verifying the electrical connection with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines—using copper or premium braided stainless steel—securely anchored and with easy-to-access shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers and whole-house or under-sink water filtration systems, including reverse osmosis setups. RO installations include drilling for the dedicated faucet on your sink deck and hooking up supply and waste lines. Reach out at 224-537-0638 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
If you’re switching to a gas stove or adding a gas cooktop, we’ll run the gas line sized correctly for your appliance’s BTU requirements. We trace the pipe from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect with flexible, code-approved connectors, pressure test the system, and manage permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for more details on how we keep it safe and compliant.
Keep in mind that gas line rough-ins need to be completed before cabinets go in to avoid costly remodeling later. Planning this phase early with your general contractor and us will save time and prevent issues, especially in Prospect Heights where older homes often have tricky layouts.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are super handy—mounted above the stove so you can fill pots without lugging water across the kitchen. Installing one requires running a cold water line inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and roughly 4 inches off the stove centerline. This is simplest to do during a remodel when walls are open, but we can add one to finished kitchens too with minimal mess. Call us at 224-537-0638 to explore options for your kitchen.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks need special attention because their drains can’t vent through a nearby wall stack like traditional sinks. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs), depending on what local codes require here in Illinois. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but draining and venting beneath the floor call for precise planning and execution. We’ve installed island sink plumbing in many Prospect Heights homes—get in touch to discuss your island layout before finalizing designs.

Tips for Scheduling Kitchen Plumbing
- Finalize sink location before demolition: Sink moves are the most costly plumbing change—confirm early to avoid surprises.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Running gas lines after cabinetry is installed can be disruptive and expensive.
- Pot filler installations before backsplash: It’s easier to open walls before tile is installed.
- Replace old shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Old gate valves can fail; swapping for ball valves now is smart maintenance.
- Install refrigerator water lines before countertops: Running these lines early avoids extra cuts or damage later.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Yes, but it’s more complex than a straight swap. Island sinks need special venting via an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on code. Water supply lines are simple enough to run, but the drain and vent routing through floors needs careful planning. We’ve installed many island sinks around Prospect Heights — give us a call at 224-537-0638 to discuss your setup before you finalize your design.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same spots—like replacing a faucet or disposal—permits usually aren’t needed. But if you reroute drains, install new supply lines, add gas lines, or change the kitchen’s plumbing layout, permits are required. We handle all the paperwork and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines during a remodel is ideal since walls are open. We size and install the line according to appliance specs, perform pressure testing, and secure permits. Just make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinetry goes in to avoid complications.
