Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Elwood, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet and hooking up a new garbage disposal or tackling a full kitchen renovation that moves sinks, adds gas lines, installs pot fillers, or sets up multiple prep sinks, we’ve got the expertise to manage your project. The size and complexity affect costs and timing, as well as permit requirements — but no matter the job, we take care of it.
Here's a pro tip: reach out to us at 779-217-8582 before cabinetry is installed. Moving a kitchen sink means rerouting drains and vents beneath the floor, so it’s best to do this while the subfloor is accessible. Adding a gas line for a new range or island cooktop has to happen first, before cabinets go in. Pot fillers require wall access, so install them before backsplash tiles are set. Coordinating with your plumber early helps keep your project on track and avoids costly delays.
We’re also available for individual kitchen plumbing jobs outside of remodels: faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines. Remodeling time is also ideal to check your water heater's capacity for added kitchen appliances or fix any stubborn slow drains before the cabinets get installed. Call 779-217-8582 anytime.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installations
Your kitchen sink can come in many forms — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. We install everything with precise drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and braided stainless steel supply lines that last longer than old plastic tubing. When needed, we connect garbage disposals during the same visit.
Faucet setups include all mounting types like one-hole, three-hole, or deck-plate installations. We pressure test all fittings to ensure no leaks. If you’re relocating the sink, we take care of the more involved drain rerouting, venting changes, and supply line extensions with the proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We handle dishwasher water supply and drain lines, making sure drain hoses have correct high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow contamination. While we check electrical connections for proper power capacity, an electrician handles that part. For refrigerators, we run dedicated cold water lines for ice makers and water dispensers, using copper or braided stainless tubing with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we drill dedicated faucet holes in the countertop, hook up supply and waste lines, and guide you on routine filter maintenance. Call 779-217-8582 for full appliance connection service.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas cooking? We run the gas piping sized for your appliance’s BTU requirements, from the nearest gas supply to your stove or cooktop. We install shutoff valves, connect appliances with code-approved flexible connectors, pressure test the system, and handle all permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page to learn more about our safety procedures.
Important scheduling note: gas line rough-ins for new island cooktops or range locations must happen before cabinets are installed, as routing lines afterward is difficult and invasive. Coordinate with your general contractor and us early to avoid headaches.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove adds convenience by filling pots right on the cooktop. Installation requires running a cold water supply inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above floor level, roughly 4 inches off-center from the stove. This is straightforward during a remodel with open walls, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with minimal disruption. Call us at 779-217-8582 to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink presents unique challenges since the drain can’t connect to traditional wall vents. Instead, we use island loop vents or install an air admittance valve (AAV) as permitted locally. Water supply runs hot and cold lines from the nearest source, but routing drains and vents through the subfloor and back up to the island requires careful planning. We’ve handled many island sink installations—call us to discuss your layout before finalizing plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement before demo: Shifting the sink is the costliest plumbing change—make sure it’s set before ordering cabinets.
- Gas line work before cabinetry: Any new gas pipe runs must be completed prior to cabinet installation.
- Pot filler installs before backsplash: Wall access is simpler when tiles aren’t yet installed.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while exposed: Replace outdated gate valves with ball valves when plumbing is accessible.
- Refrigerator water line before countertops: It’s easier to run the ice maker line prior to countertop installation.
Kitchen Plumbing Questions Answered
Yes, we can. Moving a sink to an island is one of the more challenging plumbing tasks due to venting requirements—a proper island loop vent or AAV is needed.
