Reliable Kitchen Plumbing For Remodels in Evergreen Park, IL
Whether you're just swapping out a faucet or tackling a full kitchen rough-in, we’ve got you covered. Tasks like moving sinks to islands, installing gas lines for new ranges, setting up pot fillers or prep sinks, and reworking supply and drain lines are all part of our expertise. Each job comes with its own timeline, cost, and permitting requirements, and we manage every detail.
Here’s a tip from the trenches: get your plumber involved before cabinets are installed. For instance, moving a sink means rerouting drains while the floor is exposed. Installing a gas line for a cooktop or stove should also be done early, before cabinetry goes in. Pot filler faucets need wall access behind the range, which is much simpler before backsplash tiles go up. Planning ahead smooths your remodel and prevents costly delays.
We also handle one-off kitchen plumbing needs outside of renovations—like faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water lines. Remodeling offers a great opportunity to check your water heater's capacity and clear out slow drains with professional drain cleaning. Call us anytime at 708-726-0334.
Kitchen Plumbing Services We Offer
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installation
We install every type of kitchen sink — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our installs include drain basket assembly, strainers, P-traps, and connecting supply lines. We use durable braided stainless steel water lines, which last longer than the old plastic ones prone to cracking. When needed, we’ll also install or replace garbage disposals during the same visit.
Faucet installs cover all mounting setups, whether single-hole, three-hole, or deck-plate configurations. Before finishing, we pressure-test everything to prevent leaks. If you want to move your sink elsewhere in the kitchen, that involves drain rerouting and vent modifications — a job we handle with the necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Hooking up a dishwasher means connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain hose properly with a high loop or air gap to avoid backflow, and confirming the electrical supply is ready (electrician work, but we coordinate). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line from the nearest supply, using properly supported copper or braided stainless steel with an accessible shutoff valve behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, we handle faucet installation on the sink deck along with supply and waste connections. Reach out at 708-726-0334 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch to gas or add a gas cooktop? We size and install gas lines based on your appliances’ BTUs. Our process includes running the line from your meter or existing supply, installing shutoff valves, connecting the appliance with flexible connectors, pressure testing, and coordinating permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for details on how we ensure safety and compliance.
Remember, gas line rough-in must happen before cabinets go in, especially for islands or new appliance locations. Running gas lines after cabinetry is installed is a major hassle and expensive. Talk to us and your GC early in your remodel planning.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers let you fill pots right at the stove, saving trips across the kitchen with heavy water containers. Installing one means running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor, set a few inches off the range centerline. It’s straightforward during a remodel, but in finished kitchens, it requires opening and repairing the wall. Call us at 708-726-0334 to discuss what’s possible in your kitchen.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks present unique challenges because they can’t connect to wall vents in the usual way. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) per local code. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is simpler, but routing drain and vent pipes through the floor and subfloor takes careful planning to avoid problems. We’ve installed many island sinks—call us early to ensure your design works smoothly.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Yes, but it’s a more involved job because island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or air admittance valve to keep drains flowing properly. Running supply lines is easier, but the drain and vent routing through the floor must be carefully planned. We’ve handled many island sink installs—call us to talk through your layout before you finalize your plans.
Minor fixture replacements like swapping a faucet or disposal usually don’t require a permit. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas piping, or changing the kitchen layout, permits and inspections are mandatory. We take care of the paperwork and inspections so you don’t have to stress about it.
Absolutely. Gas line installation is best done while walls are open during a remodel. We install code-compliant lines sized for your appliance’s BTUs, test for leaks, and handle the permit process. Make sure to schedule gas rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid costly rerouting later.
