Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Posen, IL
Whether you're just swapping out a faucet, hooking up a disposal, or completely moving your sink and running new gas lines for a remodel, we’ve got you covered. The work could be a quick fix or a detailed rough-in over several days, depending on your project’s complexity. Permits may be needed for bigger changes — we take care of that too.
Here’s a tip from my experience: get us involved early, ideally before the cabinets go in. Moving your sink means rerouting drains and supply lines, which is much easier when floors and walls are accessible. Gas line rough-ins for ranges or island cooktops should happen before cabinet installation. Installing a pot filler means opening the wall behind the stove, best done before tile or backsplash goes in. Scheduling your plumber early keeps the project running smooth and avoids costly delays.
We also handle standalone kitchen plumbing repairs and installations like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs — even outside remodel projects. Kitchen remodels are a great opportunity to inspect your water heater’s capacity and clear out any slow drains before closing everything up. Reach out at 708-726-8256 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We fit every style of kitchen sink—undermount (coordinating with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse apron, single or double bowl, as well as prep sinks. Our work includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and all water supply connections. We use braided stainless steel lines for supply, avoiding the outdated plastic tubing that often fails. Garbage disposal installation can be combined with sink work if needed.
For faucets, we install all mounting types—single hole, three hole with deck plate—and thoroughly test the setup for leaks before finishing. Relocating a sink is more involved, requiring drain reroutes, vent adjustments, and supply extensions. We manage permits and inspections for these bigger jobs as well.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers, ensuring hot water supply lines and drain hoses are installed correctly with high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. While we don’t handle electrical work, we check that the circuit is adequate and work with your electrician as needed. Refrigerator water and ice maker lines get dedicated cold water connections, installed with copper or braided stainless tubing, complete with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, that includes running the faucet through the countertop and hooking up supply and waste lines. Give us a call at 708-726-8256 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading to a gas range or adding a gas cooktop? We install gas lines sized specifically to your appliance’s BTU rating, running pipes from your gas meter or existing line, fitting shutoff valves, and attaching flexible connectors that meet code. Our team pressure tests the system and takes care of permits and inspections.
Note: If you’re adding gas lines to an island or moving cooking appliances, this work must be finished before cabinets and drywall go in. That prevents difficult and costly retrofitting later. Coordinate early with us and your general contractor to keep your remodel on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above the stove is a convenient addition that lets you fill pots without hauling them from the sink. Installing one means running a cold water supply line inside the wall at roughly 56 to 60 inches from the floor, positioned near the stove. It’s easiest to install during a remodel when walls are open, but we can also retrofit it with some drywall repair and touch-up work. Call 708-726-8256 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks present a special challenge since their drains don’t connect to traditional wall vents. They need an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent under the floor and back up through the island cabinet takes planning. We have plenty of experience with island sinks—let’s discuss your layout before you finalize it.

Tips for Timing Your Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location early: Moving sinks is the priciest change—lock this in before cabinets are ordered.
- Complete gas line work before cabinets: Gas piping must be roughed in prior to cabinet install.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Opening walls is much easier before tile or backsplash is installed.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during remodels for reliability.
- Run refrigerator water lines early: Installing ice maker lines is simpler before countertop installation.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, moving a sink to an island is something we do regularly. It requires special venting like an island loop vent or air admittance valve because you can’t tie into a wall vent there. Supplying hot and cold lines is straightforward, but drain and vent routing through the floor needs precise planning. Call 708-726-8256 to talk over your island setup before you finalize the design.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same location, like swapping faucets or hooking up a dishwasher, usually no permit is needed. But if your remodel involves rerouting drain lines, installing new supply lines, working on gas lines, or changing the layout, permits are required. We handle pulling permits and arranging inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines is best done when walls are open during a remodel. We size the lines properly for your stove or cooktop, install shutoff valves, pressure test, and make sure all permits and inspections are completed. Schedule your gas line rough-in before cabinets are installed to avoid costly modifications later.
