Plumbing for Kitchen Remodels in Elk Grove Village, IL
Whether you just need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen overhaul with island sink and gas range installation, we’ve got you covered. Kitchen plumbing work varies — from simple fixture replacements to extensive rough-ins with multiple supply and drain reroutes. The project size affects costs, timing, and if permits are necessary. No matter the scope, our team is ready to handle it.
One thing I always tell local homeowners: schedule your plumber early on. In Elk Grove Village, with its mix of vintage and newer homes, it’s essential to get plumbing done before cabinets and countertops go in. For example, relocating a sink means rerouting the drain while the subfloor is exposed. Gas lines for a new range or island cooktop must be roughed in ahead of cabinetry. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind the stove—much easier before the backsplash is installed. Early plumbing preparations can prevent costly delays down the line.
We also take service calls for kitchen plumbing outside of remodels—faucet installations, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water lines. Remodeling is a great opportunity to verify your water heater’s capacity or clear out slow kitchen drains before closing everything up. Call us anytime at 224-877-7015 for all your kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install every style of kitchen sink: undermount (coordinated with your countertop fabricator), drop-in, apron-front, single or double basin, and prep sinks. Our installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and braided stainless steel supply lines that last longer than old plastic ones. When needed, we include garbage disposal hookup as part of the same visit.
Faucet installs are no problem, regardless of configuration — 1-hole, 3-hole, or deck plate setups. We pressure test all connections to ensure no leaks. Moving the sink to a new location involves drain rerouting, vent work, and supply line extensions—all permitted and inspected. We handle those more complex projects frequently.
Dishwasher and Appliance Connections
Dishwasher hookups involve connecting the hot water supply, installing the drain line with a proper high loop or air gap to stop backflow, and confirming the electrical outlet meets requirements (we coordinate with electricians). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install a dedicated cold water line with a shutoff valve easily accessible behind the fridge, using durable copper or braided stainless piping.
We also set up instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units, installing dedicated faucets and making all water and drain connections. Maintenance advice for filter changes is always part of our service. Reach out at 224-877-7015 to get your new or replacement appliances connected correctly.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Adding a gas stove or cooktop? Our team installs fully code-compliant gas lines sized to the appliance’s BTU rating. We route piping from your home’s gas meter or existing main, install shutoff valves, connect flexible appliance connectors, and perform pressure tests. Permits and inspections are handled by us so you don’t have to worry.
Planning tip: this gas rough-in should happen before cabinets are set in, especially for islands or new locations. Attempting to install gas lines after finishes are in place is tricky and invasive—plan accordingly with us and your general contractor early on.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove lets you fill pots without hauling them from the sink. Installation requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall at about 56–60 inches from the floor and offset about 4 inches from the center of the cooking surface. This is most efficient during renovations with open walls, but we can retrofit pot fillers in completed kitchens with minimal disruption. Call us to explore your options.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Island sinks are one of the trickiest plumbing features due to venting requirements. Since the drain is far from typical wall vents, an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV) is usually needed, depending on local codes. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drains under floors and back up into the island requires precision. We have extensive experience with island sink installations—consult with us before finalizing your kitchen island design.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement before demolition: Moving the sink is a costly change—make sure your layout is final before ordering cabinetry.
- Gas line rough-in before cabinets: Installing a gas line for an island or new range must be done before counters and cabinets go in.
- Pot filler before backsplash installation: It's easier to access the wall prior to tile work.
- Replace shutoff valves while exposed: Old gate valves can fail; swap them for ball valves during construction.
- Run fridge water line before countertops: Installing ice maker lines is simpler before countertop placement.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it's a more involved job. Island sinks need special venting—a loop vent or air admittance valve—because you can’t connect to a traditional wall vent easily. Running supply lines is straightforward, but routing the drain and vents beneath the floor requires careful design. We've done plenty of island sink installs in Elk Grove Village homes. Call us at 224-877-7015 to talk through your island plans.
If you’re just swapping fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, usually no permit is needed. But if you reroute drain lines, install new supply runs, add gas lines, or move fixtures, permits are required. We take care of the paperwork and inspection scheduling so you don’t have to worry.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines is best done when walls are open during a remodel. We handle everything: sizing pipe to fit the BTU load, running lines from your meter, installing shutoffs, pressure testing, and obtaining permits. Make sure to schedule this before cabinets go in.
