Professional Kitchen Remodel Plumbing Services in Grand Ridge, IL
Whether you’re swapping out a faucet and garbage disposal or rerouting plumbing for a new kitchen layout, we’ve got you covered. Some jobs take just a few hours, like hooking up your dishwasher or installing a faucet. Others, like moving your sink to an island or running new gas lines for a stove, can take several days and require permits. No matter the size, our team handles all phases professionally.
Here’s a tip from the field: get your plumber involved early, ideally before cabinets go in. Moving a sink means rerouting drain pipes when the subfloor is exposed. Running a new gas line for a stove or cooktop has to be done before your cabinetry is installed. Installing a pot filler means opening the wall behind your range, which is much simpler before backsplash tiles go up. Early scheduling keeps your project on track and avoids costly rework.
We also take service calls for kitchen plumbing outside of remodels — faucet swaps, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water line installs — it’s all in our wheelhouse. Plus, if you’re remodeling, it’s smart to check your water heater’s capacity to meet new demands or address any slow drains before closing up walls and cabinets. Call us any time at 779-217-8904.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks, including undermount (which needs careful countertop cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single and double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes connecting the drain assembly, basket strainer, P-trap, and hot & cold water supply lines with durable braided stainless steel lines—not brittle plastic. We also install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we handle every mounting style—single-hole, three-hole, deck-mounted—and test for leaks before finishing. Moving a sink to a new spot involves drain rerouting, vent changes, and extending supply lines; we manage the full process with proper permits and inspections to ensure it’s done right.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing Connections
Hooking up your dishwasher means joining the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with the high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking that the electrical setup is okay (we work alongside electricians for that). For refrigerators, we run a dedicated cold water line for ice makers or water dispensers using copper or braided stainless steel tubing, complete with an accessible shutoff valve.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems, including dedicated faucets and waste line hookups. Reach out at 779-217-8904 for help with any kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking of switching to a gas stove or adding a cooktop in your island? We run new gas lines sized properly for your appliance’s BTU rating, connect them to your home’s gas supply, install shutoff valves, and pressure test the system to make sure it’s safe and code compliant. Permits and inspections are handled by us so you don’t have to worry.
Keep in mind: this work needs to be completed before cabinetry goes in, especially if you’re adding gas lines to a new island or location. Running gas piping after cabinets are installed can be a big headache, so talk to us and your contractor early.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove makes filling large pots with water easy without lugging them across the kitchen. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall behind the range at roughly 56 to 60 inches from the floor and about 4 inches off center. It’s straightforward during a remodel with open walls; if your kitchen’s finished, the process involves more work opening and repairing the wall afterward. Contact us at 779-217-8904 for specifics.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks require special attention because their drains can’t connect to wall vents the usual way. We install an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to ensure proper venting, depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water supply is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent pipes through the floor and beneath the subfloor takes skill and planning. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks—let’s talk about your layout to get it right the first time.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Work
- Confirm sink placement before demolition: Moving the sink adds cost; lock this in before cabinet orders.
- Install gas lines before cabinetry: Gas piping must be roughed in prior to cabinet installation.
- Pot filler faucet before backsplash: Wall openings are easiest before tile installation.
- Replace shutoff valves while accessible: Older gate valves often fail; swap them out for ball valves during remodel.
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: It’s simpler to install ice maker lines before counters are set.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes. Moving a sink to an island is one of the more challenging plumbing tasks because it requires special venting, such as an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), since it can’t tie into a wall vent stack normally. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes need careful planning underneath the floor. We’ve done this many times—call us to discuss your island’s setup before you finalize your plans.
