Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Blue Island, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul, we’ve got you covered. Tasks like installing a new faucet or hooking up a disposal might take a few hours, while more extensive jobs — moving sinks to islands, laying new gas lines, adding prep sinks, or pot filler rough-ins — require careful planning and multiple days. Your project size will dictate costs, schedule, and permit necessities. We manage every step smoothly.
Plan to have us out early during your remodel by calling 708-272-1701. If the sink is relocating, plumbing reroutes must happen when subfloor access is open. Gas lines for new ranges or islands need to be roughed in before cabinetry installation. Pot filler faucets also require wall openings best done before backsplash tile goes in. Scheduling plumbing early prevents delays later on.
We also provide kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside of remodels — faucet swaps, garbage disposal maintenance, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installs. Plus, remodel season is a great time to check your water heater’s capacity or clear sluggish drains before cabinets are back in place. Call us anytime at 708-272-1701.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Setup
We install all sink styles common in the Blue Island area, including undermount sinks requiring precise countertop cuts, drop-in bowls, farmhouse/apron-front designs, as well as prep and double bowls. Our installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and stainless braided supply lines for durability and leak resistance—no more brittle plastic tubing. We also install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
Faucet installation covers all configurations — single-hole, three-hole, or deck-mounted with escutcheon plates. We pressure-test all connections before finishing the job. If you want to move the sink to a new spot, we handle the more complex drain and vent relocation with proper permits and inspections required by local code.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Installing a dishwasher includes hooking up hot water supply, routing the drain line with the required high loop or air gap to prevent contamination, and ensuring electrical connections are ready (we coordinate with electricians as needed). For refrigerators with ice makers, we run dedicated cold water lines with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit, using copper or stainless braided lines properly supported.
We also install hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units, including dedicated faucets and drain connections. Let us handle your appliance water connections for a smooth setup—call 708-272-1701.
Gas Line Installation for Cooking Equipment
Planning to add a gas cooktop or switch from electric to gas? We perform full gas line installations, sized to match your appliance BTU rating. We route piping from your gas meter or existing supply, install shut-off valves, connect the appliance with code-approved flexible connectors, and conduct pressure tests for safety. We also take care of the permit and inspection process so you don’t have to.
Reminder: gas line work should be scheduled before cabinets go in, especially if running lines to islands or new locations, as routing afterward is much more invasive. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us to keep your timeline on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installations
A pot filler faucet mounted above the stove offers convenient water access for filling pots without carrying heavy containers across the kitchen. We run a dedicated cold water line inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches high and roughly 4 inches off center from the cooking surface. This is easiest during remodels with open walls but can also be retrofitted into finished kitchens with minimal wall repairs afterwards. Contact us at 708-272-1701 to plan yours.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island requires special venting solutions, since island drains can’t tie into standard wall vents. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) depending on local regulations. Supply lines are run from the nearest connections, but drains and vents have to be routed carefully through the subfloor and back up into the island cabinet space. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs—call us early to go over your layout and plumbing options.

Best Practices for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Sink location finalization before demolition: Moving the sink is costly—confirm spot before ordering cabinets.
- Gas line rough-in before cabinet install: Install gas piping first, especially for island or new stove locations.
- Pot filler installed before backsplash: Wall openings are much easier before tile goes in.
- Replace old shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Ball valves are more reliable than aging gate valves.
- Run refrigerator water lines ahead of countertops: Easier access before counters are set.
Project costs vary widely depending on scope. A faucet and disposal swap may cost a few hundred dollars in labor, while a full kitchen plumbing rough-in with sink relocation, gas line installation, and island prep sink can run several thousand. These price ranges are estimates only. Call us at 708-272-1701 with your project details for a transparent, detailed quote.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing moves because island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running the hot and cold supply is straightforward, but the drain routing through the floor and venting requires careful planning. We do these regularly—give us a call at 708-272-1701 to review your island plan before you decide.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures like faucets, disposals, or hooking up a dishwasher in the same spot, usually no permit is required. But any work involving relocating drains, new supply lines, gas line installation, or changes to layout will require permits. We take care of the permit application and scheduling inspections on your behalf.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines during a remodel is ideal because walls are accessible. We size, install, pressure test, and get permits for gas lines running to ranges, cooktops, or ovens. Make sure to schedule this before cabinets go in to avoid tricky rerouting later.
