Kitchen Plumbing Services in Hinckley, IL
Kitchen plumbing for remodels can be a quick update—like swapping a faucet or hooking up a dishwasher—or a more detailed project involving relocating sinks, installing new gas lines for ranges, or adding features like pot fillers or prep sinks. The scale of work influences the cost, schedule, and permit needs. Whatever your project entails, we’ve got it covered.
Give us a call at 815-435-4586 early in your remodel planning. For example, if the sink moves, rerouting drains is best done before flooring is sealed. Gas line installation for ranges or cooktops should be completed before cabinets go in. Pot fillers require access behind the backsplash, easiest before tile is set. Planning plumbing early keeps your project on track.
Beyond remodels, we offer service calls for kitchen plumbing repairs or upgrades—like faucet or disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or fridge water lines—even without a full remodel. Remodeling is also a good time to ensure your water heater can handle new demands and clear any slow kitchen drains before closing walls. Call us at 815-435-4586 anytime.
Complete Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install every variety of kitchen sink—undermount ones that need precise countertop cutouts, drop-in styles, farmhouse or apron-front sinks, single or double bowl, even prep sinks. Installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting supply lines. We use braided stainless steel supply lines, which are far more durable than the older plastic ribbed ones prone to leaks. If you need a garbage disposal connected, we typically handle that during the same visit.
For faucets, we mount all types, whether single-hole, three-hole, or those requiring a deck plate, making sure every connection is watertight before calling it done. Moving the sink to a new spot involves additional plumbing work—drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extensions—all done with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Plumbing
Hooking up a dishwasher involves connecting to hot water supply, routing its drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking electrical connections (which we coordinate with electricians). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install a dedicated cold water line, using copper or braided stainless tubing, supported securely with a shutoff valve accessible behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems, including dedicated faucet installation, supply and waste connections, and guidance on filter changes. Call 815-435-4586 for any appliance hookup needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to a gas range or adding a gas cooktop in your island? We handle the full gas line installation—sizing the pipe to match the appliance’s BTU rating, running the line from your gas meter or main supply, installing shutoff valves, connecting with flexible, code-approved fittings, pressure-testing the system, and managing permits and inspections. For details, see our gas line services page.
Important: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinets are installed. Trying to run gas lines after cabinetry is in place is tough and disruptive. Coordinate your schedule with us and your general contractor early on.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall over your stove so you can fill pots without carrying water across the kitchen. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and roughly 4 inches offset from the range center. It’s a straightforward job during a remodel with open walls. Retrofitting a pot filler in a finished kitchen requires cutting into walls and patchwork but we minimize mess. Call 815-435-4586 to plan your installation.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island can be tricky because the drain can’t tie into a standard wall vent. Instead, island sinks need an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drains and vents beneath the floor and back up through the island cabinet takes skillful planning. We’ve done plenty of island sinks and can help you design an efficient layout before construction.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location early: Moving the sink is usually the priciest plumbing change—lock down your layout before demo starts.
- Gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas piping needs to be installed before cabinetry goes in to avoid costly rework.
- Install pot fillers before tiling: Cutting into walls is much simpler before backsplash tile is installed.
- Replace old shutoff valves while exposed: Switch out gate valves for reliable ball valves during the remodel to avoid future leaks.
- Run fridge water lines before counters: Routing supply lines is easier before countertops are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, we can do that. Moving a sink to an island is one of the more complex plumbing jobs since it requires special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Water supply lines are simple enough to run, but the drain and vent routing under the floor and back up to the island needs proper design. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks—give us a call at 815-435-4586 to discuss your plans before you finalize the layout.
For minor jobs like replacing a faucet, disposal, or hooking up a dishwasher in the same spot, permits usually aren’t necessary. However, any work involving rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, gas piping, or changing the kitchen’s plumbing layout will require permits. We take care of the permit applications and inspections to keep everything above board.
Definitely. It’s best to install gas lines while walls are open during a remodel. We size and install gas piping for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, pressure-test the system, and obtain all necessary permits. Make sure to schedule this work before the cabinets are installed to avoid headaches later.
