Reliable Kitchen Plumbing Services in Glen Ellyn, IL
Kitchen plumbing work can be quick and simple, like swapping a faucet or hooking up a disposal, or more involved like moving your sink to an island, installing a gas line for your new stove, or prepping for a pot filler faucet. What you need will affect the project length, cost, and whether permits are necessary. No matter the scope, our team has you covered.
One tip I give every homeowner: call your plumber early—before cabinetry goes in. If you’re shifting your sink location, we need access to the subfloor and framing to reroute drains and water lines properly. Adding a gas line for a cooktop or range? That rough-in is done before cabinets are set. Pot filler installation means opening the wall behind the range, so it’s best handled before backsplash tile is installed. Scheduling us early avoids delays and costly rework.
We also offer kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside remodeling, like faucet replacements, disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installation. Remodeling is a perfect opportunity to check if your water heater meets the new demand and address any slow drains before closing the cabinets. Reach out at 331-267-7498 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installations
We handle every kind of kitchen sink: undermount sinks that need precise countertop cuts, drop-in sinks, farmhouse styles, single and double bowls, even prep sinks for your pantry or island. When installing sinks, we connect strainers, P-traps, and braided stainless steel supply lines—no flimsy plastic tubing that breaks down. We also install garbage disposals while we're there to keep your kitchen running smoothly.
Faucets come in many configurations—we fit single-hole, three-hole with deck plates, and more. After installation, we pressure-test for leaks before signing off. If you need your sink moved, we’ll reroute drains, modify vents, and extend supply lines with permits and inspections handled for you.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Setting up a dishwasher means connecting hot water supply, routing the drain with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and confirming the electrical circuit is ready (we coordinate with electricians if needed). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line from the nearest supply source, using copper or braided stainless steel with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install under-sink water filters, instant hot water dispensers, and reverse osmosis systems. RO setups include faucet installation on the sink deck, appropriate supply and waste line connections, and guidance on filter care. Give us a call at 331-267-7498 for any appliance water line work.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching from electric to gas? Adding a cooktop on your island? We’ll run a correctly sized gas line from your meter or existing supply, install the shutoff valve, connect your appliance with code-approved flexible connectors, pressure test the whole system, and handle all permits and inspections. For full details, see our gas line services.
Plan ahead: gas piping to an island or new appliance location must be roughed in before cabinets go in. Trying to run gas lines after cabinetry installation is messy and costly. Coordinate this early with your builder and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove makes filling large pots simple, letting you skip lugging heavy pans across the kitchen. To install, we run a cold water supply inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and a few inches to the side of the cooktop’s center. This is easiest during remodeling when walls are open. If your kitchen is finished, we carefully open a small section of wall, install the line and faucet, then patch and finish the surface for a clean look. Call 331-267-7498 to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Plumbing for an island sink is tricky because typical wall vent stacks don’t work. We install either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), complying with local codes. Hot and cold water supply is run from the nearest mains, but routing the drain and vent requires running pipes beneath the subfloor and back up through the island cabinetry, demanding careful planning and execution. We’ve handled many island installations—call us to discuss your layout before finalizing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, it’s doable but it’s one of the more challenging plumbing changes. Island sinks require special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve since you can’t vent through the wall normally. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward but routing the drain and vent requires careful work under the floor. We do this often—give us a call at 331-267-7498 to review your plans before you finalize them.
If you’re replacing fixtures in the same spot like faucets or disposals, usually you don’t need a permit. But any rerouting of drains, adding new supply lines, gas line installation, or modifying the layout requires permits and inspections. We handle the whole permitting process so you don’t have to worry about it.
Definitely. The best time is during a remodel when walls are accessible. We install properly sized gas piping, connect with flexible connectors, pressure test the whole system, and pull all necessary permits. Be sure to schedule gas line rough-in before your cabinets go in.
Yes, we often work as the plumbing subcontractor on kitchen remodels. We communicate with your general contractor to schedule rough-in and finish plumbing at the right times and handle all permits and inspections. Call us at 331-267-7498 early in your project to get us in the loop.
