Kitchen Plumbing Services in Elgin, IL
From quick tasks like swapping out faucets or connecting a new garbage disposer to extensive rough-ins involving sink relocation, running gas lines for ranges, or adding prep sinks and pot fillers — kitchen remodel plumbing covers a wide range of jobs. What you need determines the cost, timing, and permit requirements. We guide you through all of it.
Give us a call at 224-268-8144 early in your remodel. Planning plumbing before cabinets go in is key. Sink moves require access to the subfloor for rerouting drains and vents. Running new gas lines for cooktops or ranges must happen before cabinetry is installed. Pot fillers need wall access behind the stove before tile and backsplash work. Scheduling plumbing work ahead saves headaches down the line.
We also offer single-service kitchen plumbing work like faucet replacements, disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installations outside of remodels. Remodeling is a smart time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear up slow kitchen drains. Reach out at 224-268-8144 anytime.
Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Setup
We install all sink styles including undermount (coordinating with your countertop cut), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our sink installs cover drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and water connections. We use braided stainless steel supply lines—not the plastic ones that crack over time. We also hook up garbage disposals during the same visit when needed.
Faucet installation covers all mounting types — one-hole, three-hole, or with deck plates. We pressure test every install for leak-free performance. Moving your sink to a new spot? That involves drain and vent rerouting plus supply line extensions. We handle the whole process, including permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Other Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include hot water supply, proper drain routing with high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and we check electrical setups (though electricians do that part). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves behind the unit, using copper or braided stainless tubing.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, we drill the faucet hole in your sink deck, connect supply and waste lines, and explain filter maintenance. Call 224-268-8144 for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Whether converting to gas or adding a cooktop on an island, we install properly sized gas piping, run lines from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, attach flexible connectors, pressure test everything, and take care of permits and inspections. See our gas line services page to learn more.
Heads up: new gas line runs must be completed before cabinets go in. Trying to route lines after cabinetry is in place usually means tearing something up — so line this up with us and your general contractor early to keep things smooth.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler above your stove lets you fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. It needs a cold water line run into the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and roughly 4 inches offset from the center of the stove. Installing during a remodel with open walls is simple and inexpensive. For finished kitchens, it means some wall opening, patching, and repainting or tile work. Call 224-268-8144 and we'll discuss what fits your situation.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is trickier since it can’t tie into a wall vent stack normally. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) as required by your local code. Running hot and cold water supply is straightforward, but drain and vent piping needs careful planning through the subfloor and up inside the island. We've done many island plumbing jobs and can help you design the proper setup before you finalize your plans.

Tips on Timing Your Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement before demolition: Moving the sink involves the most work and cost, so decide early before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line rough-in prior to cabinets: Gas piping must be installed before cabinetry to avoid costly modifications.
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Wall access is easier before tile and backsplash go in.
- Upgrade shutoffs while accessible: Replace old gate valves with reliable ball valves whenever plumbing is exposed.
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: It's simpler to install water lines for ice makers before counters are set.
Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, moving the sink to an island is doable but requires special venting solutions like an island loop vent or air admittance valve. Running the supply lines is straightforward but routing the drain properly through the floor needs planning. We’ve done plenty of these. Give us a call at 224-268-8144 to review your layout before you finalize it.
If you’re only replacing fixtures in the same spot, usually no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drain lines, adding new supply lines, installing gas piping, or changing the layout, permits are required by code. We take care of the permit applications and inspection scheduling so you don’t have to worry.
Definitely. Installing gas lines for ranges, ovens, or cooktops is part of our services. We do everything from sizing the pipe, running the line, pressure testing, and working with local inspectors. We recommend scheduling gas line installation well before cabinetry is installed.
