Plumbing Solutions for Kitchen Remodels in Lincolnwood, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap and disposal hookup or a full plumbing rough-in including sink relocation, adding a gas line, or installing a pot filler, we’ve got the skill and permits handled. Kitchen remodel plumbing varies widely, so the project size impacts cost and schedule. We take care of everything from minor updates to complex installs.
Here’s a pro tip for Lincolnwood homeowners: get your plumbing lined up before cabinets go in. Moving the sink means you’ll want the drain rerouted while subfloor access is open. Installing a new gas line for a range or island cooktop needs to happen early, too. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind the stove, so easier before backsplash tile is on. Scheduling us upfront prevents costly delays later on.
Need just a faucet replaced or your disposal serviced without a remodel? We handle stand-alone kitchen plumbing repairs and installations too. And if your water heater is struggling with new appliance demand or your kitchen drain runs slow, call us to assess before you finish your renovation. Dial 224-524-1253 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Setup
We install all sink styles—undermount with precise countertop coordination, drop-in sinks, farmhouse aprons, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. This includes fitting the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting braided stainless supply lines (no brittle plastic lines here). When needed, we add and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit.
Faucet installations cover all mounting styles, whether one-hole, triple-hole, or with a deck plate. We pressure-test everything before leaving. If you want to move your sink, we handle the full drain and vent reroute with permits, inspections, and all.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwasher water supply and drains using the proper high loop or air gap techniques to stop backflow. We also check with your electrician to make sure power is safe and ready. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves easily reached behind the unit.
Additional services include installing instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis units. We take care of faucet installs, supply and waste connections, and provide maintenance advice on filters. Call us to get your appliances hooked up right.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas? We install lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, making sure pipe size matches the appliance load, routing from your gas meter, installing shutoff valves, and testing for safety. We handle permits and inspections required by Lincolnwood jurisdiction.
Heads up: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinets go in. Retrofitting gas lines is a major headache and invasive. Plan early with your contractor and bring us in to coordinate.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers add convenience by letting you fill pots right at the stove without lugging heavy water. We run cold water lines inside the wall roughly 56–60 inches above the floor near your range. Best installed during a remodel but can be retrofitted in finished kitchens with some wall work. We’ll help you figure out the best approach.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks are tricky because their drains can’t tie into wall vents as usual. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves depending on code. Hot and cold supply lines run from nearby mains, but the drain and vent piping through the floor needs careful layout. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs and can guide you to avoid surprises.

Timing Tips for Your Kitchen Plumbing
- Decide sink placement before demolition: Moving sinks is costly, so lock this down before ordering cabinets.
- Install gas lines ahead of cabinetry: Gas runs must be roughed in before cabinets go in.
- Pot filler installs before backsplash: Easier to open walls before tile and grout.
- Swap out old shutoff valves while you can: Ball valves last longer than aging gate valves—do it when pipes are exposed.
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install before counters are set.
Kitchen Remodel FAQs
Yes, relocating to an island is feasible but involves extra work. Island sinks need special venting solutions like loop vents or air admittance valves, which requires careful planning. Supply lines are easier; the challenge is routing drain and vent pipes through the floor. We handle island sink plumbing frequently, so give us a call at 224-524-1253 before you finalize your layout.
Minor replacements like faucet swaps or disposal hookups usually don’t need permits. But whenever drain lines are moved, new supply pipes are run, or gas lines installed or altered, a permit is required. We take care of securing permits and scheduling inspections to keep your project compliant.
