Kitchen Plumbing Services in Palos Park, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap and disposal hookup or a full kitchen remodel that moves plumbing lines, installs gas lines, or adds a pot filler, our team has the skills to get it done. The job size affects budget, timeline, and permit needs. No matter the scale, we’ve got you covered.
Give us a call at 708-742-7035 early in your project. Ideally, you want plumbing ready before your cabinets go in. Moving the sink means rerouting drains and vents, best done while the subfloor is open. New gas lines for your range or island cooktop also need to be roughed in before cabinetry is installed. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall behind the stove — much simpler before backsplash tile is installed. Scheduling us ahead saves headaches and delays.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing jobs like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs without a remodel. Kitchen upgrades are a good time to make sure your water heater can handle the extra load and to clear any slow drains before putting cabinets back. Reach out at 708-742-7035 for any service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installations
We fit all types of kitchen sinks — undermount (which requires precise countertop cuts), drop-in, farmhouse (apron-front), single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our install includes the drain assembly, basket strainer, P-trap, and water supply connections. We always use braided stainless steel supply lines instead of older plastic ones to prevent leaks and breaks. When applicable, we install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit.
Faucets come in many styles and mounting setups (single hole, three holes with deck plates). We handle all types, ensuring tight seals and pressure testing before finishing. Moving the sink to a new spot involves drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and extending supply lines. We manage permits and inspections for these more involved projects.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers with hot water lines and install drain hoses correctly with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow contamination. We also check that the electrical connection is ready, though that’s an electrician’s job. For refrigerators that have ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or braided stainless steel, ensuring proper support and accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
Other appliance connections we do include instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we install the dedicated faucet on the countertop, connect supply and drain lines, and walk you through filter maintenance. Call us at 708-742-7035 for any kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading to a gas range or adding a cooktop on an island? We size gas lines properly based on BTU ratings, route gas piping from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, attach the appliance with a flexible connector, and pressure test the entire system. We handle permits and inspections in line with local codes. Visit our gas line services page for detailed info on how we safely install gas lines.
Important: If you’re running new gas lines to an island or a relocated stove, that rough-in must happen before cabinets go in. Adding gas lines after cabinetry is installed is much more complicated and invasive. Coordinate this early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above your stove so you can fill pots right where you cook. It needs a cold water supply run inside the wall at roughly 56 to 60 inches from the floor and just off center from the range. During remodels when walls are open, pot fillers are quick installs. Retrofitting one in finished kitchens requires opening and repairing the wall and backsplash afterward. Call us at 708-742-7035 to review your project specifics.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island adds complexity because you can’t tie the drain into a wall vent the usual way. Island sinks need an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Hot and cold water supply runs are straightforward, but routing the drain and vent lines through the floor and beneath the subfloor requires precise planning. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs—call to discuss your layout before finalizing your plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement before demo: Moving the sink is major plumbing work—pin it down before cabinets are ordered.
- Gas line rough-in before cabinetry: New gas lines to islands or ranges need to be installed before cabinets go in.
- Pot filler installed before backsplash: Opening walls is easier without finished tile.
- Replace old shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during remodel when plumbing is exposed.
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install before counters are set.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s one of the more complex kitchen plumbing tasks. Island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV). Running supply lines is straightforward, but drain and vent lines need careful routing. We do this work all the time—call us to review your island setup before finalizing plans.
Simple fixture replacements like faucets, disposals, or dishwasher hookups typically don’t require permits if done in the same spot. But any drain rerouting, new water supply lines, gas line installations, or layout changes require permits and inspections. We handle all permit paperwork and scheduling with the city so you don’t have to worry.
