Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Plano, IL
The scope of kitchen plumbing during a remodel can vary widely — from swapping out your faucet and hooking up a new disposal to running new supply lines for a relocated sink or adding a gas line for your range. Whether it's a simple afternoon fix or a detailed rough-in that spans several days, we manage every step with precision and care.
My advice? Bring in your plumber early in the remodel. Before cabinets and countertops go in is the best time to tackle plumbing changes. Moving a sink means rerouting drains, which has to happen while the floor is open. If you’re adding a gas line for a new cooktop or island, rough-in that before cabinetry is installed to avoid headaches later. Pot fillers need a wall opened up behind the stove — definitely easier before tile or backsplash is installed. Being proactive saves time and money in the long run.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing tasks outside of remodels, like faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installations. Plus during remodels, it’s a good idea to check your water heater’s capacity and clear any slow kitchen drains before cabinetry goes back. Reach out at 630-332-8735 whenever you need us.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We set up all types of kitchen sinks: undermount (we coordinate with your countertop fabricator), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, plus prep sinks. Installation covers drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and hot/cold supply connections using braid-reinforced stainless steel lines, not old plastic that can crack. Garbage disposals get installed and connected during the same visit when needed.
Faucets of any style, configuration, or hole pattern (1-hole, 3-hole, or with deck plates) are handled expertly. Moving your sink’s location is more complex — we reroute drains, vents, and supply lines with proper permits and inspections included.
Dishwasher & Other Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installs include connecting hot water lines and routing drain hoses with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. We check the unit’s electrical requirements and communicate with your electrician as needed. For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines, securely supported and with accessible shut-off valves behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. RO systems get their own faucet installed, supply and drain lines set up, and we’ll help you understand how to maintain the filters. Give us a ring at 630-332-8735 for any appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a gas cooktop? We size lines for the BTU load of your appliance, route from your meter or existing supply, fit shut-off valves, connect with code-approved flexible tubing, and perform thorough pressure testing. We manage permits and inspections too for peace of mind. See our gas line services page for more details.
Important: gas line rough-ins should happen before cabinets and counters are installed. Running lines after cabinetry is a major hassle and can cause damage, so plan with your contractor and us early on.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are convenient faucets mounted above the stove to fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. We run a cold water line inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches high and roughly 4 inches from the stove centerline. It’s straightforward during remodels with open walls. For finished kitchens, we can cut into the wall with minimal mess but it’s a bit more work. Call 630-332-8735 to plan your pot filler setup.
Island Sink & Drain Venting
Installing a sink on a kitchen island requires special venting since it doesn’t tie into a wall vent stack like traditional sinks. Code-compliant options include island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAV), depending on local rules. Supply lines are straightforward, but drain and vent routing beneath the subfloor and back into the island cabinet needs careful design. We’ve tackled many island sink projects, so call us early to work out the best approach for your layout.

Kitchen Plumbing Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, moving your sink to an island is doable but more involved due to venting challenges. Island sinks require either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve to meet code.
