Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in Spring Valley, IL
Whether you’re making small updates like swapping out a faucet or installing a new garbage disposal, or tackling a bigger project like moving the sink to an island, adding a gas line for your stove, or putting in a pot filler, we’ve got you covered. The complexity of the work affects cost and timing, and sometimes you’ll need permits — we manage all of it.
My recommendation? Get your plumber involved before the cabinets arrive. If you’re moving the sink, the drain rerouting is much easier when the subfloor is accessible. Installing a gas line for a new range or island cooktop needs to happen early, before cabinets are set. Pot fillers require wall access behind the stove, which is simplest before backsplash tile goes up. Planning plumbing early smooths your remodel and avoids delays.
We also offer stand-alone kitchen plumbing services for things like faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installs — even if you’re not remodeling. While you’re remodeling, it’s a great chance to make sure your water heater can handle the extra demand and to clear any slow drains before cabinets are back in place. Give us a call at 779-217-8459 for all your kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Service Offerings
Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle every type of kitchen sink—undermount (we coordinate countertop cutouts), drop-in, apron-front farmhouse, single- or double-bowl, even prep sinks. We install all drain components including basket strainers and P-traps. Our team uses braided stainless steel supply lines for durability, not the brittle plastic types that often fail. We also install and connect garbage disposals during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we fit all styles and handle different mounting setups like single-hole, three-hole, or deck-plate configurations. Before finishing, we test connections thoroughly under pressure. Moving a sink location is a bigger job involving drain rerouting, vent changes, and supply line extensions. We’re fully licensed to pull permits and handle inspections for this work.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installations include hooking up hot water supply lines, routing drain hoses with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and verifying electrical setups with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit, using copper or stainless steel piping secured properly.
We also install instant hot water dispensers and under-sink water filtration or reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, we’ll cut the sink deck to install the dedicated faucet, connect all water and drain lines, and advise on cartridge maintenance schedules. Call us at 779-217-8459 for professional connections on all your kitchen appliances.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking about switching to gas cooking or adding a cooktop on an island? We run new gas lines sized to fit your appliance’s BTU needs. We route pipe from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect with code-approved flexible connectors, and perform pressure tests. Permits and inspections are part of our process for safety and compliance. Check out our gas line services page for more details.
Important: new gas lines, especially to kitchen islands, must be roughed in before cabinets go up. Trying to install gas piping later can be tricky and expensive. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above your stove to fill pots right at the cooktop, saving you from lugging heavy pots of water. It requires a cold water line run inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and roughly four inches to the side of the stove’s center. This is easiest during remodeling with open walls but can be done in finished kitchens with some wall patching and touch-ups. Give us a call to talk about your setup.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island involves extra plumbing steps because you can’t vent the drain the usual way through a nearby wall stack. Island sinks need either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes must come up through the floor and often under the subfloor, requiring precise planning and installation. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs and can help you design the plumbing layout before you finalize your plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location early: Moving the sink is the priciest plumbing change, so lock it down before ordering cabinets
- Install gas lines before cabinetry: Gas rough-ins must be done ahead of cabinet installation
- Pot filler before backsplash tile: Easier to open the wall prior to tiling
- Upgrade shutoff valves now: Old gate valves often leak, so swap for ball valves while plumbing is accessible
- Fridge water line before countertops: Running the ice maker line is simpler if done before counter installation
Frequently Asked Questions about Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but keep in mind it’s one of the more challenging plumbing tasks because island sinks need special venting methods like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running water lines is pretty straightforward, but drain and vent pipes must be routed carefully through the floor. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks — call us at 779-217-8459 to plan out your island before finalizing your layout.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot—like swapping a faucet or installation of a disposal or dishwasher—you usually don’t need a permit. But any work involving drain rerouting, new supply lines, gas piping, or changing the layout will require permits. Our team handles all the paperwork and inspection scheduling for you.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines is safer and easier during a remodel with open walls. We size the piping properly, connect it with approved fittings, perform pressure tests, and make sure all permits and inspections are in place. Plan to have your gas line installed before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
