Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing in Clarendon Hills, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap, garbage disposal hookup, or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul—including moving the sink, adding gas lines for new ranges, or installing a pot filler—we cover all bases. The project size impacts the cost, schedule, and permit needs. Whatever you’re planning, our team has you covered.
Planning your remodel? Give us a call at 630-526-6231 early on. It’s best to have plumbing done before cabinets and countertops go in. Moving a sink means rerouting drains and vents under the subfloor, so timing is critical. Gas lines for cooktops or islands require early rough-in before cabinetry. Installing a pot filler involves opening walls behind the stove, easier before tile work. Proper planning prevents costly delays, especially here in Clarendon Hills where older homes sometimes need careful trenchless pipe work.
Besides remodels, we handle kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades too: faucet replacements, disposal maintenance, dishwasher installs, and fridge water lines. It’s a good time to check your water heater capacity if you’re adding appliances, or to clear slow kitchen drains before closing up the cabinets. Reach out at 630-526-6231 for all your kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installations
We install every sink style you’ll find in kitchens around Clarendon Hills: undermount (requires tight coordination with your countertop fabricator), farmhouse, drop-in, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes the drain assembly, basket strainer, P-trap, and hot/cold braided stainless supply lines—no cheap plastic that cracks over time. We connect garbage disposals as part of the process when needed, too.
Faucets come in many configurations: 1-hole, 3-hole with deck plates, pull-out sprayers, touchless, and more. We handle the mounting, secure connections, and pressure test everything before signing off. Relocating sinks? That’s a bigger job involving drain and vent rerouting plus supply line extensions. We take care of permits and inspection for those projects as well.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher plumbing includes connecting the hot water supply and routing drain lines with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent contamination. While electrical hookup is the electrician’s job, we coordinate with them to ensure smooth installation. We also install dedicated water lines for refrigerator ice makers or water dispensers, using durable copper or stainless tubing with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
Other appliances we connect include instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we install separate faucet mounts, connect supply and drainage, and provide guidance on filter upkeep. Call us at 630-526-6231 anytime for appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas for your range or adding a cooktop in the island? We run the right sized gas pipe from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, and connect appliances using approved flexible connectors. After installation, we perform a full pressure test and handle all permits and inspections to meet local codes.
Important tip: gas lines for islands or new appliance locations must be roughed-in before cabinets go in. Modifying gas lines with cabinetry in place gets complicated and messy. Plan ahead with your general contractor and give us a call early in your project.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted over your stove makes filling large pots hassle-free. This requires running a cold water line behind the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and just a few inches offset from the cooking surface. During remodels, this is an easy install while walls are open. We can retrofit pot fillers in finished kitchens too, but that entails some wall repair and finishing work. Contact us to talk through your options.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Island sinks present unique plumbing challenges because the drain can’t tie into a vent stack in the wall like usual. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAV) compliant with local code. Supply lines come from the nearest source, but drains and vents run under the subfloor and back up into the island cabinet. We’ve done many island sink installs and can guide your layout for a smooth plumbing setup.

Kitchen Remodel FAQs
Yes, but it’s more involved than a standard sink install because island sinks need special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running supply lines is straightforward, but drain and vent piping goes beneath the floor and requires careful design. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs here in Clarendon Hills—call us to discuss your layout before you finalize your kitchen plans.
Replacing fixtures like faucets, disposals, or hooking up dishwashers in the same spot usually doesn’t require a permit. But any rerouting of drain lines, new supply rough-ins, changes to gas lines, or moving plumbing fixtures will require permits. We take care of filing permits and scheduling inspections as part of our service.
