Kitchen Plumbing Renovations in Hebron, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be anything from quick faucet swaps and appliance hookups to extensive projects like relocating the sink to an island, installing new gas lines for appliances, adding prep sinks, or setting up pot fillers. The size of the job impacts cost, timing, and permits needed. Whatever you need, we've got the skills and experience to get it done right.
When planning your remodel, a quick tip: get the plumber involved before the cabinets go in. Moving the sink means rerouting drains and vents, which is best done while the subfloor is exposed. Gas line installation for a new stove or island cooktop should be finished before cabinetry is installed. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall, so it’s simpler before backsplashes are tiled. Scheduling plumbing work early helps keep your project on track.
We also provide individual kitchen plumbing repairs and installations like faucet replacement, garbage disposal service, dishwasher hookups, and fridge water line installs even if you're not remodeling. Remodeling is also a good time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear slow kitchen drains before closing up cabinets. Call us at 779-217-8588 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Setup
We install all types of kitchen sinks, including undermount (which requires careful countertop coordination), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our sink installations include assembling the drain basket, strainer, and P-trap, plus attaching hot and cold braided stainless supply lines—far more durable than old plastic. When needed, we also handle garbage disposal installation and connection in the same visit.
For faucets, we fit every style, ensure correct mountings—whether 1-hole, 3-hole, or with deck plates—and pressure test all connections before finishing. If your remodel involves moving the sink to a new spot, we take care of the additional drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extensions, including handling the required permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Dishwasher installations include connecting the hot water supply, routing the dishwasher drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and confirming the electric supply is safely configured with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line from the nearest supply, using copper or braided stainless tubing, supported properly, and with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we handle the faucet installation on the sink surface, connect supply and drain lines, and can guide you on filter maintenance. Reach out at 779-217-8588 for any kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Whether you're switching from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop in a new island, we install gas lines correctly sized for your appliance’s BTUs. We run piping from your gas main, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible connectors approved by code, and conduct pressure testing. We take care of all required permits and inspections to keep everything above board. Check our gas line services page for more on our gas installation process and safety standards.
Keep in mind: gas line rough-ins must be done before the cabinets go in. Running lines after cabinetry is installed is a headache and disrupts your kitchen. Coordinate this step early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall over your range makes filling large pots easy without lugging them from the sink. Installing one requires running a cold water supply inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above floor level, roughly four inches to the side of the cooktop centerline. Installation is straightforward during remodels when walls are open; for finished kitchens, it involves cutting and patching drywall or tile. Call 779-217-8588 to find out what your options are.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Installing an island sink presents plumbing challenges because there’s no traditional wall vent to connect the drain. Proper venting requires an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes in the Hebron area. Running hot and cold water to the island is straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes need precise runs below the floor and back up through the island cabinet. We’re experienced in this kind of work and can help you plan your island sink plumbing correctly.

Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the trickier plumbing jobs because island sinks require special venting like an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV). Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes must be carefully routed through the floor and cabinet. We have plenty of experience with island sinks—call us early to help you plan your layout and avoid surprises.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same spot—like faucets, disposals, or dishwashers—you usually don’t need a permit. But if you’re rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, running gas lines, or changing plumbing locations, permits are required. We handle all permitting and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Yes, that’s one of our specialties. Running gas lines is best done with walls open, so remodeling is the perfect time. We size and install the line properly, test for leaks, and take care of permits. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets go in.
Definitely. We often work as the plumbing subcontractor on remodel projects, syncing our schedule with your general contractor and making sure permits are in place. Early coordination helps keep your remodel smooth. Call 779-217-8588 to get us involved early.
