Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services in La Fox, IL
Kitchen plumbing jobs can be quick fixes like swapping out a faucet or installing a new garbage disposal, or they can be larger projects such as relocating sinks, running new gas lines for stoves, adding prep sinks, or prepping for pot filler faucets. Each project varies in time, cost, and permit needs, but we manage every detail from start to finish.
If you’re planning a kitchen update, I recommend calling us at 779-217-8828 early in the process. For example, if the sink’s location changes, plumbing rerouting has to happen when the subfloor is accessible. Installing a gas line for a new cooktop or stove happens before cabinets are installed. And pot fillers require opening the wall behind the stove—much easier when the backsplash isn’t up yet. Getting your plumber involved early will save headaches and delays.
We also offer standalone kitchen plumbing services like faucet repairs, garbage disposal maintenance, dishwasher hook-ups, and refrigerator water line installs. Remodeling is also a great chance to check your water heater capacity or fix slow kitchen drains before cabinetry is in place. Give us a call at 779-217-8828 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install a wide range of sinks: undermount (we coordinate counter cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and secure supply lines. We use braided stainless steel supply lines for durability—not those brittle plastic ones. We also hook up garbage disposals during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle all types and mounting setups (single-hole, three-hole, deck plate). We test every connection under pressure before signing off. Moving the sink’s location means rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines—that’s a bigger job but one we’re fully licensed to do, including pulling permits.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include hooking up hot water supply, routing drain lines with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking the electrical supply (which we coordinate with your electrician). We also install water lines for refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, using copper or braided stainless tubing with accessible shutoff valves behind the fridge.
Additional appliance connections include instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO systems, we install the dedicated faucet on your sink, connect supply and drain lines, and advise on filter upkeep. Call 779-217-8828 for any plumbing connections in your kitchen.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas? We install properly sized gas lines for ranges, ovens, and cooktops. Our process includes running line from your meter or main feed, installing a shutoff valve, connecting with code-compliant flexible connectors, pressure-testing, and handling permits and inspections. See our gas line services page for full details on our safety procedures.
Important heads-up: if adding a gas line to an island or new appliance location, do this before cabinets go in. It’s much harder and more invasive to install gas lines after cabinetry is set. Plan early with your GC and call us to get it on the schedule.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above the stove makes filling large pots easier by the cooktop. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall roughly 56 to 60 inches from the floor, about 4 inches from the stove centerline. It’s a straightforward install during a remodel when walls are open; in finished kitchens, we cut into walls, patch, and finish afterward with minimal mess. Call 779-217-8828 to talk through your pot filler options.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks are a bit trickier because the drain can't vent through a typical wall stack. They require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor and back up inside the island needs careful planning. We’ve installed many island sinks in the La Fox area and can guide you through the options before you finalize your plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement early: Moving the sink requires extensive plumbing changes—decide before cabinets are ordered.
- Install gas lines before cabinets: Running gas lines to new locations must be done prior to cabinetry installation.
- Pot fillers before backsplash: It’s much easier to open walls before tile or backsplash goes in.
- Replace shutoff valves while exposed: Old gate valves often fail; upgrade to ball valves when plumbing is accessible.
- Run fridge water lines early: Ice maker lines are easier to install before countertops are set.
Kitchen Remodeling Questions
Definitely. Moving the sink to an island is more involved because you need special venting like an island loop or an air admittance valve. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drain and vent lines under the floor requires planning. We’ve done many island sink installs around La Fox—give us a call at 779-217-8828 to discuss your layout before you finalize it.
If you’re just swapping a faucet, disposal, or hooking up a dishwasher in the same location, usually no permit is needed. But any work that involves rerouting drain lines, installing new supply lines, adding a gas line, or changing the kitchen layout requires permits. We handle the permitting and inspection process for you to keep everything above board.
