Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in Cicero, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet and hooking up a new disposal or undertaking a major kitchen upgrade involving moving the sink, installing gas lines for a new stove, or adding a pot filler faucet, we’ve got the skills and experience to get the job done. The project size impacts cost, timing, and permitting, but whatever your needs, our team handles it with professionalism.
My recommendation when you call us at 708-726-5506 is to schedule the plumbing work well before your cabinets go in. Moving the sink means the drain reroute should happen while the subfloor is exposed. Gas line installations for stoves or cooktops need to be roughed in before cabinetry arrives. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall behind the cooktop, which is easiest before tile or backsplash work. Planning early keeps your remodel on track without costly delays.
We also offer standalone kitchen plumbing services, including faucet replacements, disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installs for existing kitchens. If you’re remodeling, it’s a good chance to check if your water heater can meet the new demands and clear any slow drains with professional drain cleaning. Reach out anytime at 708-726-5506.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We fit every type of kitchen sink: undermount (we’ll coordinate the counter cutout), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Sink installs always include assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting the water supply with quality braided stainless steel lines — none of that brittle plastic stuff. When applicable, we install and hook up trash disposals as well.
Faucet installs cover all styles and mounting types (single-hole, three-hole with deck plates). We pressure-test every connection before signing off. Relocating a sink means a bigger project — rerouting drains, adjusting vents, extending supply lines — and we manage permits and inspections for that work too.
Dishwasher & Appliance Line Hookups
Dishwasher connections involve hooking up the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and verifying the electrical supply (we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line made of copper or braided stainless steel with proper support and an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units, including faucet installations and line connections. Just call 708-726-5506 for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen
Switching to gas? We run gas lines for ranges, ovens, and cooktops. We calculate the correct pipe size based on BTU requirements, route from your meter or existing gas line, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with code-approved flexible connectors, perform pressure tests, and handle permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for more details.
Keep in mind, if you’re running a gas line to an island or relocating appliances, this rough-in must happen before cabinets are installed. Doing this after cabinetry is in place means cutting and patching cabinets, which is a headache. Coordinate early with your contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers mount on the wall near the stove, providing easy access to fill large pots without hauling water across the kitchen. Installation requires running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and roughly 4 inches from the center of the range. This installation is straightforward during remodels with open walls, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with careful wall patching and finishing. Call 708-726-5506 to explore your options.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Plumbing an island sink is trickier because the drain can't tie directly into wall vents. These require either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to meet code. Running water supply is pretty direct, but routing drains and vents beneath the floor and back up into the island cabinetry needs precision. We’ve done plenty of these and can guide you through the best approach based on local codes. Reach out before finalizing your island plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Finalize sink location before demolition: Moving the sink is the priciest plumbing change — lock in your layout early.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas piping needs access before cabinetry is installed.
- Pot filler line before backsplash: It’s simpler to open walls prior to tiling.
- Replace shutoff valves while accessible: Old gate valves should be swapped out for ball valves during remodels.
- Install fridge water line before countertops: Easier to run lines before counters are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing moves in a kitchen. The island drain needs special venting like an island loop or air admittance valve. Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drain and vent routing through the floor takes experience. We do island sink installations often—call us at 708-726-5506 to discuss your plans before settling your design.
Replacing fixtures in the same location like faucets, disposals, or dishwashers usually doesn’t require a permit. But if you’re moving drains, running new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the layout, permits and inspections are required. We manage the permitting process from start to finish.
Yes, and it’s best done during the remodel when walls are still open. We handle gas line runs for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, ensuring proper pipe sizing, tight connections, and pressure testing. We also secure all permits and inspections. Schedule your gas rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid costly workarounds.
