Trusted Kitchen Plumbing Services in Sycamore, IL
Kitchen plumbing work for remodeling can be anything from swapping out faucets and hooking up disposals to relocating sinks, installing new gas lines for ranges, or adding pot fillers. The project size sets the price, the timeline, and whether we need permits. No matter what you need, we’ve got it covered.
Here’s a pro tip: get the plumber involved before your cabinets go in, especially if you’re moving sinks or adding gas lines. Drain rerouting and gas line rough-ins are way easier when the floor and walls are open. Pot fillers need wall access before backsplash tiles go up. Getting ahead in the schedule avoids costly delays — that’s especially important here in Sycamore where weather can slow projects down.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing tasks, like faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and fridge water lines — even if you’re not remodeling. Plus, it’s smart during a kitchen update to check your water heater’s capacity and flush out sluggish kitchen drains early. Give us a call at 779-217-8369 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We’re experienced with all sink types: undermount, farmhouse/apron front, drop-in, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our work includes installing strainers, drain baskets, P-traps, and connecting braided stainless supply lines instead of brittle plastic ones. We also install garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
Faucet installation covers all mounting styles — from single-hole to three-hole with deck plates — and we pressure test every connection before finishing the job. Moving a sink to a new spot involves drain and vent rerouting, plus supply line extensions — all handled with the proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We hook up dishwashers with hot water supply lines and make sure the drain hose has a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. Refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers get their own cold water lines with shutoff valves installed behind the unit. We use copper or braided stainless tubing depending on what’s best.
We also install instant hot water dispensers and under-sink water filtration or reverse osmosis systems, routing supply and waste lines and adding dedicated faucets when needed. Call us at 779-217-8369 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch from electric to gas, or add a gas cooktop in your island? We run gas lines sized correctly for your appliance’s BTU needs, install shutoff valves, connect flexible connectors, pressure test everything, and manage permits and inspections. It’s important to schedule gas line installation before cabinets go in to avoid tearing down finished work later.
We recommend coordinating early with your general contractor and us to make sure the gas rough-in fits your kitchen’s timeline and layout.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers bring cold water right to your range so you don’t have to carry heavy pots from the sink. We run a dedicated cold line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor, usually just beside the stove. Installing one is easiest during remodels when walls are open; finished kitchens require opening and repairing walls. Call to explore options for your kitchen.
Island Sink Installation & Drain Venting
Installing an island sink is tricky because you can’t tie the drain into a wall vent like usual. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves based on local code, run hot and cold water supply lines from the nearest source, and carefully route drains through and under your floor. We’ve done plenty of these setups, so give us a shout before you finalize your island design.

Key Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location early: Sink moves are costly, so lock in placement before demolition and cabinet ordering.
- Complete gas line rough-in first: Gas piping must go in before cabinetry and walls are closed up.
- Install pot fillers before tile: Accessing the wall is much simpler without backsplash tiles.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while exposed: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during remodeling to avoid future leaks.
- Run refrigerator water lines early: Easier before countertops are installed and sealed.
