Expert Kitchen Remodel Plumbing in Fort Sheridan, IL
Whether you just need a faucet swapped out and your disposal hooked up or you’re moving the sink to an island and adding gas lines for your new range, our team is ready to tackle the job. Some projects wrap up in a few hours, while others require multiple days with permits and inspections. No matter the size, we’ve got it covered.
Here’s a tip: call us early in your remodel. Ideally, before cabinets go in. If you’re relocating the sink, drain pipes should be rerouted while the subfloor is exposed. New gas lines need to be installed before the cabinetry is set. Pot filler faucet installs are much simpler when the wall behind the stove is open. Coordinating plumbing early avoids delays and costly rework down the line.
We also handle service calls outside of remodels — faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and fridge water line installs. Plus, a kitchen remodel is a great time to check your water heater’s capacity and to clear slow drains with professional drain cleaning. Reach out anytime at 708-742-7107.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks — undermount, farmhouse, drop-in, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes connecting drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and reliable braided stainless steel supply lines instead of outdated plastic tubing. When applicable, we install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit.
For faucets, we handle everything from single-hole to three-hole set ups, including deck plates. We pressure-test all connections before finishing. Moving the sink to a new spot means rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines. That’s a bigger job, but one we handle regularly, complete with permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include hooking up the hot water supply and correctly routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We also verify the electrical setup with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines using copper or stainless steel tubing, with accessible shut-off valves behind the fridge.
We can also connect instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation and maintenance guidance. Call us at 708-742-7107 to get your appliances connected properly.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch to a gas stove or add a cooktop on your island? We install gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU rating, run piping from your gas meter or existing line, install shut-off valves, and connect with flexible, code-compliant materials. Each installation includes pressure testing and permit coordination for safety and code compliance. Visit our gas line services page for more details.
Keep in mind: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinetry goes in. Running gas lines through finished kitchens means tearing out cabinets and walls, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Early planning is key.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted above the stove adds convenience for filling large pots without heavy lifting. Installing one requires running a cold water line inside the wall behind the range, typically about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and near the stovetop center. This installation is easiest during remodeling with open walls; we can also work on finished walls with some repair and repainting afterward. Call us to chat about your setup.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks require special plumbing because the drain can’t connect to a wall vent as usual. We install code-approved island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs), depending on local requirements. Supply lines are run from the nearest water source, but the drain and vent routing through the floor and under the subfloor involves precise planning. We’ve installed many island sinks in this area and can help you lay out your plumbing before you commit to island placement.

Tips on Scheduling Your Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving your sink is the costliest change; decide early.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinetry: Installing gas lines afterward is tricky and costly.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash goes in: Opening walls is easier before tile installation.
- Upgrade shut-off valves while plumbing’s exposed: Swap old gate valves for durable ball valves during remodel.
- Run refrigerator water lines before counters: Easier access before countertops are set makes the job quicker.
Kitchen Remodeling Questions
Definitely. Moving the sink to an island is a popular but complex job because it requires special venting like an island loop vent or air admittance valve. Running supply lines is straightforward, but drain and vent piping under the floor need careful planning. We install island sinks frequently—call 708-742-7107 before you finalize your kitchen design.
Simple fixture swaps like replacing a faucet or disposal usually don’t require permits. However, any time you reroute drains, add new supply lines, or install gas lines, a permit is needed. We handle all permit paperwork and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Yes, and we highly recommend installing gas lines during your remodel when walls are open. We size the pipe for your appliance, connect it safely, pressure test the system, and take care of permits. Schedule this before cabinetry is installed to avoid headaches.
