Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Dekalb, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out fixtures or embarking on a full kitchen renovation, we’ve got the plumbing covered. From faucet replacements and disposal hookups to relocating sinks, installing new gas lines for your stove, or prepping for that pot filler faucet, the work can range from a few hours to a multi-day project. The scope affects your cost, timeline, and whether permits come into play. We take care of all that.
Here’s a quick tip when remodeling: bring us in before cabinets get installed. If your plan includes moving the sink, rerouting drain lines is much easier with the subfloor exposed. Gas line runs for new cooktops or ranges must happen before the cabinetry goes in. Installing a pot filler requires opening the wall behind your stove, which is simpler before tiling. Scheduling your plumber early helps keep your project on track — especially with Illinois weather sometimes causing delays around here.
Aside from remodeling, we handle regular kitchen plumbing tasks too — faucet swaps, disposal repairs, dishwasher connections, and refrigerator water line setups. Remodeling is a perfect time to check if your water heater can keep up with new appliances or fix any slow drains before counters go back in. Call 779-217-8463 for all your kitchen plumbing needs.
What Kitchen Plumbing Services We Offer
Sink & Faucet Setup
We install every type of kitchen sink — undermount (coordinated with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse styles, one or two bowls, even prep sinks. This includes fitting drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and connecting water lines. We use braided stainless steel supply lines to avoid issues with brittle plastic tubing. Garbage disposals get installed and hooked up during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we handle all mounting styles — single-hole, three-hole, with or without deck plates — and test everything under pressure before leaving. Moving sinks to new spots involves rewiring drains and vents, plus extending water lines. We take care of permits and inspections when relocating plumbing.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include attaching the hot water line, routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and verifying power supply compatibility (electrician work). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line with proper shutoff valves easily accessible behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO, we drill sink deck holes for dedicated faucets and hook up supply and waste lines while advising on filter upkeep. Reach out at 779-217-8463 to discuss your appliance plumbing.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Equipment
Adding or moving a gas stove or cooktop? We install gas piping sized to match your appliance's BTU needs, route from your meter or supply, add shutoff valves, connect with flexible code-approved fittings, conduct pressure tests, and pull permits. Learn more about our gas line work on our gas line services page.
Keep in mind, if you want a gas line run to an island or new kitchen location, it must be done before cabinetry is installed. Trying to route gas lines after cabinets are in place is a headache, so coordinate with your general contractor and us early.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are convenient faucets mounted on the wall above your stove to fill pots without lugging water across the kitchen. We run a cold water line inside the wall roughly 56 to 60 inches off the floor and about 4 inches from the stove center. It’s easiest to install during remodeling phases with open walls, but we can fit pot fillers in finished kitchens with some wall patching and repainting. Give us a call to plan the best approach.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks require special venting solutions because the drain can’t tie into a wall stack like normal. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves depending on local codes. Water supply lines for hot and cold are run from the closest main. The drain and vent run under the subfloor and up into the island cabinetry, which needs careful design. We work through these challenges often — chat with us before finalizing your island plans.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, that’s a common upgrade, but it’s more complicated than a typical sink swap because island drains need special venting like an island loop or an air admittance valve. Water supply is easy to run, but the drain line must be carefully routed below the floor. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs—give us a call before you finalize your island layout.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot (like a faucet or disposal), usually no permits are needed. But any work involving drain rerouting, new water supply lines, gas line installation, or moving plumbing will require permits and inspections. We handle all that paperwork for you.
Definitely. Installing new gas lines is best done during remodeling when walls are open. We handle everything — from pipe sizing to pressure testing and pulling permits — ensuring your stove or cooktop connects safely and meets code.
Yes, we often work alongside general contractors and kitchen designers. We schedule our rough-in and finish plumbing around your project timeline and take care of permitting. Bring us in early at 779-217-8463, so everything flows smoothly.
