Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Downers Grove, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul, we handle it all. From installing new sinks and disposals to relocating plumbing lines for islands or adding gas lines for ranges, every job is tailored to fit your project’s size and timeline. We know permits matter and will guide you through that process as needed.
My best tip? Bring in your plumber early — before cabinets go in. Moving your sink means rerouting drain pipes when the floor is accessible. Adding a gas line for a new stove or island cooktop has to happen before cabinetry is set. Pot filler installs require wall access, so it's far easier before backsplash tile is installed. Scheduling plumbing early keeps your remodel on track, especially with Illinois' variable weather that can shift project timing.
We also take care of standalone kitchen plumbing needs like faucet replacement, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs—even if you're not remodeling. Plus, a kitchen remodel is a good time to check your water heater capacity and clear slow kitchen drains before cabinets are reinstalled. Call us any time at 331-260-0956.
Our Range of Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installations
We install all kinds of kitchen sinks — undermount, farmhouse, drop-in, single or double basin, and prep sinks. Our work includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, and P-trap, plus connecting braided stainless steel supply lines, which are far more durable than old plastic tubing. We can also hook up or replace your garbage disposal during the same visit.
When moving your sink to a new spot, that job involves rerouting drains, adjusting vent pipes, and extending supply lines. We take care of all that with proper permits and inspections to keep everything up to code.
Dishwasher and Appliance Connections
We handle dishwasher connections — hot water line, proper drain routing with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and we coordinate with electricians to ensure power is correctly set up. For refrigerators with ice makers, we install a dedicated cold water line using copper or braided stainless tubing with shutoff valves placed for easy access behind the fridge.
Plus, we set up instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation and connecting supply and drain lines. Reach out at 331-260-0956 for any kitchen appliance plumbing service.
Gas Line Installations for Cooking Appliances
Converting from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop? We handle everything from sizing the pipe based on your appliance’s BTUs, running the gas line from the meter or supply, installing shutoff valves, connecting with flexible fittings, and pressure testing. We also manage permits and inspections to keep things safe and legal.
Important: gas line work needs to be done before cabinets are installed. Trying to run a gas line after the fact can be costly and disruptive — especially in established homes here in Downers Grove. Plan with your contractor and us early to avoid delays.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet makes filling pots at the stove easy without lugging water around. We run a cold water line inside the wall about two feet above the cooktop and install the faucet. It’s easiest during a remodel when walls are open, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with minimal mess. Contact us at 331-260-0956 to discuss your pot filler setup.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Island sinks present unique challenges because the drain can’t vent through a wall stack the usual way. We install an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Running hot and cold water supply to the island is straightforward, but the drain needs careful routing under the floor and back up into the cabinet. We’re experienced with these setups — call us to plan your island plumbing before the layout is finalized.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement early: Moving sinks adds cost — decide before demo and cabinet ordering
- Install gas lines before cabinets: Running gas to islands or new stove locations must happen first
- Put in pot fillers before backsplash: Wall openings for pot fillers are easiest before tile goes up
- Replace old shutoff valves while accessible: Old gate valves often fail, so swap them for ball valves during remodel
- Run fridge water lines prior to countertop installation: Easier to route water lines before counters are set
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s a complex task because island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Water supply is pretty straightforward, but the drain pipe needs to be carefully routed under the floor. We do this work regularly—give us a call at 331-260-0956 so we can help you plan before your layout is finalized.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spots, usually no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, running new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the kitchen plumbing layout, permits are required. We handle all the paperwork and inspections for you.
Definitely. Installing a gas line works best during remodeling when walls are open. We take care of sizing, routing, connecting, pressure testing, and securing the necessary permits. Plan to get this done before cabinets go in to avoid costly work later.
