Kitchen Plumbing Services for Riverdale, IL Remodeling Projects
Whether you're swapping out fixtures like faucets and disposals or doing a bigger job like moving a sink to an island or running new gas lines for your stove, kitchen plumbing work varies widely. Some jobs take a few hours, others several days — and they all come with different permit requirements and costs. We’re here to tackle any size project with skill and care.
Here’s a tip for your remodel: bring us in before your cabinets go up. If the sink is moving, you'll want the drain and vent lines rerouted while floors are still open. Installing gas lines for a new cooktop or range needs to happen before cabinetry, too. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall behind the stove—easier before tile goes in. Scheduling plumbing early helps keep your project on track.
We also handle kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades without a full remodel: faucet changes, disposal repairs, dishwasher connections, fridge water lines, and more. Remodeling is also a good moment to check your water heater capacity and clear any clogged kitchen drains before final finishes go in. Call us at 708-809-2660 whenever you need reliable kitchen plumbing.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
From under-mount and farmhouse to drop-in and prep sinks, we install all styles. Our work includes fitting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting water supply lines with durable braided stainless steel hoses. We also take care of garbage disposal installation during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle every configuration—one-hole, three-hole, deck-mounted—and ensure everything is sealed and pressure-tested before we finish. Moving your sink to another spot? That involves drain and vent rerouting plus supply line extensions, which we manage fully with permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
We connect dishwashers with hot water supply and proper drain routing using high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and check that your electrical setup is ready (we coordinate with electricians as needed). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines, using copper or stainless tubing with accessible shutoff valves behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filters, and reverse osmosis systems, including dedicated faucets and proper drain and supply hookups. Reach out at 708-809-2660 for any kitchen appliance installation.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch your stove to gas or add a cooktop in an island? We size the gas piping to match your appliance's heat output, run lines from your gas meter or main supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible connectors, perform pressure tests, and handle all permits and inspections. Check out our gas line services for more details on how we keep it safe and compliant.
Important: gas line rough-ins must be done before your cabinets go in, especially if running lines to islands or new locations. Doing it afterward means tearing into finished work — so plan ahead with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove makes cooking easier by letting you fill pots right on the cooktop. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and near the stove. This is straightforward during a remodel when the wall is open. For finished kitchens, installation requires cutting into walls and refinishing afterward. Call 708-809-2660 to see what fits your space.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Plumbing an island sink is tricky because its drain can’t connect to normal wall vents. It requires either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) compliant with local codes. We’ll run your hot and cold supply lines from the nearest connection and plan the drain and vent routing under your floor carefully. Island plumbing is complex but routine for us — call to review your kitchen layout before finalizing plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Decide sink location before demolition: Moving a sink is one of the priciest plumbing changes — finalize placement early.
- Gas line rough-in ahead of cabinetry: New gas lines for islands or ranges must be installed prior to cabinet installation.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Opening walls for pot fillers is simpler before tile work.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during plumbing exposure.
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install before counters are set.
Kitchen Remodeling Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but it’s among the more complicated plumbing tasks. Island sinks require special venting—either an island loop vent or air admittance valve—to keep drains working properly. While connecting water supply is straightforward, routing the drain and vent through the floor involves careful planning. We’ve handled many island sink installations; call 708-809-2660 to talk over your kitchen layout before making final decisions.
Simple replacements like swapping a faucet, garbage disposal, or hooking up a dishwasher in the same spot often don’t need permits. But if you’re rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, changing the layout, or working with gas lines, permits and inspections are typically required. We manage all the paperwork and inspections to keep your project compliant.
