Plumbing Solutions for Kitchen Remodels in Richton Park, IL
Whether it’s a quick faucet swap, adding a new garbage disposal, or tackling a full kitchen overhaul with sink relocation, gas line installation, or extra prep sinks, we cover all the plumbing needs your project requires. The scope you choose affects your schedule and whether permits are needed — we’re fully prepared to manage it from start to finish.
Here’s a tip from me: get your plumber involved early, ideally before the cabinets go in. Moving sinks means rerouting drains while subfloor access is open. Want a gas line for your new stove or island cooktop? That rough-in has to happen before cabinetry is installed. Pot filler installation calls for opening the wall behind the stove, so last-minute tile work can complicate things. Planning plumbing first keeps your remodel on track without surprises.
We also handle kitchen plumbing services for everyday needs outside of remodels — faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or water lines for your fridge. It’s also a smart time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear any slow-draining sinks before putting cabinets back in place. Reach out at 708-726-8256 and we’ll take care of it.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Installing Kitchen Sinks & Faucets
We work with all sink styles: undermount sinks that need precise countertop cuts, drop-in models, farmhouse aprons, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes connecting the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and using braided stainless steel supply lines for hot and cold water — not brittle plastic lines that crack over time. Garbage disposals can be installed or replaced during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle all mounting types — whether one hole, three holes, or deck plates — and pressure test to ensure no leaks. If you plan on moving your sink to a different spot, that’s a bigger job involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extensions, which we manage with all necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing Connections
We connect your dishwasher’s hot water supply and install its drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow contamination. While the electrical hookup is up to your electrician, we coordinate to ensure everything works smoothly. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we’ll run a dedicated cold water line from the nearest source using copper or braided stainless tubing, complete with an accessible shutoff valve behind the unit.
We also install under-sink water filtration units, instant hot water taps, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO systems, we fit a dedicated faucet, hook up supply and wastewater lines, and offer advice on filter upkeep. Call us anytime at 708-726-8256 for appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching from electric to gas? Adding a gas cooktop on your island? We do complete gas line installation—sizing the pipe for your appliance’s BTUs, running it from the gas meter or existing supply, fitting shutoff valves, connecting with approved flexible connectors, pressure testing, and pulling the permits. Visit our gas line services page for all the details on how we keep your kitchen safe and code-compliant.
Important: gas line rough-in needs to happen before cabinets are installed. Trying to route gas lines after cabinetry is in place creates major headaches and extra expense. Coordinate with your GC and us early.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet lets you fill pots right at the stove, saving you from lugging heavy pots across the kitchen. Installation requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall behind the stove at about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and near the range’s centerline. It’s easiest during a remodel when walls are open, but we can install pot fillers in finished kitchens too with minimal wall access. Call 708-726-8256 to talk about your setup.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Plumbing an island sink is tricky because typical wall vent stacks aren’t accessible. To vent island drains correctly, we use either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local building codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drains through the floor and back up requires precise planning. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs here in south suburban homes and can guide you through the process before you finalize your kitchen layout.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Sink location decided before demo: Relocating sinks is the priciest plumbing change—lock in your sink spot before ordering cabinets.
- Gas line rough-in before cabinetry: New gas lines to islands or ranges must be roughed in prior to cabinet installation.
- Pot filler needs early wall access: It’s easier to open walls before backsplash tile is installed.
- Replace shutoff valves while exposed: Swap out old gate valves for ball valves during remodel for better reliability.
- Run fridge water lines early: Ice maker lines are simpler to install before countertops go in.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodel Plumbing
Yes, but keep in mind that island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) because they’re away from wall vent stacks. Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drain and vent routing through the floor needs careful planning. We do these installs often. Give us a call at 708-726-8256 to review your island design before you finalize your plans.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot like a faucet or garbage disposal, usually no permit is needed. But anytime you reroute drains, rough in new supply lines, install gas lines, or change your kitchen layout, permits and inspections are required. We take care of pulling permits and coordinating inspections to keep your project compliant.
Yes, and it’s best to do this while your walls are open during a remodel. We install properly sized, pressure-tested gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, handling all permits. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets are installed so the work fits smoothly into your project timeline.
