Expert Kitchen Remodel Plumbing in Libertyville, IL
Whether it’s a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul, we’ve got you covered. Tasks might include relocating sinks, installing gas lines for new ranges, adding prep sinks, or setting up pot fillers. Each project’s size affects price, schedule, and whether permits are needed. No matter the job, we manage all the plumbing details.
My best tip? Bring us in early—before cabinets are installed. Moving plumbing, especially drains, is far simpler when the subfloor is exposed. Need a gas line to an island cooktop? That rough-in must happen before cabinetry goes up. Pot filler installs require access inside the wall, so earlier is better before tile work starts. Getting plumbing scheduled early helps your whole remodel stay on track here in Libertyville, especially with our variable Illinois weather.
We also handle service calls unrelated to remodels—like faucet repairs, disposal fixes, dishwasher hookups, or running a new refrigerator water line. Kitchen remodels are a good opportunity to check your water heater's capacity and clear any slow drains before cabinets go back in. Reach out at 224-207-4285 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Setup
We handle all types of kitchen sinks: undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single and double bowls, plus prep sinks. Installation includes fitting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting braided stainless supply lines—no flimsy plastic here. We also install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit when needed.
Faucet installs cover every mounting style—single-hole, three-hole, or deck-plate. We pressure-test the connections to ensure no leaks. Moving the sink? That involves more extensive work rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines, including obtaining permits and inspections. We handle all that for you without hassle.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers properly—running hot water supply, routing drain lines with necessary high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and reviewing electrical needs with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we add a separate faucet on the sink deck and connect supply and waste lines, plus walk you through filter maintenance. Give us a call at 224-207-4285 for any appliance plumbing jobs.
Gas Line Installations for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading to a gas range, or adding a cooktop on your island? We take care of the gas line installation from start to finish: calculating pipe size for BTU demands, running line from your gas meter, installing shutoff valves, connecting appliances with code-approved fittings, performing pressure tests, and managing permits and inspections.
Important: gas line installation must be done before cabinets go in. Trying to add or reroute gas lines after cabinetry is a big headache and more costly. Plan ahead with your GC and us to keep things smooth.
Pot Filler Faucet Installations
A pot filler faucet mounted above the stove lets you fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. We run a cold water supply line inside the wall, usually about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and just off-center from the range. While easiest during open-wall remodels, we can also install pot fillers in finished kitchens with minimal patchwork. Call us at 224-207-4285 to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Plumbing for island sinks is trickier than wall-mounted sinks because they can’t tie into the vent stack like normal. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) compliant with local codes to keep drains flowing right. Supply lines are straightforward—hot and cold lines run from the nearest main—but routing drain and vent pipes below the subfloor and back up into the island requires expert planning. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs—call us before locking in your layout.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location early: Moving sinks is the priciest plumbing change—lock down placement before demo and cabinet orders.
- Install gas lines before cabinetry: Gas piping must be roughed in prior to cabinet installation.
- Pot fillers before backsplash: Wall access is easier before tile or backsplash goes up.
- Upgrade shutoffs while exposed: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during remodels for better reliability.
- Run fridge water lines before counters: Easier access before countertops are installed.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
It sure can, but relocating a sink to an island is one of the more complicated plumbing jobs. Island sinks require special venting solutions like island loop vents or air admittance valves since they can’t connect to the wall vent stack normally. Water supply is easier to run, but drain and vent routing below the floor needs careful planning. We do this work often—give us a call at 224-207-4285 to discuss your layout before you finalize plans.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot—like faucet replacements or disposal installs—usually permits aren’t required. But if you’re rerouting drain lines, installing new supply lines, working on gas piping, or changing the kitchen layout, permits and inspections are mandatory. We handle all permitting and inspection coordination for our projects.
Yes. Installing gas lines during a remodel is ideal since walls are open. We size and install gas piping for stoves, cooktops, and ovens according to code, pressure test the lines, and handle permits and inspections. Scheduling this before cabinets are installed prevents costly rework.
Definitely. We work alongside GCs and kitchen designers as your plumbing subcontractor. We align our rough-in and finish plumbing work with your project schedule and manage permits. Contact us at 224-207-4285 so we can fit into your timeline early on.
