Plumbing Services for Kitchen Remodels in Dwight, IL
Kitchen plumbing work during remodels can be a quick fix like swapping out the faucet and hooking up a new disposal or dishwasher, or more involved like relocating the sink to an island, installing a gas line for a stove, adding additional prep sinks, or setting up a pot filler faucet. The project size affects the cost, timeline, and need for permits. No matter the job, we’ve got you covered.
My advice when you call us at 779-217-8807 is to get the plumber involved early—before cabinets are installed. If you're changing the sink location, the drain needs to be rerouted while the subfloor is still accessible. Running a gas line for a stove or island cooktop should happen before cabinetry goes in. Pot filler setup requires opening the wall behind the range, best done before backsplash tiles are set. Securing your plumber's spot early helps keep your remodel moving smoothly.
We also handle kitchen plumbing outside of remodels—replacement faucets, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water lines, the works. Remodeling is also a great opportunity to check your water heater’s capacity for new appliances and deal with any slow drains before the cabinets go back. Call 779-217-8807 anytime for help.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Installing Kitchen Sinks & Faucets
We fit all types of kitchen sinks: undermount (which requires precise countertop cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowls, plus prep sinks. Installation covers the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and supply connections. We use braided stainless steel lines for water supply, avoiding brittle plastic tubing. If you need, we connect garbage disposals during the same visit.
For faucets, we install every style and handle different mounting setups (1-hole, 3-hole, or deck plates). We test for leaks and proper function before wrapping up. Moving sinks to new locations requires rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines—that’s a larger job we’re equipped to complete with the necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
We connect dishwashers to hot water lines and hook up the drain hose with a proper air gap or high loop to comply with code and prevent backflow issues. We also check that the electrical setup is ready (though that’s an electrician’s job—we coordinate with them). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install a dedicated cold water supply line, securely supported, and add a shutoff valve accessible behind the fridge.
Additional appliance hookups include instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. We install the dedicated faucet, connect supply and drain lines, and provide advice on filter upkeep. Give us a call at 779-217-8807 for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Equipment
Switching to gas ranges or adding a gas cooktop? We size the gas piping based on BTU demands, run lines from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, and make flexible, code-approved connections. We pressure test everything to ensure safety and handle all permit and inspection requirements. Visit our gas line services page for details on our process.
Important note: new gas lines meant for islands or relocated appliances must be installed before cabinets go in. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry is a lot trickier and messier. Coordinate with your builder and our team early to keep your project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
Pot fillers provide a handy water source above your stove to fill pots without lugging heavy containers across the kitchen. Installation requires running a cold water line through the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor, roughly 4 inches from the stove’s centerline. Best done during remodeling when walls are open, it can also be fitted in finished kitchens with some wall patching and touchup. Call 779-217-8807 to discuss what will work for your space.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is a bit more involved because the drain doesn’t connect to a wall vent in the standard way. We install either an island loop vent or a code-compliant air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Water supply is straightforward—running hot and cold lines to the island—but the drain and vent routing through and under the floor requires precise planning. We handle island drain setups frequently. Call us to talk through your island’s plumbing before finalizing your design.

Scheduling Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement before demo: Moving sinks is costly and involves plumbing reroutes—finalize location before ordering cabinets.
- Gas line work before cabinets go in: Gas rough-in must be completed before cabinetry is set.
- Install pot fillers prior to backsplash: Wall access is easier before tile installation.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Older gate valves can fail; ball valves last longer.
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: Easier to install before counters are in place.
Kitchen Plumbing FAQs
Yes, it’s doable but requires planning because island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) since there’s no traditional wall vent. We run supply lines to the island easily but the drain and vent routing below needs precise work. We handle these installs often—call 779-217-8807 to review your island design before you decide.
Replacing fixtures in the same spot usually doesn’t require permits. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing plumbing layout, permits are necessary. We take care of pulling permits and arranging inspections as part of the job.
Absolutely. The best time to run new gas lines is during a remodel with walls open. We handle full gas line installs for ranges, cooktops, and ovens—sized properly, pressure tested, and permitted. Make sure you schedule this before cabinets go in.
Yes, we often subcontract plumbing for kitchen remodels. We work on your GC’s schedule, syncing our rough-in and finish work with their timeline, and manage permit coordination. Call 779-217-8807 early to get us on your project team.
