Complete Kitchen Plumbing Solutions in Arlington Heights, IL
Kitchen plumbing for remodeling projects can be straightforward or complex. It might be a quick faucet swap and garbage disposal connection or a substantial job like relocating sinks to an island, installing a gas line for a new range, adding a prep sink, or fitting a pot filler. How big the job is affects the cost, timing, and permit requirements. No matter what you need, our team gets it done right.
Here’s a tip: call us early at 224-347-7053. If you plan to move your sink, the drain and vent pipes should be adjusted before your floor and walls are covered up. Gas line installs for island cooktops or new ranges must happen before cabinets go in. Pot fillers require wall access behind the stove, so it’s easiest before backsplashes are tiled. Scheduling your plumber ahead saves headaches down the line.
We also handle smaller kitchen plumbing jobs outside of remodels — faucet repairs or replacements, disposal servicing, dishwasher hook ups, and fridge water line installations. Remodeling is a good time to check if your water heater can keep up with new appliances and to clear any sluggish drains before closing things up. Call 224-347-7053 for whatever kitchen plumbing work you need.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all kinds of kitchen sinks—undermount (coordinated with your countertop fabricator), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. The job includes fitting the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and water supply lines. We use braided stainless steel lines for supply connections to avoid the cracking issues common with older plastic lines. We can also install or replace garbage disposals as part of this service.
Faucet installs cover any style or mounting type (one-hole, three-hole, deck plate). We pressure test every fixture before finishing. Moving your sink to a new spot? That means rerouting drains, vents, and water lines—our team handles all the permit paperwork and inspection scheduling for that too.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher hookups involve connecting the hot water supply and routing the drain hose with an air gap or a high loop to prevent backflow. We also check electrical setups and coordinate with electricians as needed. For refrigerators with ice makers and water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line from your nearest supply, using copper or braided stainless steel with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units, including dedicated faucets with proper supply and waste connections. Call 224-347-7053 for reliable appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking about switching to a gas range or adding a cooktop on an island? We install gas lines sized for your appliance’s BTU needs, running pipe from your gas meter or existing line, installing shutoff valves, making all connections with flexible code-approved tubing, pressure testing, and handling permits and inspections. See our gas line services page for the full process.
Important: gas line rough-in must happen before cabinets are installed. Trying to run gas lines after cabinetry is in place means cutting and patching, which adds cost and time. Coordinate this early with your contractor.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove makes filling large pots easy without lugging them across the kitchen. It requires running a cold water line inside the wall around 56 to 60 inches from the floor and about 4 inches off center from the range. It’s simplest to install during a remodel when walls are open but we also do installations in finished kitchens with careful wall patching and finishing. Call 224-347-7053 to discuss the best option for your setup.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Adding a sink to a kitchen island is tricky because the standard vent stack behind a wall isn’t accessible. Island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local code. Running supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent under the floor and back up inside the island cabinet takes careful planning. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs in Arlington Heights homes — call us to plan yours right.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demo: Sink moves are costly and require early decisions before the cabinets are ordered.
- Install gas lines before cabinets: Gas piping to islands or new stove locations has to be roughed in ahead of cabinetry.
- Pot filler setup before backsplash: Wall openings for pot fillers are much easier before tile installation.
- Replace old shutoff valves when accessible: Upgrade worn gate valves to ball valves during plumbing work to avoid failures later.
- Run fridge water line early: Installing ice maker water lines is simpler before countertops are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the more involved plumbing tasks. Island sinks require special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve since there’s no wall vent.

We’ve installed many island sinks in the Arlington Heights area—give us a call at 224-347-7053 so we can help make sure your layout works.
Minor work like swapping faucets or disposals usually doesn’t require permits. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new water lines, installing gas lines, or changing the plumbing layout, permits and inspections are required by local code. We take care of the entire permitting process so you don’t have to worry.
