Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in Skokie, IL
Whether it’s a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing rough-in involving moving sinks, installing new gas lines, or adding pot fillers, our team has you covered. The size of the job affects cost, schedule, and permitting requirements. We know how to navigate all of it.
My recommendation: Connect with our plumbers before your cabinets arrive. If you’re shifting the sink location, drain and vent lines have to be adjusted while floors are exposed. Gas line installations for stoves or island cooktops belong upfront before cabinetry goes in. Pot fillers call for opening walls behind the range — simpler if done early on. Planning plumbing early avoids costly delays during Illinois’s unpredictable seasons.
Beyond remodels, we also handle faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or connecting refrigerator water lines at any time. Remodeling is a smart opportunity to evaluate your water heater capacity and address slow drains before sealing everything up. Give us a call at 224-524-1272 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Setup
We handle all sink types — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, one or two bowls, even prep sinks. Our installation includes fitting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting braided stainless supply lines for durability. We also attach garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we cover all mounting styles (single hole, three-hole with a deck plate) and pressure-test every connection. Moving a sink to a new position adds drain rerouting, vent modifications, and supply line extensions—we handle permits and inspections for these projects.
Appliance Plumbing Connections
We connect dishwashers by hooking up hot water supplies and routing drain hoses with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, we’ll put in the dedicated faucet, connect supply and waste lines, and offer guidance on filter maintenance. Call us at 224-524-1272 for any kitchen appliance plumbing job.
Gas Piping for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to a gas range or adding a cooktop to an island? We size and install the gas line from your meter or main supply, add shutoff valves, connect appliances with code-approved flexible connectors, pressure test the system, and manage permits and inspections. Visit our gas line page for full details.
Keep in mind: gas line installs must be done before cabinets go in. It’s tough and disruptive to add later. Coordinate with your general contractor early—we’ll work with them to fit plumbing into your project timeline.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted near your stove makes filling large pots easier. This requires a cold water line inside the wall roughly 56 to 60 inches above the floor and offset from the cooktop center. It’s straightforward during remodeling but can be added later with some wall patching. Call 224-524-1272 to explore options for your kitchen.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Installing a sink on an island involves extra plumbing complexity because the drain can’t connect to a wall vent normally. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves depending on local code. Water supply is easier, but routing drains through floors and back up into cabinetry demands skill and planning. We’ve done many island sink installations—talk to us before finalizing your kitchen design.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Set sink location early: Moving sinks is costly—confirm before you order cabinets
- Get gas lines done early: Install gas piping before cabinets go in, especially for islands or new stove spots
- Pot filler before backsplash: It’s much easier to open walls before tile or backsplash is in place
- Upgrade shutoffs while exposed: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during remodel to avoid failures later
- Run fridge water lines ahead: Installing ice maker lines is simpler before countertops are installed
Frequently Asked Questions about Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it’s more complex than a typical sink move because island drains need special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Supply lines are simpler to run. We’ve handled plenty of island sink installs, so call us at 224-524-1272 to plan this before finalizing your kitchen layout.
Simple fixture replacements like faucets or disposals usually don’t require permits. But if you’re rerouting drain lines, running new supply pipes, adding gas lines, or changing the layout, permits are necessary. We take care of obtaining permits and scheduling inspections for all permitted work.
Definitely. It’s best done while walls are open during a remodel. We install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens—we size the pipe correctly, pressure test everything, and pull all permits. Make sure to schedule this before cabinets go in.
