Kitchen Plumbing Services in Grayslake, IL
Kitchen remodel plumbing can be as simple as switching out a faucet or hooking up a disposal, or as involved as relocating the sink, installing new gas lines for a cooktop, adding a prep sink, or roughing in a pot filler faucet. The project’s extent impacts price, timing, and whether we need permits. Regardless of size, our team has it covered.
Give us a ring at 224-814-5106 early in your project. Ideally, get plumbing sorted before cabinets are installed—especially if moving the sink since drain routing is easier with open access beneath the floor. Gas lines for new islands or ranges should be roughed in ahead of cabinetry, and pot filler faucet installs are simpler before backsplash tile goes up. Planning plumbing early helps avoid delays and surprises.
We also handle standalone kitchen plumbing jobs like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and fridge water lines—even if you’re not remodeling. Plus, remodeling is a great time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear out any slow kitchen drains. Call 224-814-5106 for expert service whenever you need it.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Installing Kitchen Sinks & Faucets
We fit every style of kitchen sink—undermount (which requires coordinating with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our sink installation includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting the hot and cold water supply using durable braided stainless steel lines—not brittle plastic. If you need a garbage disposal installed alongside, we handle that too.
For faucets, we install all mounts—single-hole, three-hole, deck-mounted—ensuring everything is properly sealed and pressure-tested. If you’re changing your sink location, that’s a bigger job involving drain rerouting and venting changes, which we perform with all the necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Hooking up a dishwasher means connecting the hot water supply and installing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow contamination. We make sure the electrical setup is ready too, coordinating with your electrician as needed. For refrigerators, we run a dedicated cold water supply line to support ice makers and water dispensers, using copper or stainless braided piping with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we drill and install a dedicated faucet on your sink, connect supply and drainage, and advise on cartridge changes. Call 224-814-5106 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Cooking Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop requires careful gas line installation. We size the piping to match your appliance’s BTU rating, run the line from your gas meter or existing supply, install the shutoff valve, connect with flexible, code-compliant connectors, and perform pressure tests. We obtain permits and schedule inspections to keep everything safe and legal. Visit our gas line services page for full details.
Note: for new gas lines running to an island or relocated cooking appliance, that work needs done before cabinets are installed. Once cabinetry is in place, rerouting gas lines becomes a major headache. Plan this early with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above the stove to fill pots without hauling them from the sink. We install a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above floor level, roughly four inches off center from the range. The best time for this is during remodeling with open walls. If your kitchen is finished, we can still install it but expect some wall patching and finishing work. Call 224-814-5106 to discuss your setup.
Island Sink Installation & Drain/Vent Solutions
Island sinks come with a plumbing challenge since there’s no nearby wall vent. We use either island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs), depending on local code, to ensure proper drainage. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drain and vent plumbing through the floor and back up into the island cabinet needs careful design and execution. We’ve done these setups many times—reach out to plan your island plumbing before finalizing your kitchen layout.

Recommended Kitchen Plumbing Scheduling

- Complete gas line work before cabinetry: Gas rough-ins must be finished prior to cabinet installation

- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install before countertop placement
Kitchen Remodel FAQs
Yes, but it’s one of the trickier plumbing changes since island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Water supply lines are simple enough, but the drain and vent piping need careful routing beneath the floor. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks—give us a call at 224-814-5106 to plan your island plumbing before you finalize your kitchen design.
For in-place fixture swaps such as faucets, disposals, or dishwasher hookups, usually no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the plumbing layout, permits are required. We take care of all the paperwork and inspection scheduling as part of our service.
Definitely. Gas line installations are best coordinated during remodels when walls are open. We handle sizing, installation, pressure testing, and permitting for gas lines to ranges, ovens, and cooktops. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets go in.
