Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing Services in Zion, IL
From quick faucet swaps or disposal hookups to complex plumbing rough-ins that move sinks, run new gas lines, or add pot fillers, our team handles all kitchen plumbing projects. The scale of the work influences the timeline, price, and whether permits are necessary. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered.
When planning your remodel, call us early at 224-524-8023. I recommend scheduling plumbing before cabinets arrive. Moving a sink means redoing the drain and venting while floors are exposed. New gas lines for ranges or island cooktops need to be roughed in ahead of cabinetry. Pot filler faucets require wall access behind the stove before backsplash tile goes up. Booking us early helps avoid costly rework and delays.
We also offer kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside remodeling—like faucet replacements, garbage disposal servicing, dishwasher installation, and refrigerator water line setups. Remodeling is a great chance to check your water heater’s capacity and clear any slow drains before sealing cabinetry back in. Reach out at 224-524-8023 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installation
We work with all types of kitchen sinks: undermount (coordinating with countertop fabricators), drop-in, farmhouse-style, single or double basin, and prep sinks. Installation includes assembling drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting braided stainless steel supply lines for durability and reliability—not the brittle plastic tubing. Garbage disposals are also installed during this service if needed.
For faucets, we install every style you can imagine, handling single-hole, three-hole, or deck plate setups, making sure the connections are secure and pressure-tested. Moving a sink location is a larger job involving drain line rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply extensions—all done with the proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installs include connecting hot water lines, setting up drain hoses with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and confirming electrical supply compatibility (which we coordinate with electricians). We also run dedicated water lines to ice makers in refrigerators using copper or stainless steel tubing, complete with accessible shut-off valves behind the unit.
Additionally, we install instant hot water dispensers and under-sink filtration systems like reverse osmosis units. For RO setups, we drill and mount dedicated faucets, connect supply and drain lines, and advise on ongoing filter maintenance. Call 224-524-8023 for professional appliance plumbing connections.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Whether converting from electric to gas or adding gas cooktops in your island, we handle the full gas line installation. That means sizing the pipe for the appliance’s BTU requirements, routing from your main gas supply, installing shut-off valves, connecting flexible code-approved connectors, pressure testing, and managing permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for more details.
Pro tip: gas line rough-ins need to happen before cabinetry goes in. Trying to snake lines through finished cabinets is a headache and can cause damage. Coordinate with your general contractor and us early to keep your project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall near your stove, letting you fill large pots without lugging them from the sink. Installing one requires a cold water supply line inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and roughly 4 inches off the cooktop center. This is straightforward during a remodel with open walls but requires cutting into finished walls, patching, and repainting if retrofitting. Give us a call to discuss your kitchen layout and pot filler options.
Island Sink & Drain Venting Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is trickier because you can’t vent the drain like a typical wall fixture. We install an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) per local codes, ensuring proper drainage and venting. Supply lines are run from the closest water main to the island. Drain and vent piping require precise routing beneath the subfloor and back up into the island cabinet. We’ve done plenty of island sinks and can help you plan the plumbing before finalizing the island design.

- Confirm sink location before demolition: Sink moves are the costliest plumbing changes — lock in placement before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinetry: Gas lines to new stove or island must be run prior to cabinet installation
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Opening walls is much easier before tile or backsplash is installed
- Upgrade shutoff valves when exposed: Replace old gate valves with durable ball valves while plumbing is accessible
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines prior to countertop installation
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
We absolutely can. Moving a kitchen sink to an island is one of the more involved plumbing jobs because the drain venting has to be specially handled—either with an island loop vent or an air admittance valve per code. Running the hot and cold water lines is straightforward, but the drain pipe routing through the floor takes careful planning. We’ve done many island sinks. Give us a call at 224-524-8023 before you finalize your layout, and we’ll guide you through it.
For replacing fixtures like faucets, garbage disposals, or dishwasher hookups in the same locations, permits usually aren’t required. If your project includes rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, gas line installation, or changing the plumbing layout, a permit is needed. We handle pulling permits and scheduling inspections to keep everything compliant and above board.
Yes, and it’s best to do this while walls are open during a remodel. We install properly sized gas lines, test for leaks, and handle the required permits and inspections for ranges, cooktops, and ovens. Scheduling this rough-in before cabinets go in is essential to avoid costly rework. Check out our gas line services for details.
