Kitchen Plumbing Upgrades in Olympia Fields, IL
Whether you’re just updating your faucet and garbage disposal or planning a full kitchen overhaul with sink relocation, new gas lines, and extras like a pot filler, we’ve got the skills and knowledge to get the job done right. The complexity of your project affects the timeline, costs, and permits needed, and we’ll guide you through every step.
Give us a call at 708-726-8971 early in your remodeling process. Plumbing work is best tackled before cabinets are installed — especially if you’re moving the sink, since drain rerouting is much easier when floors and walls are accessible. For gas lines or pot fillers, rough-in plumbing should be completed before finishing touches like backsplashes or countertops. Early coordination saves headaches and delays.
We can also handle stand-alone kitchen plumbing jobs like faucet swaps, disposal repairs, or refrigerator water line installations outside of remodels. Plus, a kitchen remodel is a good chance to check your water heater’s capacity and clear any slow drains before sealing things up. Reach out at 708-726-8971 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installation
We fit all types of kitchen sinks — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double basin, and prep sinks. Our installation covers drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and secure connections to hot and cold water lines using durable braided stainless steel hoses, steering clear of older plastic lines that tend to crack. Garbage disposals get installed and connected during the same visit when needed.
For faucet setups, we handle all mounting styles (single hole, three-hole, or deck-plate mounts), install them properly, and thoroughly test for leaks. Moving your sink to a new spot is a bigger project that includes rerouting drains, adjusting vent pipes, and extending supply lines—we’re fully licensed and permit-ready to tackle that work.
Dishwasher & Appliance Water Connections
Hooking up a dishwasher means connecting the hot water supply, routing its drain line with the proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking the electrical hookup, which we coordinate with electricians. For fridges with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line from the nearest supply, using copper or braided stainless piping, properly supported and with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis setups, including faucet installation and filter maintenance guidance. Give us a call at 708-726-8971 for any appliance connections you need.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Equipment
If you’re switching to a gas stove or adding a cooktop on an island, we handle gas piping from start to finish. We size the pipe based on your appliance’s BTU rating, run it from your gas meter or existing supply line, install the shutoff valve, connect the appliance with flexible, code-approved fittings, pressure test the system, and manage permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for more details on our safety and installation process.
Remember, any gas line rough-in work must happen before cabinetry goes in, especially if the new line runs to an island or relocated appliance. It’s a lot harder to retrofit gas pipes once cabinets and walls are finished, so plan ahead with us and your general contractor.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above your stove to make filling pots with water much easier. We run a cold water line in the wall, usually about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and slightly offset from the cooktop center. It’s a straightforward installation during remodels when walls are open, but we can also retrofit existing kitchens with minimal disruption. Call us at 708-726-8971 to explore your options.
Drain and Venting for Island Sinks
Plumbing an island sink requires extra planning since drains can’t tie into traditional wall vents. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) as allowed by local codes. Running hot and cold water supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing the drain and install vent pipes through the floor and subfloor is a bit more complex. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks and can help you design a system that works before you finalize your kitchen layout.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Sink moves are costly; lock down placement before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line rough-in early: New gas piping must be in place before cabinets are installed.
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Wall access is much easier without tile in place.
- Replace old shutoffs during remodel: Swap out failing gate valves for ball valves while plumbing is exposed.
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install while counters aren’t yet set.
Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing?
Yes, though moving a sink to an island requires specialized venting like an island loop vent or air admittance valve, since you can’t use a standard wall vent. The water supply lines are usually straightforward to extend, but the drain and vent need careful routing through the floor. We’ve handled many island sink installations—call us at 708-726-8971 to plan yours right.
For minor work like replacing faucets or hooking up a dishwasher in the same spot, permits typically aren’t required. But if you reroute drains, add new water supply lines, install gas piping, or change the kitchen layout, you’ll need permits. We’ll take care of the paperwork and coordinate inspections to keep your project compliant.
Definitely. Installing gas piping during a remodel is best since walls are open. We size, run, and connect the gas line safely with proper permits. Scheduling this before cabinets go in will save you hassle later. Check out our gas line services page for details.
