Complete Kitchen Plumbing Remodeling in Channahon, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet and hooking up a new disposal or undertaking a bigger project like moving your sink to an island, adding a gas line for a new stove, or installing a prep sink in a pantry, we’ve got the skills to do it right. Depending on how much rerouting is needed and permit requirements, the timeline and cost will vary — but we manage every step professionally.
Here’s a tip from my experience: bring in the plumber before your cabinets are installed. For example, relocating your sink involves drain and vent work that’s much easier with the subfloor exposed. Installing a gas line for a range or island cooktop should happen ahead of cabinetry. Pot fillers require opening up the wall behind the stove — easier before backsplash tile is on. Scheduling plumbing early helps keep your remodel on track and avoids costly delays.
Apart from remodels, we also handle standalone kitchen plumbing tasks — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water lines, and more. This is also a good chance to check your water heater capacity or clear slow kitchen drains before redoing cabinets. Call us anytime at 815-357-4157.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Setup
We work on all sink styles: undermount (careful coordination with countertop cuts is essential), drop-in, farmhouse/front apron, single and double bowls, plus prep sinks. Installation includes drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and supply connections using braided stainless steel lines—not old-school plastic that cracks. When needed, we install garbage disposals during the same visit.
Faucet installs cover all mounting options—1-hole, 3-hole, or deck plate—and we pressure-test thoroughly. Moving the sink location involves drain rerouting, vent changes, and extending supply lines, with all permits and inspections handled by our team.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Dishwasher hookups involve connecting the hot water supply and installing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We also check electrical connections so everything works safely (electrician coordination needed). For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves placed conveniently behind the unit.
We install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration and reverse osmosis systems, including the necessary faucet installs and waste connections. Maintenance advice included. Reach out at 815-357-4157 for any appliance plumbing help.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Equipment
Planning to swap an electric stove for gas or add a cooktop to your island? We size and install gas lines per BTU requirements, running from the closest gas supply, installing shutoff valves, connecting appliances with code-approved flex connectors, and pressure-testing. We handle all permits and inspections to keep things safe and legal.
Important: gas line rough-in has to be done before cabinets go in. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry is a mess and much more expensive. Coordinate this early with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above the range lets you fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. We run a cold water line inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches from the floor, just off center to the stove. It’s straightforward during remodels with open walls. In finished kitchens, we'll carefully open and repair the wall for installation. Call us at 815-357-4157 to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is complex because its drain can’t tie into a wall vent stack normally. Code-compliant options include an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local rules. Supply lines are simple, but the drain and vent routing beneath the floor and back up through the island cabinet requires expert planning. We do this work regularly—talk to us early about your island layout to save headaches down the line.

- Gas line rough-in before cabinets: Install gas lines for new appliance locations ahead of cabinetry

- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with modern ball valves while plumbing is exposed
- Run refrigerator water line prior to countertops: Easier installation before counters are set
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it’s a bit more involved. Island sinks require special venting — either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, depending on local code. Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drain needs to be routed through the floor carefully. We do this work often, so give us a call at 815-357-4157 to go over your island plumbing plans before you lock down your layout.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot—like replacing a faucet, disposal, or hooking up a dishwasher normally—you likely don’t need a permit. But any drain rerouting, new supply pipe rough-in, gas line work, or moving plumbing fixtures to new locations will require permits. Our team handles getting permits and coordinating inspections as part of the job.
Yes, and it’s best to get this done while walls are open during remodeling. We install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, sizing and pressure-testing everything, and securing permits as required. Schedule this project before cabinetry is installed for the smoothest process.
