Complete Kitchen Plumbing in Ingleside, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet or doing a major kitchen overhaul that includes moving sinks, adding gas lines for your new stove, or installing a pot filler, we’ve got you covered. The total cost and timeline depends on what plumbing changes are involved and if permits are required. No job is too small or complicated for our licensed team.
Here’s a tip from me: bring in your plumber early—before cabinets are installed. For example, if you plan to move the sink, the drain and supply lines need to be routed while the floor is open. Gas lines for a cooktop should be roughed in before cabinetry goes up. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall behind the stove — it’s much less hassle before tile or backsplash is in place. Scheduling us early keeps your project on track and avoids costly delays.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing repairs and installs outside of remodels — faucet replacements, garbage disposal servicing, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installation. If your water heater is aging or you notice slow drains under the kitchen sink, a remodel is a great time to get those sorted too. Give us a call at 708-726-0760 and we’ll help you plan the work.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installations
We install all sink types – undermount (coordinating with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, even prep sinks. That includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and tight supply connections. We use braided stainless steel lines for hot and cold water — these last longer than old plastic tubing. Need a garbage disposal hooked up with the sink? We handle that too, all in one visit when possible.
Faucet installation includes any mounting style – single hole, three-hole, or with a deck plate. We pressure-test all connections before finishing. Moving a sink to a different spot means rerouting drain pipes, adjusting venting, and extending supply lines. We manage those bigger jobs along with the permits and inspections they need.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
We connect dishwashers by tying in hot water supplies, routing drain hoses with proper high loops or air gaps to avoid backflow, and check with your electrician to ensure power is safe and sufficient. Fridge ice makers and water dispensers get a dedicated cold water line installed, either copper or braided steel, with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
Other services include installing instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we drill and mount a dedicated faucet, hook up supply and drain lines, and can advise on filter changes. Call us at 708-726-0760 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch from electric to gas, or adding a gas cooktop in an island? We handle the entire gas line installation – correctly sizing pipe for your appliance’s BTU rating, running lines from the gas meter or supply, installing shutoff valves, using code-approved flexible connectors, pressure testing, and managing permits and inspections. See our gas line services page for more details.
Important: gas routing should be done before cabinet installation. Pushing this step after cabinets are in place can cause expensive and disruptive work. Coordinate early with your contractor and us to keep things smooth.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are mounted on the wall above the stove, allowing you to fill pots without carrying heavy water. Installation involves running a cold water line behind the wall, about two feet above the cooking surface and slightly offset to the side. It’s straightforward during a remodel when walls are open, but we can install pot fillers in finished kitchens too, with some careful wall repair afterward. Reach out at 708-726-0760 to discuss your needs.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Plumbing an island sink is a bit trickier since there’s no wall vent nearby. The drain needs an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Hot and cold water lines are run through the floor from the nearest supply. The vent and drain routing requires thoughtful planning to meet code and function properly. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks in the Chicagoland area and can advise on the best approach for your kitchen.

Best Timing for Kitchen Plumbing Work
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving a sink is one of the bigger plumbing changes and should be locked in before ordering cabinets
- Gas line work before cabinet installation: Running gas pipes to new locations has to be done with open access
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Opening walls after tile is installed is a bigger job
- Upgrade shutoff valves when pipes are exposed: Ball valves are more reliable and last longer than old gate valves
- Run fridge water lines early: Easier to install before countertops are set in place
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the more complex plumbing upgrades. Island sinks need special venting like an island loop or an air admittance valve because there’s no nearby wall vent. Running supply lines is straightforward, but drains require careful planning and installation. We’ve done many island sink projects and can help you figure out the best setup. Give us a call at 708-726-0760 before you finalize your island design.
If you’re just replacing existing fixtures in the same location—like swapping a faucet or garbage disposal—often no permit is needed. But for any drain line changes, new supply pipes, gas line work, or relocating fixtures, permits are required. We handle all the paperwork and inspections, so you don’t have to worry.
Yes, and it’s best done while walls are open. We install properly sized gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, pressure test them, and ensure all required permits are pulled. Scheduling this rough-in early in the remodel saves you hassle later.
