Kitchen Plumbing Remodeling Services in Burbank, IL
Our kitchen plumbing services range from straightforward fixture swaps—like replacing a faucet or connecting a new garbage disposal—to full-scale projects involving moving sinks, installing gas lines for ranges, adding prep sinks, or installing pot fillers. The size of the job influences cost, timing, and whether permits are necessary. No matter the job, we’re equipped to handle it.
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, call us at 708-847-4987. Pro tip: get the plumber involved before cabinetry goes in. Moving a sink means drain rerouting while the subfloor is accessible. Running a new gas line for a range or island cooktop needs to happen early, before cabinets are installed. Installing a pot filler requires opening the wall behind the range, which is easier before backsplash tile is up. Scheduling plumbing work ahead helps avoid delays in your remodel timeline.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing jobs outside remodels, like faucet replacements, disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs. Remodeling is a good time to check your water heater’s capacity and fix any slow drains with our drain cleaning services. Reach out anytime at 708-847-4987.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle all sink styles: undermount (coordinating cutouts with countertops), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting braided stainless supply lines—far more durable than older plastic tubing. We also install and hook up garbage disposals when needed.
For faucets, we manage all mounting types—single hole, three-hole, deck plate—and test connections thoroughly under pressure. Moving a sink’s location involves drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and extending supply lines; we handle permitting and inspections for that work, too.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installations include hot water supply connections, proper drain hose routing with high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and coordination with electricians for power hookups. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines—copper or braided stainless—with accessible shutoffs behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation and supply and waste connections. Call us at 708-847-4987 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas for your range or adding a gas cooktop to an island? We install gas pipes sized to your appliance’s BTU rating, run them from the nearest gas main, fit shutoff valves, attach the flexible gas connectors, pressure test everything, and manage permits and inspections. See our gas line services page for more details.
Important: Install gas lines before cabinetry is in place. After cabinets, routing new gas lines gets much trickier and can mean opening walls or floors. Plan ahead with your GC and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove lets you fill pots right at the burner, avoiding heavy trips across the kitchen. It requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor, roughly 4 inches to one side of the stove center. This is straightforward during remodeling when walls are open, but we can also retrofit pot fillers in finished walls with some patching and painting.
Give us a call at 708-847-4987 to review your setup.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink presents unique challenges since the drain can’t tie into a wall vent like normal. The solution is an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Supply lines are simpler—run hot and cold from nearby mains—but drain and vent must be routed carefully under the floor and back up through the island base. We’ve done many island sink installs and can walk you through the options before you lock in your kitchen design.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Confirm sink placement before demolition: Sink relocation drives costs, so finalize location early.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinetry: Running gas to new stove or island must happen before cabinet install.
- Install pot filler before backsplash tile: Opening the wall is much simpler before tiling.
- Replace old shutoff valves while accessible: Old gate valves often leak; upgrade to ball valves when plumbing is exposed.
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to route ice maker supply before counters are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, you can move a sink to an island, but it’s more complicated than a typical sink install because the drain venting must follow special requirements—usually an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV). The water supply lines are straightforward to run, but the drain and vent need careful routing through the floor. We’ve done plenty of these and can help you plan before finalizing your kitchen layout. Call us at 708-847-4987.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot—like swapping out a faucet or garbage disposal—permits usually aren’t required. However, any work involving moving drains, rough-in water supply, gas line installations, or layout changes requires permits. We handle the permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Definitely. Installing a gas line is best done during a remodel when walls are open. Our licensed plumbers install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens—sized correctly, pressure tested, and permitted. Be sure to schedule the gas line installation before cabinets go in.
