Plumbing for Kitchen Remodels in Robbins, IL
Whether you’re just updating fixtures like faucets and disposals or undertaking a full kitchen plumbing overhaul—relocating sinks, adding gas lines, or installing a pot filler—we cover the entire spectrum. The size of your job affects cost, timeline, and permits, but no matter the project, our team takes care of it.
Here’s what I recommend when you call us at 708-726-9658: bring a plumber on board before the cabinets are in place. For example, if you’re moving the sink, the drain rerouting is much easier when the floor is open. Adding a gas line for a new stove or island cooktop has to be done before cabinets go in. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall behind the stove—better done before backsplash tile. Early scheduling with us will help your project stay on track.
We also handle stand-alone kitchen plumbing calls—whether you need a faucet swap, disposal repair or replacement, dishwasher hook-up, or refrigerator water line installation—even if you’re not remodeling. Remodeling’s a good time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear any slow drains before new cabinets go in. Call 708-726-9658 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Setup
We handle all sink styles: undermount (matching your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, one or two bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes setting the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and water supply lines. We always use braided stainless steel supply lines—not those brittle plastic ones that crack. We also install and connect garbage disposals during the same visit if you need one.
For faucets, we fit all types, taking care with the mounting setup—whether 1-hole, 3-hole, or with a deck plate—and pressure-test everything before finishing. Moving your sink to a new spot involves rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines, which we manage with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect your dishwasher’s hot water supply and install the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We’ll check that your electrical supply is ready—though electricians handle that part, we coordinate closely. For fridges with ice makers or water dispensers, we install a dedicated cold water line using copper or stainless braided tubing, mounted securely with an accessible shut-off valve.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we drill a faucet hole, connect supply and drain lines, and guide you on filter maintenance. Call 708-726-9658 for any kitchen appliance plumbing help.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Equipment
Switching to gas ranges or adding a gas cooktop? We size and run the gas line from your meter or main supply, install shut-off valves, connect with flexible, code-approved fittings, pressure-test, and handle the necessary permits and inspections. For full details, check our gas line services page.
Keep in mind: if you’re adding a gas line to an island or new location, this must be done before cabinets are installed—cutting in gas lines afterward is a lot more work and disruption. Coordinate this early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are wall-mounted faucets above the stove, perfect for filling pots without hauling water across the kitchen. We run a cold water supply line inside the wall around 56–60 inches from the floor and about 4 inches off the stove center. It’s easiest to install during a remodel with walls open, but we can also add one to finished kitchens with some wall patching and repainting. Call 708-726-9658 to discuss your setup.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks come with unique plumbing challenges since you can’t vent the drain like you do through a wall stack. They require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water supply to the island is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent lines through the floor and back up into the island cabinetry needs expert planning. We have plenty of experience with island sinks—call us to figure out your best layout before finalizing plans.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but moving a sink to an island is one of the trickier plumbing jobs. Island sinks need special venting—usually an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV)—to keep drains working properly. Water supply is simple, but you need careful drain and vent routing through the floor. We've done plenty of island sink installs. Call 708-726-9658 to talk through your layout before you finalize it.
For replacing fixtures in the same spot, like swapping a faucet or garbage disposal, you usually don’t need a permit. But if you’re rerouting drains, running new supply lines, working with gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout, permits are necessary. We take care of pulling permits and managing inspections as part of the job.
Yes, and it’s best to do it while walls are open during a remodel. We install gas lines for stoves, cooktops, and ovens—sized properly, tested for leaks, and permitted. Be sure to schedule your gas rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid extra work later.
Definitely. We often work as the plumbing subcontractor on kitchen remodels. We sync our schedule with your general contractor’s timeline and handle all permit coordination. Call 708-726-9658 early so we can get your plumbing on the calendar.
