Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services in Joliet, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet replacement, garbage disposal installation, or a full kitchen plumbing upgrade with sink relocation, gas line installation, and pot filler rough-in, we've got you covered. Jobs range from simple connect-and-go tasks to multi-day projects requiring permits and inspections. No matter the size, we approach each with the same attention and skill.
Here’s a tip from our experience: get your plumber involved early in the remodel process—ideally before cabinets go in. Moving the sink means rerouting drain and water lines, which is much easier when the subfloor is open. Running a gas line to the island or new stove needs doing before cabinetry is set. Installing a pot filler requires opening the wall behind the stove, which is less work before tile and backsplash go up. Early scheduling of plumbing helps keep your remodel on track—especially with Illinois weather changing fast.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing calls: faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs—even outside of remodels. Plus, we can evaluate whether your water heater's capacity fits new appliance demands, or clear out slow drains before you close up cabinets. Give us a call at 779-217-8317 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We fit all sink styles—undermount sinks (which require careful countertop cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our work includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, installing P-traps, and securely connecting supply lines with braided stainless steel for durability. We also install garbage disposals during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle every configuration — single-hole, three-hole setups with deck plates, or more complex designs. We pressure test all connections to prevent leaks. If the project calls for relocating your sink, that involves drain and vent rerouting plus extending supply lines, and we cover that with necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Installing a dishwasher means connecting the hot water supply and routing the drain hose properly with a high loop or air gap to avoid backflow. While electricians handle power, we coordinate to ensure all connections meet your unit’s requirements. For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water supply lines, using copper or braided stainless steel, with accessible shutoff valves behind the fridge.
We also set up instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units—installing dedicated faucets and managing supply and drain connections while advising on filter maintenance. Call us at 779-217-8317 for any appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas appliances or adding a cooktop? We handle gas line installations end-to-end: pipe sizing for the BTU load, routing from your gas meter or existing line, fitting shutoff valves, connecting appliances with approved flexible connectors, pressure testing, and managing permits and inspections. Check our gas line services page for details.
Important note: gas line rough-ins for islands or new appliance locations must happen before cabinets go in. Trying to snake a gas pipe through finished cabinets is tough and costly—coordinate this early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers let you fill pots right at the stove, saving you from lugging heavy water containers around. We run a cold water supply line inside the wall behind your stove, about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and roughly 4 inches offset from the stove’s center. This is easiest with open walls during remodels but we can install in existing kitchens with minimal patchwork. Contact us at 779-217-8317 to explore your options.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Island sinks are trickier because their drains can’t connect to wall vents the usual way. They require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to keep drainage smooth and odors out. While running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, planning the drain and vent routing through the floor and back up requires precision. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks in Joliet homes to get it right. Call us early to plan yours.

When to Schedule Your Kitchen Plumbing
- Decide on sink placement before demolition: Moving the sink is the biggest plumbing job—make sure it's set before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line work before cabinets: Gas piping must be roughed in early to avoid costly after-the-fact work.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash tiles: It's far easier to open walls before tiling.
- Replace old shutoff valves while exposed: Many older gate valves can fail; swapping for ball valves now prevents leaks later.
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: Easier access before counters go in means smoother installs.
Common Kitchen Remodel Plumbing Questions
Yes, we do that all the time. Moving a sink to an island is challenging because you can’t vent the drain like a typical wall vent. We install either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve to keep things flowing properly. Supply lines are straightforward, but the drain and vent routing through the floor takes planning. Reach out at 779-217-8317 so we can help plan your island plumbing before you finalize your design.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same spot, like replacing a faucet or garbage disposal, usually no permit is required. But whenever drain lines are rerouted, new supply lines are added, or gas lines installed, permits and inspections are mandatory. We take care of the permit paperwork and inspections for all projects that require them.
Definitely. Remodels are the best time to run gas lines because walls are open and access is easy. We handle everything from sizing the pipe, routing it safely, installing shutoff valves, pressure testing, getting permits, and scheduling inspections. Make sure to schedule the gas line rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid extra costs.
Yes! We collaborate closely with kitchen contractors, designers, and general contractors to align our plumbing work with your project timeline. From rough-in to finish plumbing, we coordinate permits and inspections to keep your remodel moving smoothly. Call 779-217-8317 to get us involved early.
