Plumbing for Kitchen Remodels in Yorkville, IL
Updating your kitchen plumbing can be a quick job, like swapping out faucets, installing disposals, or hooking up a dishwasher. Or, it can be more involved: relocating your sink to an island, running new gas lines for your stove, adding a prep sink, or roughing in a pot filler faucet. The size of the job determines cost, time, and whether permits are necessary. We’ve seen it all and can guide you through every step.
Here's my advice: bring us in before your cabinets arrive. If the sink’s moving, you want drain rerouting done with the subfloor open. Adding a gas line for a new cooktop or island must be roughed in before cabinetry. Pot fillers require wall access behind the range—much simpler before backsplash tile. Scheduling plumbers early keeps your remodel on track and avoids costly rework.
We also help homeowners outside of remodels: replacing faucets, servicing disposals, hooking up dishwashers or fridge water lines. Remodeling is also a great time to check if your water heater can keep up or to fix slow drains before cabinets conceal the pipes. Give us a call at 331-207-1770 whenever you need kitchen plumbing expertise.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We fit all sink styles—including undermount (we coordinate with your countertop fabricator), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and supply line connections. We use durable braided stainless steel lines—not fragile ribbed plastic ones that crack. When desired, we install or replace garbage disposals during the same visit.
Faucet installs cover all mounting configurations—single hole, three holes, or with a deck plate—and we pressure test everything thoroughly. Moving a sink location is a bigger job requiring drain and vent rerouting plus supply line extensions, and we handle the permits and inspections needed to do it right.
Dishwasher & Other Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installation includes attaching the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking electrical needs (which we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines from the closest supply, using either copper or braided stainless steel tubing, ensuring shutoff valves are accessible behind the fridge.
We also install hot water dispensers, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. With RO, we drill and mount a dedicated faucet on the sink deck, connect supply and waste lines, and can guide you on filter maintenance. Call us at 331-207-1770 for any appliance plumbing question.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching from electric to gas, or adding a cooktop in a new island? We handle the entire gas line job—from sizing the pipe to match your appliance's BTU rating, routing it from the gas meter or existing line, installing shutoff valves, connecting appliances with code-approved flexible connectors, testing for leaks, and managing permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for more information.
Important to plan early: gas line rough-ins need to happen before cabinets go in. Running gas lines after cabinetry is installed is tricky and costly. Work with your general contractor and us to schedule this phase properly.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall above your stove, so you can fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. It requires a cold water line run inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and a few inches offset from the stove centerline. This install is straightforward during a remodel when walls are open but can be done in finished kitchens too, though it means cutting into walls, patching, and repainting or retiling. Reach out at 331-207-1770 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks demand special attention because their drains can’t tie into wall vents the usual way. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAV), depending on local codes in Illinois. The water supply is simple, running hot and cold lines under the floor to the island. The drain and vent piping runs under your subfloor and back up into the island cabinet, requiring precise planning. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks—call us before finalizing your island design.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but island sinks require special venting since they can't connect to wall vents like normal sinks. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves depending on local codes. Water supply lines are simple, but drain and vent pipes need precise routing under the floor. We’ve done many of these setups—call 331-207-1770 to talk through your island layout before you finalize plans.
Replacing fixtures in the same spot, like faucets or disposals, usually doesn’t require a permit. But any work involving drain rerouting, new supply lines, gas lines, or changing plumbing layouts will require permits. We take care of the permit applications and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
