Trusted Kitchen Plumbing in Steger, IL
Kitchen plumbing projects can be quick fixes—like swapping faucets, hooking up disposals, or connecting dishwashers—or they can be more complex, involving rerouting drains to islands, installing gas lines for stoves, adding prep sinks, or fitting pot fillers. The job size affects your cost, timeframe, and permits. Whatever your remodel needs, we’re ready to help.
Here's what I always tell homeowners: get us involved before the cabinets arrive. If you’re moving your sink, the drain and water lines must be adjusted while the floor is open. Installing a gas line for a range or cooktop needs to be done before cabinetry goes in, as does putting in a pot filler—since it requires opening the wall behind your stove. Getting on our schedule early can save headaches down the line, especially with Illinois winters not ideal for delays.
We also provide standalone kitchen plumbing services outside remodels—faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water line installations. Remodeling is a great time to make sure your water heater can keep up with new demands and clear out any slow drains before cabinets close everything off. Reach out anytime at 708-726-3202.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink and Faucet Installation
We handle all sink types you might choose—undermount (coordinated with countertop cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our work includes installing drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting hot and cold braided stainless supply lines for durability. We also install garbage disposals on the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we fit every style and mounting type (single-hole, three-hole, with deck plates), pressure-test every connection, and stand behind our work. Moving your sink's location involves drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extension—we’re fully licensed for that and handle permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers with proper hot water supply and drain lines, ensuring high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. We check the unit’s power setup so everything works smoothly alongside your electrician. For fridge water lines (ice makers, filtered water), we run dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves accessible behind the unit.
Additionally, we install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installations and system connections. Call 708-726-3202 and we’ll get your appliances hooked up right.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Whether you’re upgrading to a gas range or adding a cooktop on an island, we do the full gas line rough-in. That means sizing pipe per BTU load, running lines from your meter or existing gas supply, putting in shut-off valves, connecting with approved flexible connectors, pressure testing, and securing permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for more on how we keep gas work safe and code-compliant.
Important: gas line rough-ins for islands or new locations must happen before cabinets go up. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry adds cost and hassle. Plan ahead with your GC and us to keep your remodel on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet over your stove is convenient for filling pots without extra trips. Installing one requires running a cold water line inside the wall, roughly 56 to 60 inches off the floor, about 4 inches to the side of your stove center. It’s simpler during a remodel with open walls, but we can work in finished kitchens with careful wall openings and repairs. Call 708-726-3202 to talk through your setup.
Island Sink Installation and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island needs special attention because typical wall venting isn't available. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) depending on local code. Running hot and cold supply lines is straightforward, but routing drains and vents under the floor and back up into the island requires expertise. We’ve handled many island sink projects and can help you plan before finalizing your kitchen layout.

- Confirm sink location before demo: Moving the sink involves rerouting plumbing and can add significant cost—decide early
- Run gas lines before cabinets: Gas lines to islands or relocated appliances must be installed prior to cabinetry
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Wall access is much simpler when tile isn’t installed yet

- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines before counters go in
Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing?
Yes, moving the sink to an island is doable but requires special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve since there's no wall vent. Running water supply lines is usually straightforward, but drain and vent routing under the floor needs expert planning. We handle island sinks regularly—give us a call at 708-726-3202 to plan your layout before finalizing.
Replacing fixtures like faucets, disposals, or dishwashers in the same location generally doesn’t need a permit. But any plumbing that involves rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout does require permits. We take care of permit applications and inspections to keep everything up to code.
Definitely. Installing gas lines is safest and easiest during a remodel when walls are open. We size, install, pressure test, and handle permits for lines serving ranges, cooktops, and ovens. Make sure to book early so the gas line rough-in happens before cabinets go in.
