What plumbing work is needed for a kitchen remodel?

Kitchen plumbing for remodels can involve installing new sinks and faucets, setting up garbage disposals, hooking up dishwashers, running water lines for ice makers, adding pot filler faucets, installing or relocating gas lines for cooking appliances, putting in water filtration systems, and adjusting supply and drain piping if the layout changes.

How much does kitchen plumbing cost for a remodel in Western Springs?

Swapping out fixtures like faucets typically costs between $400 and $1,200 in labor. Moving a sink can add $1,000 to $3,000 due to drain and supply rerouting. Installing a gas line for a new stove ranges from $300 to $1,500. For a full plumbing rough-in on a major kitchen renovation, prices usually fall between $2,000 and $6,000 or more. We provide clear estimates based on your project specifics.

Can you move the kitchen sink to a different location?

Absolutely. Relocating a sink means rerouting the drainpipe, venting, and hot and cold water lines to the new spot. This is more complex than a simple fixture swap but we handle permits and inspections to make sure it’s done right. Costs depend on how far the move is and what drain routing is involved.

Do you install gas lines for kitchen stoves?

Yes, our licensed plumbers lay new gas lines for stoves, ovens, and cooktops. We calculate the correct pipe size to match the appliance’s BTU rating, run the line from the gas meter or supply, install shutoff valves, connect the appliance, test for leaks under pressure, and handle permitting and inspections.

Can you install a pot filler faucet?

Yes, we install pot fillers by running a cold water line inside the wall above your stove, usually about two feet from the cooking surface. It’s easiest during a remodel with open walls but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with minimal damage. Call us to discuss the best approach for your space.

Kitchen Plumbing Services in Western Springs, IL

Whether you need a quick faucet change or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul, we cover it all. Tasks can be as simple as hooking up a dishwasher or garbage disposal in a couple of hours, or as involved as moving your sink to an island, installing a new gas line for your range, or adding a pot filler faucet. Each job has different requirements for timing, permits, and labor — but our team is ready for anything.

Here's a tip from my experience: get your plumber involved before the cabinets go in. Moving plumbing lines is much easier when subfloors and walls are open. If you’re planning a new gas line for your stove or island cooktop, that rough-in needs to happen early too. Pot filler faucets require wall access, best done before tile or backsplash is installed. Scheduling us sooner rather than later can save headaches down the road.

We also handle kitchen plumbing repairs or installations outside of remodels — faucet and fixture swaps, garbage disposal servicing, refrigerator water line installations, and more. Remodeling is a great time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear out any sluggish drains before everything's closed up. Reach out at 708-729-6565 — we’re here for all your kitchen plumbing needs.

Our Kitchen Plumbing Services

Sinks and Faucet Installations

We fit all types of kitchen sinks, from undermount and farmhouse styles to single or double bowls and prep sinks. Installation covers draining baskets, strainers, P-traps, and braided stainless steel supply lines to ensure durability and leak-free operation—not those brittle plastic hoses. Garbage disposal hookup is also handled during the same visit when needed.

Faucet installation includes all configurations—single hole, triple hole with deck plates—and we pressure-test every connection before wrapping up. Need to move the sink? That’s more complex and involves rerouting drain pipes, adjusting venting, and extending supply lines, all with the proper permits and inspections. We manage the process from start to finish.

Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups

We connect dishwashers with properly installed hot water lines and drain hoses arranged with high loops or air gaps to keep waste from backing up. While we check electrical readiness, wiring remains an electrician’s task. For refrigerators, we run dedicated water supply lines for ice makers and filtered water dispensers using copper or braided stainless tubing, complete with convenient shutoffs behind the appliance.

Got an instant hot water dispenser or under-sink reverse osmosis filter? We handle faucet installation and all plumbing connections. For filtration systems, we’ll walk you through routine maintenance and cartridge changes. Call us anytime for your kitchen appliance water needs at 708-729-6565.

Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances

Switching to gas or adding a cooktop in the island? We install gas lines sized for your appliance’s BTU requirements, run piping from your gas meter or supply, fit shutoff valves, use approved flexible connectors, and pressure test everything. We also handle all permitting and inspections for safe, code-compliant work. Review our full process on the gas line services page.

Keep in mind: gas line rough-in must be completed before cabinets are installed to avoid costly and disruptive work later. Coordinate scheduling with your general contractor and us early on for best results.

Pot Filler Faucet Setup

A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove lets you fill large pots without lugging them across the kitchen. We run a cold water line inside the wall roughly 56 to 60 inches high and just off center from the range. During remodels, this is a straightforward install with minimal extra work. For existing kitchens, we’ll carefully open the wall, install the line and faucet, then patch and finish the surface. Call us at 708-729-6565 for a custom assessment.

Island Sink Plumbing and Venting

Plumbing for island sinks presents unique challenges since the drain can’t connect to a standard wall vent. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs), depending on local code requirements, to prevent traps from siphoning dry. Running hot and cold water supply is straightforward, but routing drain and vent lines beneath the floor and back up requires precision planning. We’ve installed many island sinks in Western Springs homes—let’s discuss your layout before finalizing plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing

Finalize sink placement before demolition: Moving a sink can significantly raise costs—confirm location early.
Install gas lines before cabinets: Rough-in for gas must be done ahead of cabinetry installation.
Pot filler goes in before tile or backsplash: Wall access is simpler before finishes are applied.
Upgrade old shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Replace failing gate valves with reliable ball valves during remodeling.
Run fridge water lines before countertop installation: Easier to install piping before counters are set.

Note on Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing Costs Pricing depends heavily on the scope of work. A faucet and disposal swap might cost a few hundred in labor, while relocating the sink, installing a gas line, and adding island plumbing can push costs into the several-thousand-dollar range. We don’t have averages that fit every project. Call 708-729-6565 with your details, and we’ll give a straightforward, tailored quote.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing

We do this often, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing shifts because island drains need special venting solutions like island loop vents or air admittance valves. Running water supply is easy enough, but the drain and vent pipes have to be routed carefully under the floor. Give us a call at 708-729-6565 before you finalize your island plans so we can plan properly.

If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same location, permits typically aren’t required. But anytime you reroute drains, run new supply lines, relocate plumbing, or install gas lines, permits and inspections are mandatory. We take care of all permitting and coordinate with the city to keep your project compliant.

Yes, installing a gas line during remodeling is ideal since walls are open. We install properly sized gas lines, handle all pressure testing, and ensure permits are pulled for the work. Planning this early prevents delays and extra work once cabinets are installed. Check out our gas line services page for more details.

We frequently collaborate with general contractors and designers on remodels. Our team fits into your project schedule and manages plumbing rough-ins and finish work with the necessary permits. Call 708-729-6565 to get us involved early and keep your kitchen project running smoothly.
