Kitchen Plumbing Solutions in Hinsdale, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet or doing a full-scale remodel that means moving sinks and adding gas lines, we’ve got the tools and know-how to get the job done right. Kitchen plumbing jobs can take anywhere from a few hours to several days depending on complexity, and sometimes permits are required. Whatever your project demands, you can count on us to handle every detail.
My recommendation? Bring a plumber into the conversation early – before cabinets and countertops are installed. If you’re moving the sink, the drain rerouting should happen while the subfloor is exposed. Gas lines for new ranges or cooktops need to be installed prior to cabinetry. Pot fillers mean opening up walls behind the stove, which is far simpler before tile and backsplash go in. Planning plumbing early will keep your project running smoothly and keep surprises off your plate.
We also take care of kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside of remodels — faucet changes, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water lines, and more. If you’re remodeling, it’s a good time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear any slow kitchen drains before everything’s closed back up. Give us a call at 331-233-1008 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. That includes fitting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting hot and cold braided stainless steel supply lines, not the old plastic ones prone to cracking. When relevant, we handle garbage disposal installation during the same visit.
For faucets, we handle every style and mount type (1-hole, 3-hole, deck-plate), making sure to test for leaks under pressure before finishing up. Moving a sink to a new spot is a larger project involving drain rerouting, vent modifications, and supply extensions — we take care of the entire process including necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installations include hooking up the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking that the electrical supply is adequate (we coordinate with your electrician as needed). For refrigerators with ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines made of copper or braided stainless steel with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units. For those, we install dedicated faucets, connect supply and drainage, and talk you through ongoing filter maintenance. Any kitchen appliance plumbing, just give us a ring at 331-233-1008.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to convert to gas cooking or add a gas cooktop in an island? We install gas lines sized properly according to your appliance's BTU requirements, run the piping from the nearest gas main or meter, install shutoff valves, attach code-approved flexible connectors, pressure test the whole system, and manage permits and inspections. You can learn more on our gas line services page.
Important: gas line installation must be done before cabinetry goes in. Running gas lines after cabinets are installed is disruptive and expensive. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler mounts on the wall above your stove so you can fill pots without crossing the kitchen carrying water. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall around 56 to 60 inches above the floor and usually 4 inches offset from the center of the range. It’s simplest when walls are open during remodeling, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with limited wall damage. Call us at 331-233-1008 to talk specifics.
Island Sink & Drain Engineering
Island sinks come with unique drain challenges since they can’t tie directly into typical wall vent stacks. They require either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drains through the floor and back into vent stacks demands careful design and installation. We have plenty of experience with island sink plumbing — reach out before you finalize your kitchen layout.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Finalize sink location before demolition: Moving the sink involves major plumbing changes, so lock down placement before ordering cabinets.
- Install gas lines before cabinetry: Any new gas piping to the island or range location needs to happen prior to cabinet installation.
- Pot filler installation before backsplash: It’s easier and less messy to open walls before backsplash tile goes up.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Old gate valves tend to leak or fail, so swap them for ball valves during remodel.
- Run fridge water lines early: Installing ice maker supply lines is simpler before countertops are set.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s one of the trickier plumbing tasks since island sinks require special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Supplying water is straightforward, but the drain and vent lines need careful routing through the floor. We do this frequently, so call 331-233-1008 to plan your island plumbing before you finalize your design.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same spot (like installing a new faucet or disposal), usually no permit is needed. But for any drain rerouting, new supply lines, gas line work, or layout changes, permits are required. We handle all permitting and inspections as part of our service.
