Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Glencoe, IL
Kitchen plumbing for remodels can be straightforward, like swapping out faucets or hooking up a dishwasher, or more involved like relocating a sink, running new gas lines for a cooktop, installing a prep sink in a pantry, or setting up a pot filler faucet. The size of the job dictates cost, timing, and permits. No matter the scope, our team is ready to handle it.
Give us a call at 224-269-8107 early in your project. Ideally, plumbing gets planned before cabinets arrive. Moving a sink means drain lines and vents have to be reworked with the subfloor exposed. Adding a gas line for a new stove or island cooktop must happen before cabinetry goes in. Pot fillers need wall access behind the range, which is best done prior to backsplash installation. Getting plumbing sorted early keeps your schedule tight and efficient—especially in older Glencoe homes where access can be tricky.
If you’re not remodeling but need kitchen plumbing help — faucet replacement, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or fridge water lines — we’re here. Remodeling is also a good time to inspect your water heater capacity and clear any slow drains before cabinets lock everything in. Reach out at 224-269-8107 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks—undermount to coordinate with your countertop, drop-in, farmhouse style with apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and supply line hookups. We use braided stainless steel water lines for durability, not old plastic lines prone to cracking. If you need a new or replacement garbage disposal, we’ll connect that at the same time.
For faucets, we handle every style and mount configuration—single-hole, three-hole, or with deck plates—and pressure test everything before finishing. Moving the sink location involves complex rerouting of drains, vents, and supply pipes, which we manage fully with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher plumbing includes connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a correct high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking that your electrical outlet meets codes (we work with your electrician on that). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines, either copper or braided stainless, with proper support and accessible shutoffs behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we provide faucet installation, supply and drain connections, and guide you on filter maintenance. Call us at 224-269-8107 for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Adding a gas range or cooktop? We install the gas line sized for your appliance’s BTU rating, run it from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect with approved flexible hoses, perform pressure testing, and handle all permits and inspections. Check our gas line services page for detailed info.
Plan this early since gas rough-ins must happen before cabinetry goes in. Installing gas lines after cabinets are in place is a real headache and can cause major disruption in your kitchen space. Work with your contractor and us to schedule this right.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted over your stove offers convenient filling for large pots without carrying heavy water across the kitchen. It requires running a cold water supply line behind the wall about 56–60 inches from the floor and slightly offset from the stove center. Best done when walls are open during a remodel, but we can retrofit existing kitchens with minimal mess. Call us at 224-269-8107 to explore options.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in a kitchen island is tricky because there’s no wall nearby for venting the drain. Island sinks require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) under the sink, depending on local code here in Glencoe. Hot and cold supply lines come from the nearest supply, but routing the drain and vent lines through the floor and back up through the island cabinetry takes careful planning. We have plenty of experience with island plumbing and can guide you through your layout before you finalize plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Finalize sink location before demo: Relocating the sink is one of the priciest changes; confirm before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Any new gas lines must be run before cabinetry installation
- Install pot filler before backsplash: It's much simpler to open the wall before tile goes up
- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Old gate valves tend to fail; replace with ball valves during plumbing work
- Run fridge water line before countertops: Easier to install dedicated water lines before counters are set
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Yes, but it’s one of the trickiest plumbing tasks because island sinks require special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running the water supply is straightforward, but directing the drain and vent lines through the floor demands precise work. We do this often—call us at 224-269-8107 to talk through your island layout before finalizing plans.
For simple replacements like swapping faucets, disposals, or hooking up dishwashers in the same location, permits usually aren’t necessary. But for any drain rerouting, new supply lines, gas line installations, or layout changes, permits are mandatory. We handle all the paperwork and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Definitely. Installing gas lines is safest and easiest when walls are open during a remodel. We size and install the gas line properly, test it for leaks, obtain permits, and schedule inspections. Arrange the gas rough-in before cabinetry goes in to avoid costly rework.
