Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Algonquin, IL
Kitchen plumbing for remodels can be straightforward like swapping out a faucet or hooking up a disposal, or it can get more involved—like relocating sinks to islands, running new gas lines for ranges, adding prep sinks in pantries, or installing pot fillers. The complexity impacts timing, cost, and whether permits are necessary. No matter the job, we're equipped to handle it with precision.
My recommendation is to get us involved early—definitely before cabinetry goes in. If you plan on moving the sink, the drain rerouting has to happen while the subfloor is accessible. Gas line installs for new ranges or island cooktops should be roughed in before cabinets are set. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind the stove, so it’s simpler before backsplashes are tiled. Scheduling your plumber early can save headaches, especially with Illinois’ unpredictable weather slowing things down.
We also provide stand-alone kitchen plumbing services outside of remodels—like faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, and hooking up dishwashers or refrigerator water lines. Kitchen renovations are a good time to check if your water heater has capacity for additional appliances or to clear slow drains before cabinets go back. Give us a call at 224-348-8362 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle every sink installation type you might have: undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double basin, and prep sinks. Our installation includes setting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting water supplies with durable braided stainless steel lines—no brittle old plastic here. We also install and hook up garbage disposals when needed.
For faucets, we accommodate all mounting styles, whether it’s a single hole, triple hole, or deck plate setup. We test all work under pressure to ensure leak-free operation. Moving a sink to a new spot involves rerouting drains, venting, and supply lines with permits and inspections, which we take care of professionally.
Dishwasher & Appliance Water Lines
Dishwasher installations include connecting hot water, routing the drain hose with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and ensuring electrical connections are safe (we coordinate with your electrician). We also run dedicated cold water lines for refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, using copper or stainless steel tubing properly supported and with accessible shutoffs.
Additionally, we install under-sink water filtration, instant hot water dispensers, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we'll install a dedicated faucet, hook up supply and waste lines, and guide you on regular filter changes. Call 224-348-8362 for any appliance connection projects.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch a range from electric to gas or add a cooktop on your island? We size and install gas lines to meet your appliance’s BTU requirements, route piping from your gas meter or existing line, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with code-approved flexible connectors, and perform thorough pressure tests. We handle all permits and inspections to keep everything safe and up to code. Visit our gas line services page to learn more.
Important tip: gas line rough-ins need to be completed before your cabinets are installed. Trying to add gas lines afterward means cutting through cabinetry and flooring, which is disruptive and costly. Work with us and your general contractor early to coordinate this step.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler is mounted on the wall near your stove so you can fill pots without lugging them from the sink. We run a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and just off-center from the range. This install is easiest during a remodel with walls open, but we can also retrofit one in finished kitchens with some careful wall patching and refinishing. Call us to discuss what fits your kitchen.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Installing a sink on an island requires special venting since you can’t connect to a wall vent the usual way. Depending on local code, you’ll need an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor and subfloor takes precise planning. We’ve done plenty of island designs in Algonquin homes and can help you get it right.

Kitchen Plumbing Timing Guidelines
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving sinks is often the priciest plumbing change — lock in placement before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in first: Gas piping to islands or new appliance spots must be finished prior to cabinet installation
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Wall access is much easier before tile goes in
- Replace shutoff valves while accessible: Swap aging gate valves for reliable ball valves during rough-in
- Run fridge water lines early: Easier to install ice maker lines before countertops are set
Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, but it’s a detailed job. Island sinks need special venting solutions like island loop vents or air admittance valves since you can’t tie into a wall vent. Water supply lines are straightforward, but routing the drain requires careful work under your floor.

If you’re only swapping out fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, permits usually aren’t needed. But any rerouting of drains, adding new supply lines, gas line work, or changing the kitchen layout will require permits. We handle all the paperwork and inspections for you.
