Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Oak Forest, IL
Whether you’re doing a quick update like swapping out a faucet, hooking up a new garbage disposal, or a major overhaul such as relocating the sink, adding a gas line for your range, or installing a pot filler, we’ve got the experience to get it done right. The size of the job affects cost, timing, and which permits are involved, but whatever your needs, our team can handle it efficiently.
When planning your remodel, I recommend scheduling your plumber before the cabinets go in. Moving a sink means adjusting drain lines while the subfloor is still accessible. Installing a gas line for a new stove or island must be roughed in prior to cabinetry. Pot fillers need wall access, so it’s best to handle that early before tile or backsplash work. Getting us involved early helps avoid costly delays and rework.
We also serve homeowners needing kitchen plumbing repairs or upgrades outside of remodels — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installs. A kitchen remodel is also a good time to check your water heater capacity and clear out slow drains with professional drain cleaning. Give us a call at 708-729-6139 for any kitchen plumbing help.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink & Faucet Setup
From undermounts to apron-front farmhouse sinks, single or double bowls, and prep sinks, we install them all. We handle the entire drain assembly—strainers, baskets, and P-traps—plus the hot and cold braided stainless supply lines for reliability. When you need a new garbage disposal attached, we can install that at the same time.
Faucet installs cover all styles and mounting types—1-hole, 3-hole, or deck plate configurations. We pressure test connections to ensure leak-free performance. If you’re relocating your sink, expect a more detailed job involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extensions, all done with the necessary permits.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
We connect dishwashers with hot water supply lines, install the drain hose using proper air gap or high loop methods to prevent contamination, and check electrical setups in coordination with your electrician. For fridges with ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines securely and add shutoff valves for easy maintenance.
We also set up instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO, we install the faucet through the sink deck and connect supply and waste lines, plus advise on filter upkeep. Call us at 708-729-6139 for all your kitchen appliance hookups.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Equipment
If you’re switching to gas or adding a cooktop, we expertly run gas piping sized for your appliance’s BTU needs. We route lines from the closest gas source, install shutoff valves, connect with flexible gas connectors, and conduct pressure testing to meet code. We also manage permits and inspections.
Keep in mind, gas line rough-ins should be completed before cabinetry installation. Trying to add or reroute gas lines after cabinets are installed can mean unnecessary demolition and delays. Coordinate early with us and your contractor to keep your project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall over the stove lets you fill pots easily without lugging heavy containers across the kitchen. Installing one involves running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and near the stove. It's simpler during the remodel when walls are open, but we can carefully retrofit finished kitchens too, minimizing any damage.
Island Sink Plumbing
Island sinks bring unique challenges because their drains can’t vent into the wall like typical sinks. Instead, they require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. While running supply lines to the island is straightforward, the drain and vent routing under the floor needs precision. We’re experienced with these setups and can guide you through the best options for your island.

- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines before counters are set
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve to handle drainage properly. Running supply lines is straightforward, but routing drains through the floor needs careful design. We install plenty of island sinks and can help plan yours—call 708-729-6139 before finalizing your layout.
Replacing fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot usually doesn’t require a permit. But if you’re moving drains, adding supply lines, or working on gas piping, permits are mandatory. We handle the entire permitting and inspection process to keep everything above board.
