Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Hickory Hills, IL
Our kitchen plumbing work ranges from quick updates like replacing faucets or hooking up disposals and dishwashers, to complex projects including relocating sinks to islands, running gas lines for new ranges, adding prep sinks, or installing pot fillers. Each project varies in duration, cost, and whether permits are necessary. Whatever your plan, we’ve got it covered.
Pro tip: contact us at 708-729-5614 early in your remodel. If moving the sink, plumbing reroutes need access beneath subfloors before cabinetry goes in. Adding a gas line for a stove or island cooktop has to be roughed in ahead of cabinets as well. Pot filler installation requires wall access behind the range, which is simpler before backsplash tile is installed. Scheduling plumbing early helps keep your project on track—especially with the shifting Illinois seasons.
We also handle kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside of remodels. Whether you need faucet replacement, disposal repair, dishwasher hook-up, or refrigerator water line installation, give us a call. Kitchen remodels are also a good time to evaluate your water heater’s capacity and address slow drain issues before closing up cabinets. Reach out at 708-729-5614 whenever you need assistance.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services Include
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks: undermount (we coordinate with countertop fabrication), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting braided stainless steel water supply lines for durability. If you have a new or replacement garbage disposal, we’ll handle that setup during the same visit.
Faucet installation covers all mounting styles — single-hole, three-hole with deck plates, and more. We test everything under pressure before wrapping up. Relocating a sink is a bigger task requiring drain line changes, vent adjustments, and extended supply lines, which we manage fully including permit and inspection.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
We connect dishwashers by linking hot water supply lines and routing drain hoses with the necessary high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. We also verify your electrical set-up (though electricians handle wiring directly). For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines with proper shutoff valves behind the unit.
Other appliance hookups include instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO, we install the dedicated faucet, connect supply and drain lines, and advise on maintenance. Call us at 708-729-5614 for any kitchen appliance plumbing upgrades.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching from electric to gas cooking, or adding a gas cooktop in an island? We install properly sized gas lines routed from your meter or existing supply, including shutoff valves and flexible connectors. We pressure test the system and handle all permit and inspection details. Visit our gas line services page for full info.
Important: gas line rough-ins must be completed before cabinet installation, especially for islands. Routing gas lines after cabinetry is installed can be very disruptive and costly. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us to keep your timeline smooth.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers mount above your stove, making it easy to fill large pots without carrying them from the sink. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall at about 56-60 inches above the floor, roughly 4 inches off center from the cooktop. It’s straightforward during remodels with open walls; in finished kitchens, it requires cutting into walls, patching, and painting or tiling afterward. Call us at 708-729-5614 to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks pose a challenge because they can’t vent like wall sinks. We install proper island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) per local code. Water supply runs are direct, but draining under the floor and venting back up through the island cabinet take precise planning and execution. We’ve installed many island sinks in south suburban homes like those in Hickory Hills — give us a call to plan yours right.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Decide on sink placement early: Moving sinks is costly, so finalize before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-ins before cabinets: Running gas lines after cabinetry is difficult

- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install supply lines before counters go in
Common Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, moving a sink to an island is common but requires special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running the water supply is straightforward, but the drain and vent pipes need careful routing through or under the floor. We've done many island sinks in Hickory Hills homes. Call 708-729-5614 to talk over your layout.
If you're just replacing fixtures in the same location (like swapping a faucet or disposal), permits usually aren’t needed. However, any new drain rerouting, supply line installation, or gas line work will require permits and inspections. We manage the entire permit process to keep your project compliant.
