Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services in Evanston, IL
Kitchen plumbing work can range from quick jobs like faucet replacements and hooking up disposals or dishwashers, to extensive projects that involve relocating sinks, installing gas lines for new ranges, adding prep sinks, or roughing in pot fillers. The scale of your project affects price, timeline, and whether permits are necessary — no matter the job, we’ve got it covered.
When planning your remodel, call us at 224-408-5078. I always recommend involving your plumber before cabinetry is installed. If the sink moves, drain rerouting needs to happen while floors are still open. Gas line installations must be roughed in before cabinets are set. Pot fillers require wall access behind the range — best done ahead of backsplash tile. Getting the plumbing scheduled early helps keep your project on track, especially with the unpredictable Chicago-area weather.
We also assist with standalone kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades — faucet swaps, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water line installations — all without a full remodel. Kitchen projects are a good moment to check your water heater capacity and clear any slow kitchen drains before putting everything back in place. Reach out at 224-408-5078 for any plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink and Faucet Installation
We handle all sink styles including undermount (which requires careful countertop coordination), drop-in, farmhouse, single and double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes setting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting braided stainless steel supply lines—not the brittle plastic ones that fail. We also install garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we install all types, managing mounting configurations like single-handle, three-hole, or deck plates. We pressure-test everything before finishing. Relocating your sink needs rerouting drains, modifying vents, and extending supply lines, all done with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include hooking up hot water supply, routing the drain with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and coordinating electrical checks with your electrician. For refrigerator ice makers, we install a dedicated cold water line using copper or braided stainless tubing, complete with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We also connect hot water dispensers, under-sink filters, and reverse osmosis systems. RO installs include faucet installation, supply and waste line connections, and guidance on filter maintenance. Give us a call at 224-408-5078 for any kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking about converting to gas or adding a cooktop on your island? We do the full gas line setup—sizing pipe according to BTUs, running it from your gas meter, installing the shutoff valve, connecting the appliance with a flexible, code-approved connector, pressure testing, plus managing permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for details on our safety procedures.
Important: new gas lines to islands or new appliance spots need to be roughed in before cabinetry goes in. Running new gas lines after cabinets are installed is tricky and disruptive, so plan ahead with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are wall-mounted faucets above the stove that make filling large pots easy without carrying them across the kitchen. Installing one involves running a cold water supply inside the wall about 56–60 inches off the floor and roughly 4 inches from the stove center. Best done during a remodel with open walls, but we can also install them in finished kitchens with some wall patching and touch-up work. Call us at 224-408-5078 to see what suits your kitchen.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Plumbing an island sink is trickier because you can’t vent the drain to a wall stack as usual. It requires an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) which depends on local code requirements. Running hot and cold water lines to the island is straightforward, but drain and vent pipe routing under the floor and back up into the island cabinet takes careful planning. We install island sinks often—call us before finalizing your island design.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, although it’s a more involved plumbing task. Island sinks require the drain vented differently—either with an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running the water lines is simple, but the drain and vent piping through the floor needs careful design. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs—call us at 224-408-5078 to talk through your layout before finalizing plans.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in place—like a faucet or disposal—permits usually aren’t needed. But any rerouting of drain lines, new water supply rough-ins, gas line installation, or changes in plumbing layout require permits and inspections. We handle all permitting for you as part of the job.
Definitely. We specialize in running gas lines for ranges, ovens, and cooktops during remodels when walls are open. We size the lines properly, test for leaks, and ensure all local codes and permit requirements are met. Get your gas line rough-in scheduled early, before cabinets go in.
