Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services in Dolton, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul—including relocating your sink, installing gas lines for your stove, or adding a pot filler faucet—we get it done right. The extent of your project sets the timeline, cost, and permit requirements, but no matter the size, our licensed team is ready to help.
Here’s a tip from me: have the plumbing set up before your cabinets arrive. If the sink’s moving, the drain rerouting must happen while the subfloor is still accessible. Gas line installation for a new stove or island cooktop needs to be roughed in before cabinetry goes in. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind the stove, which is much simpler without a backsplash installed. Scheduling your plumber early will keep your remodel running smoothly.
We also cover standalone kitchen plumbing jobs—like faucet replacements, garbage disposal services, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installations—even if you aren’t remodeling. Remodeling is also a good time to check if your water heater can keep up with new demands or to clear out slow kitchen drains before everything’s sealed up. Reach out at 708-815-8859 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink and Faucet Installation
We handle every type of kitchen sink installation, including undermount sinks (which need coordination with your countertop fabricator), drop-in, apron-front farm sinks, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. We install the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connect braided stainless steel supply lines for durability—not the brittle plastic hoses. If you need a garbage disposal installed with your sink, we take care of that, too.
For faucets, we can install all mounting styles—single-hole, three-hole, or with a deck plate—and thoroughly test every connection before leaving. Moving your sink to a new spot is a bigger job involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extensions. That’s no problem—we handle the permits and inspections too.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers by linking the hot water supply and drain lines, making sure the drain hose has the proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. While electrical connections fall under the electrician’s work, we coordinate with them to ensure everything runs smoothly. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install a dedicated supply line—either copper or braided stainless steel—complete with an accessible shutoff valve behind the fridge.
We also set up instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including mounting dedicated faucets and hooking up supply and drain lines. Give us a call at 708-815-8859 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to a gas stove or adding a gas cooktop? Our licensed plumbers size and install gas lines per your appliance’s BTU needs. We run piping from your gas meter or existing line, install shutoff valves where required, connect with flexible connectors approved by code, pressure test everything, and manage permits and inspections. You can learn more on our gas line services page.
Important: if you want a gas line to an island or a new appliance spot, get this done before the cabinets are in place. Trying to add gas lines after cabinetry is already installed wastes time and leads to unnecessary disruption. Plan ahead with your GC and our plumbers to keep your project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted over your stove makes filling large pots easy without lugging them from your sink. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches high and roughly four inches off center from the stove. This is much simpler during a remodel when walls are open, but we can also add pot fillers in finished kitchens with some wall work, patching, and repainting. Reach out at 708-815-8859 for details.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks present a unique challenge because their drains can’t connect to a wall vent the usual way. We install either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV)—whichever your local code requires. Running hot and cold water supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drains and vents through the floor and below the subfloor takes careful planning. We’ve handled many island sink plumbing projects, so call us before finalizing your island’s design.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink placement early: Moving sinks is costly—decide before ordering cabinets
- Run gas lines before cabinets: Gas piping for islands or ranges must be roughed in first

- Upgrade shutoff valves while exposed: Old gate valves fail; swap for ball valves during remodel
- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier installation when counters aren’t yet set
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s a complex task because island sinks need special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve to meet code. Running the water supply is straightforward, but drain and vent routing under the floor requires careful work. We do this regularly, so call us at 708-815-8859 to talk about your island’s plumbing before you finalize the layout.
If you’re just replacing fixtures like faucets, disposals, or dishwashers in the same spot, generally no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or moving plumbing fixtures, permits are required. We take care of pulling permits and scheduling inspections as part of our service.
Absolutely. The best time to install gas lines is during a remodel when walls and floors are open. We handle sizing, installation, testing, and permits for gas lines to ranges, cooktops, and ovens. Make sure to book your gas line installation before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
