Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Alsip, IL
From quick faucet swaps to complex rough-in work, kitchen remodel plumbing covers a lot: installing sinks and faucets, hooking up disposals and dishwashers, plumbing new gas lines for your range, or adding features like prep sinks and pot fillers. How much work is needed drives cost, schedule, and permit needs. Whatever your project looks like, we’ve got the skills and experience to get it done right.
Here’s a pro tip: contact us at 708-729-6406 early in your remodel. Plumbing work should happen before cabinets arrive. Moving a sink means the drain lines need to be accessible beneath the floor. Installing a gas line for a range or island cooktop has to be roughed in before cabinetry goes up. Pot filler faucets require opening walls behind the stove, so it’s much smoother before backsplash tile goes in. Scheduling your plumber early saves headaches and delays.
We also handle kitchen plumbing repairs and installations outside of remodeling— faucet replacements, garbage disposal services, dishwasher hookups, and ice maker lines. Remodeling time is a smart chance to check your water heater’s capacity and fix any slow drains before everything’s sealed up. Give us a call at 708-729-6406 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We work with all sink styles — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse apron, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Sink installs include assembling drain baskets, strainers, and P-traps, plus connecting braided stainless steel hot/cold supply lines for long-lasting reliability. When it fits, we install or replace your garbage disposal during the same visit for convenience.
Faucet setup covers various mount configurations — single hole, three hole, or deck plate. We pressure-test everything so you don’t get leaks later. Moving a sink to a new spot is more involved, requiring rerouting drains and vents, plus extending supply lines — we handle all that along with permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections involve hooking the hot water supply, routing the drain with a high loop or air gap to prevent contamination, and confirming your electrical setup is compatible (we coordinate with electricians as needed). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated water lines with proper shutoff valves for easy maintenance.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we install the specialized faucet, connect supply and drain lines, and offer advice on filter cartridge upkeep. Call 708-729-6406 for appliance plumbing in your kitchen.
Gas Line Installation
Switching to a gas range or adding a cooktop island? We size and install gas pipes based on your appliance's BTU rating, route them from your gas meter or main supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible, code-compliant fittings, and complete all pressure testing. We also handle permits and inspections to keep it all above board. Visit our gas line services page for details.
Keep in mind: gas lines must be roughed in before cabinets go in. Trying to route a gas line after cabinetry is a major hassle — plan with us and your contractor early.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
This wall-mounted tap above your stove lets you fill pots without lugging heavy water across the kitchen. It requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall at about 56 to 60 inches off the floor, positioned near the cooktop. It’s easiest to install during a remodel when walls are accessible but can be added later with some patchwork. Contact us at 708-729-6406 for details.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is trickier than a wall-mounted one because the drain can’t tie into standard vent stacks. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAV), depending on local codes. Supply lines are straightforward, but routing the drain and vent pipes through the subfloor and back up requires experience. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs in Alsip homes — give us a call before you set your layout.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Relocating the sink is the most complex and costly plumbing change—finalize it before ordering cabinets.
- Install gas lines before cabinets: Gas pipe installations must be roughed in before cabinetry goes in to avoid costly rework.
- Schedule pot filler installs before backsplash: Opening walls is much easier before tile installation.
- Replace shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Old gate valves tend to fail; upgrade to ball valves during remodeling.
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: It’s simpler to install ice maker lines before countertops are set.
Kitchen Remodel FAQ
Yes, but it involves more plumbing work than just swapping fixtures. Island sinks need special venting, either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, to keep drains working properly. Supply lines are easier, but running drain and vent pipes through the floor takes careful planning. We’ve done many island sink installs in Alsip and would be happy to help you plan yours—call us at 708-729-6406.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot, typically no permit is required. But if you’re rerouting drains, installing new supply piping, adding gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout, a permit is necessary. We handle all permit applications and inspections, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Yes, this is best done while walls and floors are open. We size, install, and pressure test gas lines for stoves, cooktops, and ovens. Plus, we take care of permits and inspections. Make sure to schedule the gas line work before cabinets and flooring go in.
