Professional Kitchen Plumbing Services in Oak Lawn, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul, we cover it all. From installing new sinks, hooking up disposals and dishwashers, to relocating your sink island-side, running new gas lines for ranges, or prepping pot filler faucets — every job requires a clear plan, permits when needed, and precise execution. Our team handles the details so your remodel goes smoothly.
My tip: get your plumber in early, ideally before cabinetry arrives. Moving drains or supply lines is much easier when the subfloor is exposed. Running gas lines for a stove or cooktop needs to happen before cabinets are set. Pot filler faucet installation means opening the wall behind the stove, which is simpler before backsplash goes in. Coordinating plumbing early helps avoid costly delays in Oak Lawn’s older homes where remodeling can uncover surprises.
We also provide plumbing services separate from remodels — faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water line installs. If your water heater is aging, remodeling is a perfect time to upgrade, especially to meet increased demand from new appliances. Slow drains? We handle that too with hydro jetting or snaking before you seal walls and floors back up. Call us at 708-634-5773 any time.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installations
We fit all kinds of kitchen sinks—undermount requiring precision countertop cuts, drop-in models, farmhouse/apron fronts, single or double bowls, even prep sinks. We handle full drain assembly including strainers, P-traps, and braided stainless steel supply lines for durability. When installing disposals, we take care of wiring and plumbing connections as part of the same visit.
Faucet installations include any configuration whether one-hole single handle or 3-hole setups with deck plates. Each faucet is pressure tested for leaks before we wrap up. If you’re relocating your sink, expect additional work rerouting drain lines, vent stacks, and extending supply pipes—all with proper permitting and inspection.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Hooking up dishwashers requires connecting the hot water line, installing the drain hose with an air gap or high loop to prevent backflow, and making sure the electrical supply is up to code (we coordinate with electricians for that part). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated water lines with shutoff valves behind the fridge for easy access.
We also install under-sink water filtration units, instant hot water taps, and reverse osmosis systems. RO installations include dedicated faucet setup on the sink deck and proper supply and drain connections. Call us at 708-634-5773 for any appliance plumbing needs in your kitchen.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop to an island? Our team sizes and installs gas lines to match your appliance’s BTU rating. We run the line from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect the appliance with flexible gas connectors, conduct pressure testing, and handle all required permits and inspections. Proper installation ensures safety and code compliance.
Keep in mind: gas line rough-ins must be done before cabinetry goes in. Retrofitting gas lines through finished kitchen walls is difficult and costly. Plan with your general contractor and us early to keep your Oak Lawn kitchen project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers save steps by letting you fill pots directly at the stove. Installing one means running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56–60 inches above floor level and near the cooking surface. It’s straightforward during remodeling when walls are open. Adding a pot filler after the kitchen is finished requires cutting into walls, patching, painting, or retiling. Reach out at 708-634-5773 for options that fit your setup.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks demand special attention since their drains can’t tie into wall vents in the usual way. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) as required by local code. Supply lines are run from the nearest hot and cold sources, but routing drains and vents through floors and subfloors needs expert planning. We’ve handled many island sink installations in Oak Lawn homes—call us to talk through your design before finalizing.

- Confirm sink location early: Moving sinks is the priciest plumbing change—lock it down before ordering cabinets
- Do gas line rough-in before cabinetry: Gas piping must be installed prior to cabinet setup
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Easier to open walls before tile installation

- Run fridge water line before countertop installation: Simplifies installation if done before counters
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, that's doable but it's one of the more complex plumbing tasks. Island sinks require special venting — either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve depending on local code. Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drain and vent routing must be carefully planned. We've done many island sink installations in Oak Lawn homes; give us a call at 708-634-5773 to discuss your layout before you finalize your plans.
For simple replacements like swapping faucets, installing disposals, or hooking up dishwashers in existing locations, permits usually aren’t required. But any work involving rerouting drain lines, running new water supply pipes, moving fixtures, or gas line installation definitely requires permits. We take care of pulling permits and scheduling inspections as part of your project.
Absolutely. Installing new gas lines is best done during remodels when walls and floors are accessible. We size and install lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, perform pressure tests, and manage permits. Getting that gas rough-in done before cabinetry is key to avoiding costly hassles later on.
