Kitchen Remodel Plumbing Services in Crete, IL
Whether you’re swapping out a faucet, hooking up a new disposal, or rerouting pipes for a major kitchen redesign, our team can handle all kitchen plumbing work. Some jobs take a few hours, like installing a new faucet or dishwasher hookup, while others, like relocating your sink or running a gas line for a cooktop, can take several days and might need permits. No matter the scale, we’ve got you covered.
Pro tip: bring your plumber onboard before the cabinets go in. For example, if you’re moving the sink, the drain and vent lines need to be rerouted while the subfloor is exposed. Gas line rough-ins — whether for a range or cooktop in an island — must be done before cabinetry gets installed. And pot fillers require the wall behind the stove opened up before backsplash tile goes in. Early scheduling avoids headaches later on.
We also do kitchen plumbing fixes outside of remodels — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher connections, or refrigerator water lines. If your kitchen is older, like many homes in south suburban Illinois, it’s a good time to check your water heater capacity or address slow drains before closing everything up. Call 708-847-4942 anytime for service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installation
From undermount and farmhouse sinks to drop-in styles, we install them all — including drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and hot/cold braided stainless supply lines for reliability. We also handle faucet mounting in any configuration, pressure test for leaks, and ensure everything is solid. When relocating a sink, we’ll reroute drains and vents and pull permits to keep it all up to code. Need a garbage disposal? We install and connect those too as part of the job.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Installing a dishwasher requires connecting the hot water supply and drain line with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We make sure the electric connection is ready (working with your electrician as needed). For your fridge’s ice maker or water dispenser, we run a dedicated cold water line with a shutoff valve hidden behind the unit. We also install instant hot water dispensers and water filtration systems like reverse osmosis, including faucet mounting and line connections.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Adding a gas range or cooktop? We run gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU needs from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect with flexible gas connectors, and pressure test everything. We handle all permits and inspections so the job meets code. Keep in mind, gas line work must happen before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework. Coordinate early with your builder and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are great for filling pots right at the stove, cutting down on heavy lifting. We run a cold water supply inside the wall behind your cooktop, mounted about 24 inches above the surface. This is easiest during a remodel, but we can install one in an existing kitchen too — although that means patching drywall or tile afterward. Give us a call to discuss your setup.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks require special venting solutions since there’s no nearby wall to vent into. Depending on local code, we install an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to keep drains flowing properly. We also run hot and cold water supply lines from your nearest main line. The drain and vent lines run beneath the floor and up inside the island cabinetry — it takes experienced planning. We’ve done plenty in homes around Crete; let’s talk before you finalize your island layout.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, but it’s one of the trickier plumbing jobs because island sinks require special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). While running supply lines is straightforward, the drain and vent piping has to run under the floor and back up through the island. We do this often in Crete homes, so call us early to plan your layout right.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot—like a faucet or disposal—permits usually aren’t needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, running new supply lines, adding gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout, permits are required. We handle all the paperwork and inspections for you.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines for kitchen ranges, ovens, and cooktops is part of our service. We size and pressure test the line, handle permits, and make sure everything meets code. It’s best to schedule this rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid rework.
