Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Lyons, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet or doing a full kitchen remodel that includes moving the sink, installing a gas line, or adding a pot filler, we’ve got you covered. Your project size shapes the timeframe, cost, and whether permits are required. No matter the job, our team handles it from start to finish.
Here’s my tip: contact us at 708-734-6913 early—before cabinets go in. Moving the sink means working on drain lines while the subfloor is still exposed. Gas line rough-ins for ranges or islands need to happen before cabinetry too. Pot filler installations require opening walls, best done before backsplash tile is applied. Planning ahead helps avoid delays and surprises in your kitchen upgrade.
We also assist with smaller kitchen plumbing needs outside of remodels, like faucet swaps, disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs. Remodeling is a great opportunity to test if your water heater can handle new appliance loads or to resolve slow draining issues before cabinets go back. Give us a call at 708-734-6913.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services Include
Sink and Faucet Installations
We handle all types of kitchen sinks—undermount coordinating with your countertop, drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation covers drain basket assembly, strainers, P-traps, and water supply lines. We always use braided stainless steel supply lines for durability, never the old plastic that cracks. We also take care of garbage disposal installations during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle every style and mounting type including single-hole, three-hole, and deck-plate configurations. We pressure-test everything before we leave. Relocating your sink means rerouting drains, modifying vents, and extending supply lines—we handle the permitting and inspection process for these bigger jobs as well.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections require hooking up the hot water supply and drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We also check that your electrical setup is ready and coordinate with electricians as needed. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines with proper shutoff valves discreetly placed behind the unit.
Beyond that, we install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filters, and reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, we mount the faucet on your sink deck, hook up supply and drain lines, and advise on filter maintenance. Call 708-734-6913 for any kitchen appliance plumbing installation.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
If you’re switching to gas or adding a cooktop to an island, we take care of everything: correctly sizing the gas piping to match appliance BTUs, running the lines from your gas meter or existing supply, installing shutoff valves, and connecting with approved flexible connectors. We pressure test all work and handle permits and inspections to keep your kitchen safe and code-compliant. Check our gas line services page for full details.
Keep in mind, gas lines must be roughed in before cabinets go in. Trying to retrofit a gas line after cabinetry is installed is tricky and invasive. It's best to coordinate this early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove makes filling large pots simple without lugging water across the kitchen. This requires running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor, about 4 inches off center from your range. Installing this is much simpler when the walls are open during remodels, but we can also handle retrofits in finished kitchens with minimal mess—patching and finishing included. Call 708-734-6913 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Installation
Island sinks are a unique plumbing challenge because the drain can’t vent into a wall stack like usual. We install an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV) to keep air flowing properly. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward; the drain and vent pipes route beneath the floor and back up through the island cabinetry, which requires precise planning and execution. We install island sinks regularly—let’s talk over your layout before you finalize your design.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location upfront: Moving sinks drives up cost and complexity, so finalize before demo.
- Gas line rough-ins before cabinetry: Avoid costly retrofits by scheduling gas piping early.
- Pot filler installations before backsplash: Opening walls is easier prior to tile.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while exposed: Old gate valves often fail—replace with ball valves during remodel.
- Fridge water lines before countertop installation: Pulling lines is simpler when counters aren’t yet set.
Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Definitely, but moving the sink to an island involves special venting — either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). While running supply lines is straightforward, routing the drain and vent pipes under the floor takes careful planning. We install island sinks regularly. Give us a call at 708-734-6913 to review your layout before you finalize plans.
If you're just swapping out fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, usually no permit is needed. But if you're rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout, permits are required. We handle all the paperwork and inspections, so you don’t have to worry.
Yes, and it’s best done during the remodel when walls are open. We install properly sized gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, perform pressure testing, and handle all necessary permits and inspections. Make sure to schedule gas rough-in before your cabinetry goes in to avoid costly delays.
