Kitchen Plumbing Upgrades & Remodels in Hampshire, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet and hooking up a new disposal or undertaking a full kitchen plumbing overhaul with sink relocation, gas line installation, and special features like a pot filler, our team has the skills to get it done. The complexity influences cost, permits needed, and timing — but we handle all of it without hassle.
Here’s a tip from experience: schedule your plumber early, ideally before cabinetry goes in. If moving the sink, the drain and water lines must be routed while the floor and walls are accessible. New gas piping for ranges or cooktops must happen before cabinets are installed. Pot fillers require wall access behind the stove, so tackle those rough-ins before tiling the backsplash. Early plumbing prep keeps your timeline tight and avoid costly rework.
We also handle standalone kitchen plumbing jobs like replacing faucets, repairing disposals, or hooking up dishwashers and refrigerator water lines in existing kitchens. Remodeling is a great chance to check your water heater capacity or clear any slow kitchen drains before closing everything up. Give us a call at 224-218-5751 to set up service or ask about your remodel.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installations
We install all varieties of kitchen sinks—from undermount designs needing precise countertop cutouts, to farmhouse or apron-front styles, single and double bowls, plus prep sinks. Our work includes setting up drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and secure connections to hot and cold water lines using braided stainless steel supply lines that last.
We also handle faucet installations for every mount style—be it single-hole, three-hole, or with deck plates—testing everything for leaks before we wrap up. If you want your sink moved to a new spot, we’ll reroute drains, vents, and water supply with the right permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Water Connections
Hooking up your dishwasher involves connecting hot water lines, installing drain hoses with proper air gaps or high loops to prevent backflow, and checking the electrical setup with your electrician. For refrigerators, we run dedicated water lines for ice makers and water dispensers, using copper or braided stainless piping installed neatly with accessible shutoff valves.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units, including dedicated faucets and maintenance guidance. Call us anytime at 224-218-5751 for precision appliance connections.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas cooking or adding a cooktop in your island? We size and install gas piping to meet BTU requirements, run lines from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible code-approved connectors, and perform pressure tests. All work is permitted and inspected for safety. Visit our gas line services page for full details.
Plan ahead: installing gas lines to islands or new appliance locations must happen before cabinets are set. Retrofitting lines afterward can be disruptive and costly.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet lets you fill pots right at the stove, preventing heavy lifting from the sink. It requires running a cold water line inside the wall at roughly 56 to 60 inches high and about 4 inches from the stove’s center. Installing a pot filler is easiest during a remodel with open walls, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with minimal mess. Call 224-218-5751 to talk about your setup.
Island Sink Plumbing and Venting
Installing a sink on a kitchen island brings extra plumbing challenges because the drain can’t vent through a typical wall stack. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) per local codes to keep things flowing smoothly. The water supply is straightforward but routing the drain and vent beneath the floor and back up into the island cabinetry needs experience. We’ve done plenty of island sink jobs—reach out before you lock in your plans.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, but bear in mind this is one of the most involved plumbing tasks because island sinks require special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Supplying hot and cold water is simpler; the main complexity lies in routing drains through the floor. We handle these projects regularly—call us at 224-218-5751 before you finalize your island design.

But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout, permits and inspections are mandatory. We take care of all permit paperwork and inspection scheduling for you.
