Plumbing Services for Kitchen Remodels in Mokena, IL
From quick fixture swaps like faucet and disposal replacement to extensive projects such as relocating sinks, installing gas lines for ranges, or adding prep sinks and pot fillers, kitchen plumbing work varies widely. The project scale impacts cost, timing, and whether permits are needed. Whatever your kitchen upgrade requires, we’ve got you covered.
When you reach out to us at 708-734-5878, here’s a tip: engage the plumber before your cabinetry is installed. For example, moving the sink involves rerouting the drain beneath the subfloor, which is much easier before floors and cabinets are locked in. Gas line installations for new stoves or island cooktops need to happen ahead of cabinet installation. Pot filler faucets require opening the wall behind the stove, which is simplest before the backsplash goes up. Getting plumbing on the calendar early keeps your project on track through the unpredictable Illinois weather swings.
We also offer standalone kitchen plumbing repairs—whether that’s replacing a faucet, servicing your garbage disposal, hooking up a dishwasher, or installing a fridge water line—no remodel required. Kitchen upgrades are also a good time to check your water heater’s capacity and address any slow drains before cabinets are back in place. Call us anytime at 708-734-5878.
Complete Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink and Faucet Installation
We work with all sink styles: undermount (which requires coordinating with your countertop fabricator), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation covers drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and supply connections. We use high-quality braided stainless steel supply lines—no brittle plastic tubing here. If needed, we also install and connect garbage disposals during the same visit.
For faucets, we fit all configurations, whether single-hole, three-hole, or deck plate mounts, and pressure test to ensure leak-free performance. Moving your sink to a new spot involves rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines—our licensed team handles all aspects including permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwasher water supplies, route drain hoses with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and verify the unit’s electrical setup with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or stainless steel piping and install accessible shutoff valves behind the fridge.
We also fit instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units, installing dedicated faucets and connecting supply and waste lines. Reach out to us at 708-734-5878 for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Whether you’re upgrading to a gas range or adding a cooktop in a new island, we handle all gas line work. We size piping to match your appliance’s BTU requirements, run lines from the gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with code-approved flexible connectors, perform pressure tests, and manage permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for more details.
If you’re adding a gas line to an island or relocating appliances, it’s important this is completed before cabinets go in—cutting into cabinetry later to run gas lines is a real hassle. Coordinate this with your general contractor and us early in your remodel.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet is mounted on the wall above your stove so you can fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. Installing one requires running a cold water line in the wall roughly 56 to 60 inches off the floor, near the range. This is easiest during remodeling when walls are open but we can install one in finished kitchens by carefully opening and patching the wall. Call us at 708-734-5878 to explore options for your kitchen.
Island Sink and Drain Venting
Island sinks present a special plumbing challenge because their drains can't vent using the typical wall vent stacks. Instead, we install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drain and vent pipes beneath the subfloor and back up through the island cabinet takes careful planning. We’ve handled plenty of island sink installations and can help you plan yours before finalizing your kitchen layout.

- Final sink location before demo: Moving the sink is one of the priciest plumbing changes — confirm placement before ordering cabinets
- Gas line rough-in before cabinets: New gas piping for islands or relocated ranges must be completed ahead of cabinetry installation
- Pot filler before backsplash: Easier to open walls and run lines before tile goes up
- Replace old valves while accessible: Old gate valves often leak — swap them out for reliable ball valves while plumbing is exposed
- Install fridge water line before counters: Easier to run water lines before countertops are installed
Common Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Definitely. Moving a sink to an island is one of the more complicated plumbing jobs because island sinks require special venting—usually an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drains and vents through the floor demands careful planning. We’ve done this many times. Call us at 708-734-5878 to talk over your island set-up before you finalize your plans.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same spots (like faucets or disposals), permits typically aren’t required. But any work involving drain rerouting, new supply line rough-ins, gas lines, or layout changes will require permits. We take care of submitting for permits and scheduling inspections as part of our service.
Yes, and it’s best done during remodeling while walls are open. We install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens properly sized and pressure tested, and we handle all permit requirements. Make sure to schedule gas line rough-ins before the cabinets go in to keep your project smooth.
