Kitchen Plumbing Remodeling Services in Wasco, IL
Whether you're just replacing a faucet and hooking up a new disposal or completely rewiring plumbing for a kitchen overhaul that moves sinks and runs new gas lines, we have the skills to get it done right. The complexity influences cost, timing, and permits. No matter the job size, our crew is ready to help.
Here's a tip from me: get a plumber involved early—before cabinetry is installed. If the sink is changing spots, drain and vent pipes must be rerouted while you still have full access under the floor. Gas line installation for stoves or cooktops needs to happen before cabinets and countertops go in. Installing a pot filler requires wall access behind the range, so plan that ahead of backsplash installation. Early scheduling keeps your project on track, especially through Illinois' unpredictable seasons.
We also serve homeowners who need plumbing repairs or upgrades outside of a remodel: faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher connections, or refrigerator water line installs. Remodeling is a great time to ensure your water heater can handle increased demand or clear slow drains before cabinet reassembly. Reach out at 630-576-1544 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all sink varieties: undermount (which requires precise countertop cutting), farmhouse, drop-in, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes hooking up the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and braided stainless steel water lines—not the old plastic tubing that tends to crack. If you’re adding a garbage disposal, we tie that in during the same visit.
For faucets, we manage all mounting types—single hole, three-hole, or deck plate—and test water pressure and leak integrity before wrapping up. Relocating a sink to a new area calls for rerouting drains, adjusting venting, and extending water lines, which we handle with permits and inspections as required.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers by running the hot water supply, properly routing the drain line with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and making sure your electrical connections are safe and compliant (coordination with your electrician is recommended). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated lines with shutoff valves behind the unit for easy access.
We can also install on-demand hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis setups, including faucet installations and maintenance advice on filter replacements. Call us at 630-576-1544 to get your kitchen appliances plumbed right.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading to a gas range or adding a gas cooktop in an island? We install gas lines sized to your appliances’ BTU requirements, running piping from your gas meter or existing supply. We install shutoff valves, connect with code-approved flexible connectors, perform pressure tests, and obtain all necessary permits and inspections. Visit our gas line services page for full details.
Important: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinets go in. Routing gas lines afterward is tough and disruptive. Plan this early alongside your general contractor and us to avoid headaches.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler mounted on the wall above your stove gives you a convenient water source for filling pots without lugging them across the kitchen. It requires a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor, typically offset about 4 inches from the stove center. It's easiest to install during a remodel when walls are open, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with care to minimize damage.
Give us a call at 630-576-1544 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Installing a sink on a kitchen island comes with unique challenges. Unlike wall sinks, island drains can’t tie into a standard vent stack the same way. We use island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs), depending on local codes, to ensure proper venting. While running supply lines is straightforward, routing the drain and vent pipes beneath the floor requires precision and experience. We’re familiar with the local code requirements here in Wasco and handle island sink plumbing regularly. Contact us before finalizing your island plans.

Tips for Scheduling Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving a sink is the biggest plumbing change. Lock down placement before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas piping must be installed prior to cabinetry to avoid major work later.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: It’s much simpler to open walls before tiles are up.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Replace old gate valves with reliable ball valves during remodel.
- Run refrigerator water lines ahead of countertops: Easier to route before counters are installed.
Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing Remodels
Yes, but it’s a more involved task. Island sinks need special venting since you can’t tie into a wall vent stack normally. We use either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve depending on local regulations. Running supply lines is straightforward, but drain and vent routing under the floor requires care. We do island sink installations regularly—call 630-576-1544 before you finalize your layout.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in place—like replacing a faucet or garbage disposal—permits usually aren’t required. But any work involving rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, gas piping, or changing the plumbing layout does require permits. We take care of all permitting and inspections as part of our service.
Yes. Gas line installation is best done while walls and floors are open during remodels. We size the lines correctly, install shutoff valves, pressure test, and handle permits. Scheduling this before cabinetry goes in keeps things running smoothly. See our gas line services page for details.
Absolutely. We often work as plumbing subcontractors on kitchen remodels. We align our schedules with your general contractor and make sure permits are handled smoothly. Contact us early at 630-576-1544 so we can fit into your project timeline.
