Reliable Kitchen Plumbing Services in Braidwood, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be quick and simple, like swapping out a faucet or hooking up a new disposal. Or it might be a more extensive project, such as relocating the sink to an island, installing a new gas line for your range, running water lines for a prep sink, or setting up a pot filler faucet. The complexity affects the price, how long it takes, and if permits are necessary. Whatever your project entails, we’re ready to get it done right.
When planning your remodel, here’s a key tip: get the plumber scheduled before cabinets arrive. Moving the sink means drains and supply lines must be rerouted while the subfloor is accessible. Adding a gas line for your new stove or island cooktop needs to be roughed in ahead of cabinetry installation. Pot filler faucets require wall access behind the stove — much simpler before tile or backsplash goes in. Having us on-site early prevents costly delays.
If you don’t have a full remodel but need kitchen plumbing help—like a faucet replacement, disposal repair or installation, dishwasher hookup, or fridge water line service—we do that too. Remodeling time is also a great moment to check your water heater capacity and clear out any slow drains. Give us a call at 815-458-5465 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Setup
We fit every kitchen sink style you can imagine: undermount (coordinated with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse style, prep sinks, single or double basins. Installation includes connecting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and hot and cold water lines with braided stainless steel for durability—no brittle plastic here. We also handle garbage disposal installation alongside your sink setup when needed.
Faucet installation covers all mounting types—single hole, three-hole, or deck-mounted—and we make sure everything holds tight with no leaks. If you want to move your sink, that’s a bigger job requiring drain and vent pipe changes plus water line extensions, which we manage with all required permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect your dishwasher's hot water supply and make sure the drain hose has a proper high loop or air gap to prevent contamination. Plus, we check that the electrical hookup is ready (though an electrician does that part). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line—copper or braided stainless—secured and with an accessible shutoff valve behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO systems, we mount the faucet through the sink deck and hook up the supply and drain lines. Got an appliance hookup to arrange? Contact us at 815-458-5465.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking about switching from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop to an island? We’ll size and run the gas line from your meter or existing pipe, install shutoff valves, connect with approved flexible fittings, and pressure-test everything for safety. Permits and inspections? We handle those too. Learn more about gas line work on our gas line services page.
One heads-up: gas lines for new island cooktops or stove locations must be roughed in before cabinets go up. Trying to route gas lines after cabinetry is difficult and costly. It’s best to plan ahead with your builder and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler is a convenient faucet above your stove that lets you fill pots without carrying them across the kitchen. Installing one means running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and offset slightly from the stove center. During remodeling, this is a simple install. In completed kitchens, it’s still doable but requires opening and patching the wall. Call 815-458-5465 to cover the details for your kitchen.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Installation
Island sinks need special drainage solutions because their waste pipes can’t tie into a wall vent like typical sinks. We install an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes, to keep drains flowing properly. Running hot and cold water lines to the island is straightforward; the drain and vent lines run beneath the floor and back up inside the island cabinet. We’ve done many island sinks and can help you plan the best setup before finalizing your kitchen design.

Tips on Scheduling Kitchen Plumbing
- Decide sink location before demolition: Moving sinks is costly; lock your layout before ordering cabinets.
- Run gas lines before cabinets: Gas line rough-ins must happen pre-cabinet installation for ease and safety.
- Pot filler before backsplash: Wall access is much simpler before tile or backsplash work.
- Replace shutoff valves while accessible: Old gate valves tend to fail; swapping them for ball valves during remodel saves trouble later.
- Install fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to run lines before solid surfaces are set in place.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Yes, but it’s a bigger plumbing job since island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or AAV to prevent drain issues. Running water supply lines is easier, but the drain and vent pipes need careful routing beneath the floor. We’ve done lots of island sink installs—give us a call at 815-458-5465 to go over your island design before finalizing your plans.
For simple fixture swaps like faucets, disposals, or dishwasher hookups in the same spot, usually no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the plumbing layout, permits are required. We handle all the paperwork and inspections so you don’t have to worry about it.
Yes. Installing a gas line is safest and easiest during remodeling when walls are open. We size the line according to your appliance’s BTU rating, run it properly, install shutoff valves, test for leaks, and manage permits. Schedule this early in the project so it’s done before cabinets go in. See our gas line services page for details.
Definitely. We partner with general contractors and designers to fit plumbing schedules into the remodel timeline. We coordinate rough-ins, finish plumbing, permits, and inspections so your project runs smoothly. Call 815-458-5465 early to get us involved.
