Expert Kitchen Plumbing in Medinah, IL
Our kitchen plumbing work covers everything from quick faucet swaps and garbage disposal hookups to complete rough-ins that move sinks, add gas lines, install prep sinks, or set up pot fillers. The complexity of your project affects both how long it takes and what permits may be necessary. No matter the job, our team gets it done right.
Here’s a tip I always share when homeowners call: schedule your plumber early in the process. Before your cabinets arrive is ideal, especially if you’re relocating the sink. That way, we can access the subfloor to reroute drain lines properly. Gas lines for new stoves or cooktops also need to be roughed in before cabinets go in. Pot fillers require opening up the wall behind your range, so the earlier the better to reduce patching and tile work. Early scheduling avoids delays, especially with Illinois weather possibly slowing exterior work.
We also handle single-service kitchen plumbing calls — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installations. Kitchen remodels are a perfect time to verify your water heater can keep up with new fixtures and to clear slow drains before new cabinets block access. Reach out anytime at 708-729-6837.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We work with all sink styles—undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Installation includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting hot and cold supplies with braided stainless steel lines for long-lasting reliability, not old plastic tubing. We also install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit when requested.
For faucets, we handle all mounting types—single hole, three-hole, or with deck plates—and perform pressure tests to ensure no leaks before we finish. If you want to move your sink to a new spot, we’ll reroute drain lines and vents accordingly, obtaining all necessary permits and inspection approvals.
Dishwasher & Appliance Connections
We connect dishwashers by attaching hot water supply and routing drain hoses correctly with air gaps or high loops to prevent backflow contamination. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or stainless braid, properly secured and fitted with shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we place a dedicated faucet on your sink deck, connect supply and drain lines, and provide guidance on filter replacement. Call us at 708-729-6837 for any appliance hookup.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Installing a gas line for your range, cooktop, or oven? We size the piping to fit your appliance’s BTU needs, run the line from the gas meter or existing line, add a shutoff valve, connect with code-approved flexible fittings, pressure test the whole system, and manage permits and inspections. Our gas line services page explains our safety-first process.
One note: if adding gas lines to an island or new location, this must be done before cabinets go in; retrofitting after cabinetry is a major hassle and mess. Coordinate this early with your contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers mount on the wall above your stove, letting you fill pots without lugging them across the kitchen. Installing one requires a cold water line inside the wall about 56–60 inches above the floor and near the stove. This is straightforward during remodels when walls are open. For finished kitchens, we carefully open the wall, install the line and faucet, then patch and repaint or retile the area. Give us a call at 708-729-6837 to discuss your kitchen setup.
Island Sink & Drain Solutions
Plumbing an island sink comes with unique challenges because traditional venting must be modified. Island sinks need either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to keep drains flowing correctly; local codes dictate requirements. Running hot and cold water supply is simple, but routing the drain and vent lines through the floor takes precise work. We do island sink installs often and can advise on the best approach before you finalize your kitchen design.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing moves since island sinks need special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drain and vent lines through the floor requires careful planning. We do this often; call 708-729-6837 so we can help design the best setup for your island before you finalize plans.
For simple replacements in the same location, like swapping faucets or disposals, permits usually aren’t required. But if you’re rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, adding or relocating gas lines, or changing your kitchen layout, permits are mandatory. We take care of all permitting and inspection coordination as part of our service.
