Professional Kitchen Plumbing Remodels in Westmont, IL
Kitchen plumbing jobs can be quick, like swapping out a faucet or hooking up a new disposal and dishwasher, or they can stretch over multiple days when relocating a sink, installing gas lines for a new range, or adding specialty fixtures like prep sinks and pot fillers. What’s involved dictates the schedule, price, and whether permits are necessary. Whatever your project, we’ve got it covered.
Here’s my tip when you call us at 630-557-8896: bring your plumber into the project before the cabinets go in. If the sink moves, the drain reroute is easiest while the subfloor is accessible. Gas line installation for an island cooktop or range needs to happen before cabinetry. Pot filler faucet setups require opening the wall behind the stove, so that’s best done before backsplash tile goes up. Locking in your plumber’s schedule early helps avoid unexpected delays in your Westmont kitchen remodel.
Besides remodels, we handle individual kitchen plumbing calls — whether it’s replacing a faucet, fixing or installing a garbage disposal, hooking up a dishwasher, or installing a refrigerator water line. Remodeling also provides a good opportunity to check your water heater’s capacity for new appliances and clear out sluggish kitchen drains before everything gets covered up again. Just give us a call at 630-557-8896 and we’ll take care of it.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all styles of kitchen sinks, from undermount (working closely with your countertop fabricator) to farmhouse, drop-in, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our sink installs include assembling drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and hooking up hot and cold supply lines with durable braided stainless steel tubing instead of prone-to-failure plastic. When needed, we also install garbage disposals during the same visit.
For faucets, we handle every mounting style — single-hole, three-hole, or deck-plate configurations — and pressure-test everything to ensure no leaks. If you’re moving the sink to a new location, that involves rerouting the drain pipe, adjusting the vent stack, and extending water lines, all with proper permits and inspections. We manage the entire process from start to finish.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Dishwasher installations include connecting the hot water supply and routing the drain with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow contamination. We check the electrical requirements too, coordinating with your electrician if needed. For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we run a properly supported cold water line with a shutoff valve positioned behind the refrigerator for easy access.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including drilling in dedicated faucets and connecting supply and drain lines. If you need any appliance connected in your kitchen, just call 630-557-8896.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Whether you’re switching from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop in an island, we install gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU rating. We run the line from your gas meter or existing supply, install a shut-off valve, connect the appliance with code-approved flexible connectors, perform pressure testing, and handle all necessary permits and inspections. For more details, check our gas line services page.
Keep in mind: running new gas lines must happen before cabinets are installed, especially for islands. Trying to add gas lines after cabinetry is in place can cause a lot of damage and increase costs substantially. Coordinate this early with your general contractor and our team.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted just above your stove lets you fill large pots without lugging them from the sink. This requires running a cold water supply line behind the wall at about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and just a few inches offset from the stove center. This is best done during a remodel while the wall is open, but we can install pot fillers in finished kitchens with a bit of wall repair afterward. Give us a call at 630-557-8896 to discuss options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Setup
Installing a sink in a kitchen island brings plumbing challenges because drain venting can’t tie into a wall vent the usual way. Island sinks require either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is typically straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor and back up inside the island cabinet requires meticulous planning. We’ve installed many island sinks and can guide you through the process so your layout works smoothly.

- Confirm sink location before demolition: Sink moves are the most complex and costly changes, so finalize placement before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinetry: New gas lines for islands or ranges must be installed first
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Wall opening is much easier before tile goes up
- Upgrade shutoff valves while pipes are exposed: Replace old gate valves with ball valves for better reliability
- Run refrigerator water lines prior to counters: Easier to install ice maker lines before countertops are set
Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, you can move the sink to an island, but it’s one of the trickiest plumbing tasks in the kitchen because you need special venting — either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running the water supply is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor requires careful planning. We’ve done many island sink installs, so call 630-557-8896 and we’ll help you figure out the best setup before you finalize the layout.
If you’re replacing fixtures in the same location, like swapping a faucet or disposal, generally no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, working on gas lines, or changing the kitchen’s layout, permits are required. We handle all permitting and coordinate inspections as part of our service.
Yes, we install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens. Ideally, this work happens during a remodel when walls are open. We properly size the line, perform pressure tests, pull permits, and ensure inspections are completed. Schedule the gas line rough-in before cabinetry is installed to keep the project on track.
