Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services in Palatine, IL
Whether it’s a quick faucet swap, hooking up a new disposal, or a major kitchen plumbing overhaul involving moving sinks, installing gas lines, or adding pot fillers, we cover it all. Your project’s scale will affect timing, cost, and if permits are needed — we guide you through every step.
My recommendation: loop us in before your cabinets go in. For example, if you’re relocating the sink, the drain and supply lines need to be accessible under the subfloor. Gas line runs for a new range should happen before cabinetry is installed. Pot filler installs require opening walls behind the stove, best done before backsplash tile. Early plumbing scheduling avoids costly delays especially here in Palatine, where older homes sometimes hide unexpected issues.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing jobs outside of remodels — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs. This is also a great time to check your water heater capacity and clear out any slow drains before putting everything back. Give us a call at 224-524-1319 for any kitchen plumbing help.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install every type of kitchen sink you might have—undermount (we’ll coordinate the countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. We handle the drain components like strainers, P-traps, and connect hot and cold water with durable braided stainless steel lines, not cheap plastic. When installing disposals, we take care of the wiring and plumbing in the same visit.
For faucets, we fit any style and configuration, whether single-hole or multiple holes with a deck plate. Before calling the job done, we pressure-test for leaks. Moving a sink to a new location? That involves rerouting drains and vents too, and we manage the permits and inspections required for that work.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwasher water and drain lines with proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. We’ll also check if your electrical setup is ready, coordinating with your electrician if needed. For ice makers and refrigerator water lines, we install a dedicated supply line—either copper or stainless braided—secured properly with accessible shutoff valves behind the appliance.
Beyond that, we install instant hot water dispensers and under-sink filtration systems or RO units. We cut the faucet hole for RO systems, connect supply and waste lines, and provide maintenance advice. Call us anytime at 224-524-1319 for appliance plumbing in your kitchen.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas cooking or adding a gas cooktop? We install gas lines sized for your appliances’ BTU requirements, run lines from your meter or existing piping, install shutoff valves, and connect appliances with code-approved flexible connectors. After installation, we conduct pressure tests and handle permits and inspections to keep everything safe and legal.
Important tip: if your gas line is going to an island or new location, get this installed before cabinets go in. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry is a major hassle. Plan early with your GC and us to avoid headaches.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers make cooking easier by placing a faucet right over your stove for filling pots. We run a cold water supply inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor, roughly 4 inches off the range center. It’s simplest during a remodel with open walls, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens, though it requires some wall repairs afterward. Reach out to discuss your setup at 224-524-1319.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink on an island is trickier than a regular sink because you can’t vent drains through a wall stack. Instead, we use an island loop vent or air admittance valve depending on local code and your home’s layout. Supply lines are run from the nearest connection point, but venting and drain runs through flooring require careful planning and experience. We’ve done plenty of island installs here in Palatine’s older and newer homes — give us a call to plan yours right.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, moving the sink to an island is doable but more complicated. Island sinks need special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Running water supply is straightforward, but the drain routing requires extra work. We handle these jobs regularly—call us at 224-524-1319 before finalizing your layout to plan accordingly.
Simple fixture replacements like faucets, disposals, and dishwasher hookups generally don’t need permits. But if you’re rerouting drains, doing new supply line rough-ins, adding gas lines, or changing the kitchen layout, permits are typically required. We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Definitely. Installing a gas line during a remodel is ideal since walls are open. We do everything from sizing the line, running pipe, installing shutoff valves, pressure testing, to securing permits. Schedule your gas rough-in ahead of cabinetry installation to avoid costly retrofits.
We frequently work alongside contractors and designers as the plumbing subcontractor. We sync our schedule with your general contractor for rough-ins and fixture installs, and take care of permit coordination. Calling us early helps keep your remodel on track. Reach out at 224-524-1319.
