Reliable Kitchen Plumbing Services in Tonica, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap and disposal hookup or a full kitchen plumbing setup—moving sinks, adding gas lines, or prepping for a pot filler—we cover it all. Each project varies in complexity and pricing based on what’s involved and whether permits come into play. We take care of every detail so you don’t have to worry.
Here's a pro tip: get plumbing done before cabinets are installed. If you're relocating the sink, the drain and supply lines should be addressed while the floor and walls are still accessible. Installing a gas line for a new stove or island cooktop must be done before cabinetry goes in. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind your range, which is far easier before tiling or backsplash installation. Scheduling plumbing early keeps your kitchen remodel on track.
Not remodeling? We also handle faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines in existing kitchens. Remodeling time is also perfect to inspect your water heater’s capacity and fix sluggish drains. Give us a call at 708-734-6995 anytime.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We work with undermount, farmhouse, drop-in, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and secure shutoff valves. We use braided stainless steel lines for supply to avoid leaks that older plastic lines often cause. Need a new garbage disposal? We install and connect those too, often in the same visit.
Faucets come in many configurations—1-hole, 3-hole, or with a deck plate—we handle mounting and pressure testing for leaks. Relocating your sink involves rerouting drain and vent lines and extending water supplies. We manage permits and inspections to make sure it’s done right.
Appliance Water Connections
Dishwasher installation means connecting a hot water line, proper drain hose setup with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking that your electrical outlet is suitable (we coordinate with electricians). For refrigerators, we run dedicated water lines for ice makers and dispensers, installing shutoff valves in easy-to-reach spots.
We also install under-sink water filtration and reverse osmosis systems with faucets mounted on your sink or countertop. We can chat about maintenance needs and ensure your water tastes great. Reach out at 708-734-6995 for any appliance hookup.
Gas Lines for Kitchens
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop on an island? We size and install gas lines according to your stove’s BTU rating, run pipe from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, and use flexible connectors approved by code. We pressure test everything and handle permits with local inspectors to keep your home safe.
Important: gas line installation needs to happen before cabinets go in, especially for island setups. Retrofitting gas lines later is a hassle and may require opening cabinetry. Plan with your contractor and plumber early to avoid delays.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are handy faucets mounted on the wall above your stove to fill pots directly, avoiding heavy lifting. They need a cold water supply line run inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and just off the range center. Installation is straightforward during remodels, but adding one in a finished kitchen means cutting into the wall and patching up afterward. Call us at 708-734-6995 to figure out the best approach for your kitchen.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is trickier because you can’t vent the drain through a wall like normal. Depending on local codes, we use either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to handle venting properly. Running supply lines is simple enough, but routing the drain and vent through the floor requires careful planning. We’ve done plenty of these challenging installations, so call to talk about your island plans before finalizing them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but this is one of the trickiest plumbing jobs. Island sinks need special venting, like an island loop vent or an AAV, since you can't tie into a wall vent stack. Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drain requires careful planning through the floor. We do these installations regularly—just call us at 708-734-6995 before finalizing your layout.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot, permits usually aren’t needed. But any work involving drain rerouting, new supply lines, gas line installation, or changing the plumbing layout definitely requires permits. We handle the entire permit process and coordinate inspections to keep everything above board.
Yes, and it’s best done while walls are open during the remodel. We install and pressure test gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens with all the necessary permits. Make sure to schedule this rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid headaches later.
We often serve as the plumbing subcontractor for kitchen remodels. We coordinate our work schedule with your general contractor’s timeline and handle permit applications and inspections. Call us early at 708-734-6995 to integrate plumbing into your project smoothly.
