Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Bellwood, IL
Whether you’re just swapping out a faucet or taking on a complete kitchen redo, our plumbing services cover everything. That might mean quickly installing a new disposal or dishwasher, or a larger job like moving your sink to an island, running new gas lines for your stove, or adding a pot filler faucet. The complexity and cost depend on the work involved and local code requirements. No matter the project, we’ve got it covered.
My recommendation: call us early—before your cabinets arrive. If the sink location changes, we want access to the subfloor to reroute drains. Gas line installs for new ranges or islands need to be done before cabinetry goes in. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind the cooktop, which is far easier pre-backsplash. Scheduling your plumber early helps keep everything on track, especially with Illinois weather potentially causing delays.
We also handle kitchen plumbing repairs outside of remodeling: faucet replacements, garbage disposal service, dishwasher hookups, and ice maker water lines. It’s also a good time to check that your water heater can keep up with your appliances’ demand or clear any slow drains before finishing the kitchen. Give us a call at 708-401-9465 whenever you need help.
What We Offer for Kitchen Plumbing Projects
Sinks & Faucet Installation
We install all sink types whether it’s undermount, drop-in, farmhouse apron front, or prep sinks. Our work includes fitting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting supply lines with braided stainless steel for durability—not the brittle plastic lines that often fail. We also handle installing garbage disposals during the same visit when needed.
Faucets come in many mounting styles—1-hole, 3-hole, or deck plate—and we’ll make sure everything is sealed and pressure tested before we wrap up. If you’re moving the sink to another spot, that involves rerouting drains and vents, plus extending supply lines. We take care of permits and inspections for that kind of work too.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Dishwasher installations include connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain hose properly with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking the electrical setup (we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with proper shutoff valves behind the fridge.
We also set up instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we handle faucet installation, hook up supply and drain lines, and walk you through filter maintenance. Call us any time for your kitchen appliance connections.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
If you’re switching from electric to gas or putting a cooktop on an island, we install the gas line sized right for your appliance’s BTU rating. We run pipe from your meter or existing supply, install a shutoff valve, connect the appliance with flexible, code-approved tubing, pressure test everything, and handle permits and inspections.
Important: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinets go in since routing after is difficult and invasive. Coordinate your schedule with us and your general contractor early to keep things running smoothly.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above the stove makes filling pots easy without lugging heavy water from the sink. Installation requires running a cold water line inside the wall behind your cooktop about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and offset slightly from center. It’s straightforward when walls are open during remodeling but can also be done in finished kitchens with some patching and touch-up work.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Setup
Plumbing an island sink is trickier since you can’t vent the drain like you do on a wall. It requires either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water supply is fairly simple, but drain and vent routing through the floor needs careful workmanship to avoid future issues. We install island sinks regularly — call us to plan your layout before finalizing your design.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Finalize sink location before demo: Moving the sink is one of the costliest plumbing changes—lock in placement before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas rough-in early: Gas lines for islands or new stove spots must be installed before cabinetry
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Opening walls after tile is installed is a hassle
- Upgrade shutoff valves when pipes are accessible: Replace old gate valves with reliable ball valves while plumbing is exposed
- Run fridge water line ahead of countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines before countertops go in
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, though it’s one of the trickier plumbing jobs because island sinks need special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running supply lines is usually straightforward, but routing the drain properly through the floor needs careful design. We do this work regularly. Give us a call at 708-401-9465 to discuss your island’s setup before you finalize plans.
For simple replacements like faucets or disposals in the same spot, usually no permit is needed. But any changes involving rerouting drain lines, new supply pipes, gas line work, or moving fixtures definitely require permits. We handle all permitting and inspections for projects that need them so you don’t have to worry.
Yes, and it’s best done while walls are open during remodeling. We install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens—sized properly, pressure-tested, and fully permitted. Make sure to schedule this before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
