Kitchen Plumbing Renovation Services in Lake Zurich, IL
Updating kitchen plumbing can be a quick fix like swapping out a faucet or hooking up a disposal, but it can also involve full-scale rough-ins—moving sinks to islands, installing new gas lines for ranges, or adding features like prep sinks and pot fillers. What’s involved impacts your timeline, budget, and whether permits are necessary, and we manage all those details for you.
Call us at 224-262-3400 early in your project. I always recommend scheduling plumbing work before cabinets arrive. If you’re relocating a sink, that’s easiest when the subfloor is open since drain lines need rerouting. New gas lines for ranges or cooktops have to be roughed in ahead of cabinetry too. Pot fillers mean opening walls, so doing that before backsplash tile goes in saves a headache. Getting plumbing done on the right schedule is key for a smooth renovation.
We also handle stand-alone kitchen plumbing repairs like faucet installation, disposal service, dishwasher hookups, or running refrigerator water lines—even if you’re not remodeling. Plus, remodeling is a good opportunity to check your water heater’s capacity and clear slow kitchen drains, especially in Lake Zurich’s older homes. Call 224-262-3400 anytime for kitchen plumbing help.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services Include
Sink & Faucet Installation
We work with all types of kitchen sinks—undermount requiring precise countertop cuts, drop-in, apron-front farmhouse, single and double bowls, plus prep sinks. Installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and water supply lines. We use braided stainless steel lines for durability instead of brittle plastic. If you're adding a disposal, we connect and test it during the same visit.
We install faucets in all setups — whether 1-hole, 3-hole, or with a deck plate. Before finishing, we pressure test all connections. Moving sinks to different spots involves drain and vent rerouting, which we handle with the proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Hooking up your dishwasher means connecting hot water and routing the drain line with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We’ll also confirm the electrical setup is compatible, coordinating with your electrician if needed. For refrigerators with ice makers and water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves conveniently placed behind the unit.
We also connect instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, installing dedicated faucets and handling supply and waste lines. Call 224-262-3400 for any of these appliance connections.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Whether you’re switching from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop to an island, we run gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU rating. We route the line from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, and connect the appliance with approved flexible connectors. After installation, we pressure test the system and manage the permits and inspections required for safe operation.
Keep in mind, if your gas line runs to a new island or relocated appliance, the work must be done before cabinets go in. Trying to snake a gas line in after cabinetry is installed is much tougher and messier. Plan early with your contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet above your stove lets you fill pots easily without carrying heavy water containers across the kitchen. Installing one means running a cold water supply line behind the wall, roughly 56–60 inches off the floor and slightly offset from the stove center. It’s far simpler during a remodel when walls are open, but we can carefully retrofit pot fillers in finished kitchens too with minimal disturbance. Give us a call to explore your options.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Solutions
Plumbing an island sink requires special venting since it can’t tie into a wall vent stack standardly. Options include installing an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water supply is straightforward, yet routing drains and vents beneath the subfloor to the island demands precision planning. We handle island sink installs regularly, so reach out before finalizing your layout.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving sinks adds cost; decide early before cabinet orders.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas piping for islands or new ranges must be done first.
- Install pot fillers prior to backsplash tiling: Opening walls is simpler before tile installation.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with ball valves when plumbing is exposed.
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines before counters go in.
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
We sure can. Island sinks are unique because they need specific venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve since the drain can’t vent through a wall stack. Running hot and cold water is straightforward, but vent and drain routing under the floor must be planned carefully. We install island plumbing often—call 224-262-3400 so we can review your island plans before you commit.
For simple replacements such as faucets, disposals, or dishwasher hook-ups in the same spot, permits typically aren’t required.
