Complete Kitchen Plumbing Services in Tinley Park, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap, garbage disposal hookup, or a full kitchen retrofit—like moving your sink to an island, adding a gas line, or installing a pot filler—we handle the job. The size and complexity of your project influence how long it takes and what permits are necessary. No matter the scale, our crew is ready to get it done right.
Here’s a tip from me: get a plumber involved early, ideally before your cabinets are installed. If the sink is relocating, it’s critical to reroute drains while the flooring is accessible. Gas line installation for a new cooktop or range must happen before countertop installation. Pot fillers need wall access, so they’re easier to install before tiling the backsplash. Scheduling plumbing work early can save headaches later and keep your remodel on track.
Besides remodels, we also service kitchen plumbing issues on their own— faucet repairs, disposal replacements, dishwasher line hookups, or refrigerator water lines. Remodeling is also a good time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear any slow drains before putting cabinetry back. For any kitchen plumbing needs, call us anytime at 708-726-9466.
What Kitchen Plumbing Work We Handle
Sink & Faucet Installations
We handle all types of kitchen sinks including undermount (which requires precise countertop coordination), farmhouse/apron-front, drop-in, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation covers everything from the drain basket, strainer, and P-trap to the hot and cold braided stainless steel supply lines—not the brittle plastic lines that fail over time. If you need a garbage disposal installed while we’re there, we’ll take care of that too.
For faucets, we take care of every mounting style — whether a single-hole, three-hole with deck plate, or more complex setups. We test everything under pressure and make sure there are no leaks. Moving your sink to a new spot involves drain rerouting, vent pipe adjustments, and supply line extensions, all handled with the proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Kitchen Appliance Connections
We connect dishwashers by hooking up the hot water supply and routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow contamination. Though electrical work is done by electricians, we coordinate to ensure everything lines up. For refrigerator ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated water lines with accessible shutoff valves behind the fridge.
In addition, we install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems. With RO setups, we install dedicated faucets, connect supply and waste lines, and provide guidance on filter changes. Call us at 708-726-9466 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Cooking Appliances
If you’re switching from electric to gas or adding a cooktop on an island, we take care of the entire gas line installation. That means sizing the pipe to handle the appliance BTU rating, running the line from your gas meter, installing shutoff valves, connecting with approved flexible fittings, pressure testing the system, and managing permits and inspections. For full details, visit our gas line services page.
Important: gas lines to new island locations must be installed before cabinets go in. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry is installed is tricky and disruptive. Plan with your general contractor and us early for best results.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet makes filling large pots at the stove a breeze. We run a dedicated cold water line inside the wall behind your range, about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and set roughly 4 inches from the stove centerline. It’s straightforward to install during a remodel with open walls; retrofitting into finished kitchens requires opening the wall and patching afterward. Reach out at 708-726-9466 and we’ll walk you through it.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks present unique plumbing challenges because they can't vent through a typical wall vent. Instead, the code requires an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local regulations. We run hot and cold water supply lines to the island, then handle the drain and vent piping through the floor and subfloor. If you’re planning an island sink, talk to us early so we can help design the proper drainage and venting system for your remodel.

Tips for Timing Your Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving a sink is the largest plumbing expense — finalize its placement before ordering cabinets.
- Install gas lines before cabinetry: If you have a gas cooktop or range in a new spot, get the gas piping done before cabinets go in.
- Pot filler installation timing: Wall access is easiest before backsplash tile goes up.
- Replace shutoff valves while plumbing’s open: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during remodels to avoid future leaks.
- Run fridge water lines early: Ice maker lines are easier to install before countertops are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, though it’s one of the more involved plumbing changes because island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve.
