Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in Wonder Lake, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be a quick fix—like swapping out faucets or hooking up a disposal—or a more involved process that includes relocating sinks, adding gas lines for new cooking appliances, installing extra prep sinks, or roughing in pot filler faucets. The job size affects pricing, timing, and permit needs. We’re ready to take on any size project.
My recommendation: get us involved early at 779-444-6780. Before cabinets are set, it’s easier and more cost-effective to reroute drains, install gas lines, and prep for pot fillers. If you’re moving the sink’s position, plumbing work has to be done while subfloors are accessible. Pot filler installations are far less disruptive before backsplash tile goes in. Scheduling your plumber before other trades saves headaches down the line.
We also provide kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades independent of remodels—faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water line installs. And since many Wonder Lake homes face Illinois winters, it’s smart to test your water heater’s capacity ahead of increased demand during a remodel and tackle slow drain issues before cabinets hide them. Reach out anytime at 779-444-6780.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all styles of kitchen sinks—undermount sinks that require coordination with your countertop fabricator, drop-in sinks, farmhouse aprons, and multi-compartment basins. Our installation includes fittings like drain baskets, strainers, and P-traps. We use braided stainless steel supply lines because they last longer and resist damage compared to old-fashioned ribbed plastic lines. When applicable, we also install garbage disposals during this service.
As for faucets, we handle everything from single-hole to three-hole or deck-plate setups, testing every connection to ensure a leak-free finish. Moving the sink to a new spot is more complex, involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extensions—permits included. We tackle all of that.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections require hooking up hot water, routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and ensuring the electrical wiring is adequate (we coordinate with electricians on that). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line using copper or braided stainless tubing, complete with a shutoff valve accessible behind the fridge.
We install under-sink water filtration units, instant hot water dispensers, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO systems, we drill the faucet hole, connect supply and waste lines, and explain how to maintain filters. Call 779-444-6780 for reliable appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation
Planning to switch from electric to gas, or adding a gas cooktop to your island? We install gas lines sized to match your appliance BTU ratings, run piping from the nearest supply, install shutoff valves, and connect appliances with approved flexible connectors. We thoroughly pressure-test the system and handle all permits and inspections to keep you safe. Check our gas line services for details.
Important: gas line rough-ins for new islands or locations must happen before cabinets go in, as working around finished cabinetry can be a major hassle. Plan this with your builder and us early.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove lets you fill pots right on the cooktop without hauling heavy water across the room. We run a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56–60 inches from the floor and 4 inches off-center from your range. It’s straightforward during a remodel with open walls, but can also be done in finished spaces with some minor wall work. Give us a call at 779-444-6780 to review what’s possible in your kitchen.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks are a plumbing puzzle because the drain can’t vent through a wall stack like a normal sink. The solution is either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Supply lines are simple enough, but routing drains and vents through the floor to reach the island requires precise planning and execution. We’ve installed many island sinks and can help you get it right from the start — call us before finalizing your plans.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, moving a sink to an island is possible but more complicated because the drain venting needs special attention—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, depending on local codes. Supplying water is simpler, but routing the drain through the floor requires proper planning. We do this work regularly. Call 779-444-6780 to talk through your island setup before finalizing your design.
If you're just replacing faucets, disposals, or hooking up a dishwasher in the same spot, permits usually aren’t needed. But if you’re moving drains, running new supply lines, installing gas lines, or changing the layout, permits are required. We handle all permitting and inspections to keep everything up to code.
Definitely. Gas line installation is best done during a remodel when walls and floors are open. We size the line correctly, install shut-off valves, pressure test everything, and secure the necessary permits. It’s important to schedule this before cabinets get installed.
