Plumbing Solutions for Kitchen Remodels in Naperville, IL
Kitchen plumbing during renovations can be a quick fix — like swapping faucets or hooking up a new disposal — or a bigger job involving moving sinks, installing gas lines, adding prep sinks, or roughing in pot fillers. Each job varies in complexity, cost, and permit needs. No matter the task, we’ve got it covered.
Here’s a pro tip: call us early in your project, ideally before cabinets go in. For example, moving the sink to a new spot needs drain and supply lines rerouted while the floor is open. Installing a gas line for a cooktop or range happens best before cabinetry installation. Pot filler faucet setups require opening the wall behind the stove, so getting us involved early saves headaches. Scheduling plumbing work promptly keeps your remodel on track through the unpredictable Illinois weather.
Besides remodels, we handle kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades — faucet replacements, disposal servicing, dishwasher or fridge water line hookups — any time you need. Remodeling is also a smart time to check if your water heater can keep up with added appliances and to clear slow drains before the cabinets close everything off. Call 331-226-1543 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We handle all types of kitchen sinks — undermount (coordinating with your countertop), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation covers drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and secure water supply connections using braided stainless steel lines, not brittle plastic. We also install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we install every style with correct mounting—whether 1-hole, 3-hole, or deck-plate—and pressure-test all connections before finishing. Relocating sinks involves rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines, including permits and inspections, which we expertly manage.
Dishwasher and Appliance Plumbing
We connect dishwashers with hot water supply and drain lines, ensuring the drain hose has a proper high loop or air gap to avoid backflow contamination. While electricians handle power, we coordinate to make sure everything works safely. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines with shutoff valves for easy access.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installs and filter maintenance guidance. Reach out to 331-226-1543 for any appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading to gas or adding a gas cooktop in an island? We size and install gas lines per appliance BTU specs, route from your gas main, install shutoff valves, connect with approved flexible fittings, pressure test thoroughly, and manage all required permits and inspections. Check our gas line services page for details on our safety-first approach.
Note: new gas lines to islands or relocated appliances must be rough-in before cabinetry is installed. Running gas lines after cabinets are set causes major disruptions. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers save you from hauling heavy pots full of water. We install these wall-mounted faucets about 56–60 inches high on the wall behind your range. This means running a cold water line inside the wall at the precise location—usually easier during a remodel when walls are open, but also possible in finished kitchens with minor wall repairs afterward. Call 331-226-1543 to plan your pot filler installation.
Island Sink Plumbing and Venting
Island sinks present unique plumbing challenges since their drains can’t connect to wall vents normally. They require special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve—depending on local code. Hot and cold supply lines are run from the nearest source. We carefully plan drain and vent routing through the floor and subfloor to meet code and ensure proper function. If your remodel includes an island sink, get us involved early to avoid surprises.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Confirm sink location early: Moving sinks is costly; finalize placement before ordering cabinets.
- Schedule gas line rough-in first: Gas lines for islands or new appliance spots must be installed before cabinetry.
- Pot filler before tile backsplash: Wall opening is easier before backsplash tiles are installed.
- Replace old shutoffs when exposed: Swap out aging gate valves with ball valves during plumbing work.
- Run fridge water lines early: Installing ice maker lines goes smoother before counters are in place.
Costs vary widely based on job scope: a faucet and disposal swap runs a few hundred dollars in labor, while relocating sinks, adding gas lines, and roughing in island sinks can reach several thousand. Pricing here gives rough estimates only. Call 331-226-1543 with project details for an accurate quote.
Frequent Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the more complex plumbing changes. Island sinks need special venting solutions—either an island loop vent or air admittance valve—to work properly. Water supply lines are straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor needs careful planning. We’ve done this many times. Call 331-226-1543 early to review your island’s plumbing layout.
Simple fixture swaps like replacing faucets or hooking up disposals and dishwashers usually don’t need permits. But any work involving drain rerouting, new water supply lines, gas line installation, or relocating fixtures requires permits. We handle all the paperwork and inspection coordination so you don’t have to worry.
