Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services in Bedford Park, IL
Kitchen plumbing for a remodel can be a quick job like replacing a faucet or hooking up a new disposal and dishwasher, or more complex like moving sinks to an island, installing gas lines for new appliances, adding prep sinks, or running supply lines for pot fillers. What you need will dictate cost, timing, and whether permits are necessary. Whatever your kitchen requires, we’re equipped to manage it.
Here’s a tip from me: get your plumber involved early. Call us at 708-734-2867 before cabinets go in. If your sink’s moving, that drain reroute has to happen before the subfloor is covered. Gas line installations for ranges or cooktops should be roughed in before cabinetry is installed. Pot fillers involve opening walls behind the stove, so it’s much easier to do before tile gets laid. Scheduling us ahead helps keep your project on track.
We also tackle single kitchen plumbing issues outside remodels — faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water lines. Remodeling is also a great time to check if your water heater’s up for extra demand or to clear slow drains before cabinets block access. Just call 708-734-2867 to schedule service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We handle all sink styles: undermount (we coordinate with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse apron, single and double bowls, plus prep sinks. Our installation includes drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and securely connecting braided stainless water lines—far better than the old plastic tubing that cracks over time. If you want a garbage disposal, we can install and hook it up during the same visit.
For faucets, we install all types and mount styles, testing for leaks before we leave. If you’re relocating your sink, expect a more involved process with drain rerouting and vent adjustments, and we’ll pull the necessary permits to get it done right.
Dishwasher and Other Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installations include hot water supply connections and drain hose routing with a proper high loop or air gap to avoid backflow issues. We check that your electrical hookup is ready, coordinating with electricians when needed. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines, properly secured with shutoff valves accessible behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers and under-sink water filtration or reverse osmosis systems. For RO systems, we’ll install the special faucet, hook up supply and waste lines, and guide you on filter upkeep. Reach out at 708-734-2867 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking of switching to a gas range or adding a cooktop? We run gas lines sized right for your appliance’s BTU rating, route gas piping from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with approved flexible connectors, pressure test lines, and handle permits and inspections. Check out our gas line services for details.
Important: gas lines feeding islands or new appliance locations must be roughed in before cabinets go in. Cutting into cabinetry to add gas piping later is tough and costly. Coordinate early with us and your builder.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers add convenience by letting you fill pots right at the stove. We run a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and roughly 4 inches off center from the range. It’s easiest to install during remodels with open walls, but we can retrofit finished kitchens with minimal disruption. Call 708-734-2867 to discuss your setup.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in an island requires special venting because you can’t tie the drain into a wall vent like usual. Options include an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward but routing drains through the floor and venting correctly takes experience. We’ve done plenty of island sink installs in the Bedford Park area—call us to plan your layout right.

Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, but it’s a more involved plumbing task. Island sinks need special venting solutions like island loop vents or AAVs, which your local codes require. Running water supply is straightforward, but the drain has to route properly through the subfloor. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks around Bedford Park—call 708-734-2867 to review your kitchen plans before you finalize them.
Minor fixture swaps in the same location—like replacing a faucet or disposal—usually don’t need permits. But any drain rerouting, gas line installations, supply line rough-ins, or moving plumbing to a new location require permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
