Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services in Big Rock, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap and disposal hookup or a more extensive project like relocating your sink to the island, running a new gas line for your stove, or adding a prep sink, we’ve got you covered. Your project's size and complexity impact cost and schedule, and sometimes permits are necessary. No matter what, our team manages every detail.
Call us at 630-394-6199 and remember this: get your plumber involved before cabinets go in. Moving your sink requires access to the subfloor to reroute drains properly. Running gas lines for a cooktop or range should happen before cabinetry installation. Pot filler faucets need wall access behind your stove, which is far simpler before backsplash tile is set. Planning plumbing early keeps your Big Rock kitchen on track, especially with our chilly Illinois winters.
We’re happy to handle standalone kitchen plumbing jobs too, like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or ice maker line installations. Kitchen remodels are a great time to check if your water heater can keep up with new appliances or to clear any clogged drains before cabinet installation. Just give us a call at 630-394-6199.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installations
We install every style of kitchen sink you might want: undermount sinks (we coordinate the countertop cutout), drop-in models, farmhouse or apron-front styles, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our work includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and all supply line connections. We use braided stainless steel supply lines for durability, not old plastic that cracks. We also install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle all mounting styles, from single-hole to three-hole with deck plates, and pressure test everything before wrapping up. If you want to move the sink location, we take care of rerouting the drain and vent pipes, and extending supply lines with all permits and inspections handled.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers by running the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and check for appropriate electrical service (which your electrician takes care of, but we coordinate). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines from the nearest supply point, using copper or braided stainless lines with a shutoff valve easy to reach behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we cut the sink deck for the faucet, hook up supply and drain lines, and advise on filter replacements. Call 630-394-6199 for any kitchen appliance plumbing setup.
Gas Line Installation for Your Kitchen
Thinking about switching to a gas range or adding a cooktop on your island? We size gas piping for your appliance’s BTU rating, route lines from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, use flexible code-approved connectors, pressure-test the system, and manage permits and inspections. Check out our gas line services page for details on safety and process.
Keep in mind: any new gas line rough-in, especially to an island or new appliance location, must be done before cabinets go in. Trying to run gas lines after cabinets are installed is a major headache. Plan ahead with your builder and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler gives you water right at your stove, so you don’t have to carry heavy pots across the kitchen. It needs a cold water line run inside the wall around 56 to 60 inches from the floor and close to the range. This is easiest when walls are open during remodeling, but we can also install pot fillers in finished kitchens with minimal wall work. Call 630-394-6199 to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks come with unique challenges since you can't vent drains through a wall stack the usual way. They require either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local code. Running hot and cold water to the island is usually straightforward, but routing the drain and vent pipes through the floor and subfloor needs careful design. We do this work all the time in Big Rock homes — contact us to plan your island plumbing before finalizing your layout.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Scheduling
- Decide sink placement before demolition: Moving sinks is costly; lock in the location before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas plumbing must be done before cabinetry is installed
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Easier to open walls before tile goes in
- Replace old shutoffs while piping is exposed: Old gate valves can fail; swap them for ball valves during remodeling
- Run fridge water line before countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines prior to countertop installation
Kitchen Remodeling Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, moving the sink to an island is possible but involves more complex plumbing because island drains need special venting like an island loop vent or AAV. Running water supply is simpler, but drain and vent piping through the floor requires expert planning. We’ve done plenty of these installations around Big Rock. Call 630-394-6199 before finalizing your island design.
Replacing fixtures in the same spot—like faucets, disposals, or dishwasher hookups—usually doesn’t need a permit. But if you’re changing drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or altering the layout, permits are required. We take care of the entire permitting and inspection process for you.
Yes. Installing gas lines is best done during remodeling when walls are open. We size and route lines properly, perform pressure tests, and ensure all permits and inspections are handled. Scheduling this before cabinets are installed is critical. See our gas line services for more info.
