Reliable Kitchen Plumbing in Shabbona, IL
Kitchen plumbing during remodels can vary from quick fixture swaps to extensive rerouting. Whether you're simply replacing a faucet, hooking up a new disposal, or running new gas lines and relocating sinks, we’ve got the skills and experience to get the job done right. Permits may be necessary depending on the work’s scale, and we take care of all that for you.
One tip from us: schedule your plumber early—before cabinets arrive. Moving plumbing, like a sink relocation, is best handled while floors and walls are accessible. Installing gas lines or prepping for a pot filler also need to happen before cabinetry and backsplashes go in. Early planning keeps your remodel on track and saves headaches.
We also handle smaller kitchen plumbing jobs outside of remodels. Need a faucet replaced, garbage disposal serviced, or refrigerator water line installed? We can help. Plus, a kitchen remodel is a perfect time to inspect your water heater’s capacity or clear out slow drains before closing up the cabinets. Give us a ring at 779-382-2438 for whatever you need.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Setup
We install all types of kitchen sinks—undermount, farmhouse, drop-in, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our work includes connecting drains, strainers, P-traps, and robust braided stainless steel supply lines, avoiding the brittle plastic hoses that fail over time. Garbage disposal installs are part of the package when applicable.
Faucets come in all configurations, and we handle 1-hole, 3-hole, and deck-plate mounts with thorough pressure testing. If you want to move your sink, that involves rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines, which we do with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers to hot water supplies and drain lines, ensuring proper high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow contamination. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with easily accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
Our team also installs instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems—running supply and drain lines and helping you understand maintenance needs. Call at 779-382-2438 for any appliance hookups.
Gas Lines for Cooking Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop? We size and install gas lines from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, use code-approved flexible connectors, and pressure test the system. We handle permits and inspections too. Check our gas line services page for more details.
Important: gas lines to islands or new appliance locations must be roughed in before cabinetry goes in. Doing this after cabinets are installed makes the job costly and complicated, so plan early with us and your contractor.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet lets you fill large pots right at the stove, saving trips with heavy water containers. It requires a cold water line routed inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above floor level and slightly off-center from the range. This is easiest during remodels with open walls, but we can also install in finished kitchens with minimal disruption. Call to discuss your project at 779-382-2438.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Installing a sink in a kitchen island requires special venting since it doesn’t tie into wall vents directly. Options include an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. We run supply lines from the nearest source and carefully plan drain and vent routing through floors and subfloors. If you’re planning an island sink, call us early so we can help create an efficient plumbing layout.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Confirm sink location early: Moving the sink typically costs the most, so finalize placement before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinetry: Gas piping to new spots or islands should be installed ahead of cabinet installation
- Install pot filler before backsplash tile: Wall access is much easier before tiling
- Upgrade shutoff valves while accessible: Replace old gate valves with durable ball valves during open plumbing phases
- Run fridge water lines before counters: Easier to add ice maker lines before countertops go in
Kitchen Remodeling Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we do this often. Moving a sink to an island requires special venting solutions since it can’t connect to a wall vent the usual way. We typically install an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, depending on local codes. Running supply lines is straightforward, but drain venting needs careful planning. Give us a call at 779-382-2438 before finalizing your island design.
For simple replacements like faucets, disposals, or dishwasher hookups in the same location, permits usually aren’t required. But if you’re rerouting drains, running new supply lines, doing gas line work, or changing layouts, you’ll need permits. We handle all the paperwork and inspections as part of our service.
Definitely. Installing gas lines is best done while walls are open during remodels. We size the line properly, install shutoff valves, run piping from your meter or existing line, pressure test everything, and pull the necessary permits. Make sure to schedule this work before cabinet installation.
