Expert Kitchen Plumbing for Renovations in Berwyn, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be a quick fix like swapping out faucets and hooking up disposals or dishwashers, or a larger job like relocating sinks, installing new gas lines for ranges, adding prep sinks in pantries, or roughing in pot fillers. The size of the job impacts timelines, pricing, and whether permits are necessary. Our experienced plumbers handle every detail with care.
Here’s a tip: call us early in your remodel—ideally, before cabinets go in. Moving the sink means drain rerouting, which is easiest while the subfloor is open. New gas lines must be roughed in before cabinets are installed to avoid cutting or rerouting later. Pot filler faucet setups require wall access, best done before backsplash tile is set. Early plumber involvement saves a lot of headaches in Berwyn’s homes, especially with its older construction quirks.
We also take service calls for faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwashers, or fridge water line installations even when you’re not remodeling. Plus, a kitchen remodel is a perfect time to check if your water heater can keep up and to clear stubborn clogs causing slow drains before you seal everything back up. Reach us anytime at 708-847-4984.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installations
We handle all sink types—undermount sinks that require a coordinated countertop cutout, drop-in models, farmhouse/apron front styles, plus single or double bowls and prep sinks. Our installs cover everything from drain basket assembly and strainers to P-traps and supply connections. We use braided stainless steel supply lines to avoid the cracking and leaks common with older plastic lines. Need a garbage disposal connected? We take care of that during the same visit.
Faucet installs cover all mounting styles—whether it’s a single hole, three-hole, or deck plate setup—and we pressure test all connections thoroughly. Moving the sink to a new spot? That means drain rerouting, adjusting vents, and extending supply lines, which we handle with the proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher connections include hooking up hot water supplies and routing the drain hose with an air gap or high loop to prevent backflow contamination. We’ll also inspect your electrical setup and coordinate with electricians if needed. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines—using copper or braided stainless—complete with shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation, connecting supply and drain lines, plus advice on filter maintenance. Call us for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs at 708-847-4984.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchens
Switching to gas or adding a gas cooktop? We size and install gas lines for ranges, ovens, and cooktops based on BTU requirements. Our process includes routing the gas pipe from your meter or existing supply, installing shutoff valves, connecting the appliance with flexible, code-approved fittings, pressure testing, and handling all necessary permits and inspections. Check our gas line page for detailed info.
Keep in mind: gas line rough-ins must happen before cabinets are installed. Trying to retrofit a gas line after cabinetry is in place leads to cuts and delays. Plan with your general contractor and us early for a smooth install.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet sits above your stove, providing easy water access without lugging heavy pots across the kitchen. Installing one means running a cold water supply line inside the wall, roughly 56 to 60 inches off the floor and near the cooktop. This goes smoothly during remodels when walls are open, but we can retrofit finished kitchens too—with some extra wall patching and finishing. Call us for details at 708-847-4984.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Plumbing an island sink involves more than just running supply lines. Since you can't vent the drain through a wall stack as usual, we install an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Supply lines are run from the nearest main supply, but drains and vents require careful routing beneath the floor and back up through the island cabinet. We’ve done plenty of these in Berwyn homes and can guide you through the best solution for your island design.
