Trusted Kitchen Plumbing in Bensenville, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be quick and simple — like swapping faucets, hooking up a new garbage disposal, or connecting a dishwasher — or it can be a bigger job involving moving sinks to new spots, running gas lines for stoves, installing prep sinks in pantries, or adding pot fillers. The size of the job affects cost, timing, and whether permits are needed. Whatever you need, we’re ready.
Here’s a tip: when planning your remodel, schedule plumbing work before cabinetry installation. If your sink is moving, the drain and vent piping must be accessible before you close up the floor. Gas lines for cooktops and ranges need to be roughed in before counters and cabinets go in. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind your stove, so it’s much simpler before tile is installed. Getting us involved early helps your project flow smoothly.
We also handle kitchen plumbing fixes on their own — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repair, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installs — even if you’re not remodeling. Plus, when upgrading your kitchen, it’s a smart time to check that your water heater can keep up with new appliances and to clear any slow drains before cabinets cover everything up. Call us at 630-634-7524 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install every type of kitchen sink you might have — undermount (carefully coordinating the countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. That includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting the water supply lines. We use braided stainless steel supply lines for durability — no brittle plastic here. When relevant, we add garbage disposal installation on the same visit.
Faucet installation is part of the package too, including all mounting types like single hole, three hole, or deck plates. We pressure-test everything to ensure leak-free operation before we leave. If you want to move your sink to a new location, that’s a bigger job involving rerouting drains and vents, and extending supply lines — all requiring permits and inspections, which we handle.
Dishwasher and Appliance Connections
We hook up dishwashers with the proper hot water feed, secure drain lines with high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and check electrical compatibility (electricians handle wiring, but we coordinate). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or braided stainless, with proper support and accessible shutoffs behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water dispensers, under-sink water filtration, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation on the sink deck and all necessary plumbing connections. Reach out to us at 630-634-7524 for any appliance plumbing.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Switching your stove from electric to gas? Adding a gas cooktop to your island? We’ll size and run the gas line from your meter or main supply to the appliance location, install shutoff valves, connect with code-approved flexible connectors, and pressure test the system. We also handle all permits and inspections for safety and compliance. Visit our gas line services page for more on how we manage these installations.
Important: get gas line rough-in done before cabinets are installed. Running gas pipes after cabinetry is in place is tricky, costly, and disruptive. Coordinate this with your general contractor and our team early on.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted over the stove adds real convenience when cooking large meals, letting you fill pots right by the burner. Installing one means running a cold water supply line through the wall about 56–60 inches off the floor and near the stove’s centerline. This is straightforward during a remodel with open walls. For finished kitchens, we can still install pot fillers with minimal wall repair needed. Call us for details at 630-634-7524.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Installing a sink in your kitchen island is a bit more complicated than a wall-mounted sink because the drain and vent can’t tie into a standard wall vent. Island sinks need an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) according to local codes. We run hot and cold water lines from the nearest supply and carefully plan the drain and vent piping through the floor and subfloor. We’re experienced with these setups and happy to talk through your island plumbing options before you finalize your plans.

Tips for Scheduling Kitchen Plumbing
- Set sink location early: Sink relocation is the priciest plumbing change — nail down placement before demo starts
- Gas line install before cabinets: Run new gas pipes to islands or changed stove spots before cabinetry goes in
- Pot filler before backsplash: Easier to open the wall and run lines before tile work
- Update shutoff valves while pipes are open: Old gate valves can fail, so replace them with ball valves during remodel
- Run fridge water lines early: Easier to install before countertops are set
Kitchen Remodel Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing jobs. Island sinks need special venting solutions, like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to meet code.
