Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Willow Springs, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a complete kitchen plumbing overhaul — including moving sinks, installing gas lines for your range, adding prep sinks, or roughing in pot fillers — we’ve got you covered. The project size defines cost and timing, and sometimes permits are necessary. No matter your project’s scope, our licensed plumbers handle it with care and precision.
Give us a call at 708-729-8533 and here’s my recommendation: bring the plumber onboard early. If you plan to relocate your sink, rerouting drains and vents should be tackled before floors and cabinets are installed. Gas lines for new stoves or island cooktops need to be roughed in ahead of cabinetry. Pot filler installs require opening the wall behind your range, which is best done before backsplash tiles go up. Scheduling plumbing work early can save you headaches and delays, especially with Illinois weather adding unpredictability.
We also provide standalone repairs and installations — faucet replacements, garbage disposal services, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines — even if you’re not remodeling. Kitchen remodels are also a great time to check your water heater’s capacity to meet new demands or clear out any slow drains before finishing. Reach out anytime at 708-729-8533 for expert advice and service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink and Faucet Installations
We fit all types of kitchen sinks — undermount (we coordinate with your countertop installer for precise cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. We handle all drain components including basket strainers, P-traps, and water supply lines. We use braided stainless steel supply tubing for durability, not the brittle plastic lines prone to leaks. We also install and hook up garbage disposals as part of this service when requested.
For faucets, we handle all mounting styles — single-hole, three-hole, deck-mounted — and pressure test every connection to ensure no leaks before completion. If you’re relocating the sink, expect a more extensive job involving drain line rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply extensions — permits and inspections included.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installation involves connecting the hot water supply and routing the drain with a high loop or air gap to stop backflow. We check to make sure the electrical connections are suitable and coordinate with electricians as needed. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install a dedicated cold water line from the nearest supply, using copper or braided stainless steel pipe, securing everything properly with a shutoff valve accessible behind the fridge.
We also connect instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units. RO systems require a dedicated faucet hole and connections for supply and drain lines. We’ll guide you through cartridge replacement and maintenance. Call 708-729-8533 for any kitchen appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Cooking Appliances
Whether you’re switching from electric to gas or adding a cooktop on an island, we provide complete gas line installations. We size the piping based on appliance BTU ratings, run it from your existing gas meter, add shutoff valves, connect using flexible connectors that meet code, conduct pressure tests, and manage permits and inspections. For more on how we handle gas work safely, visit our gas line services page.
If you’re planning a gas line for an island or new stove location, this work must be done before cabinets and counters go in — running gas lines afterward can be a big hassle. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us to ensure smooth installation.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your range makes filling large pots from the stove much easier. It needs a cold water supply line run inside the wall, typically about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and offset a few inches from the stove centerline. Installing one during a remodel is straightforward since walls are open. For finished kitchens, we can still install a pot filler, but it involves opening the wall, repairing drywall or tile afterward. Give us a call at 708-729-8533 to explore your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Systems
Putting a sink on a kitchen island requires special plumbing. Since you can’t vent it through a wall like usual, island sinks need either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on your local code. Supplying hot and cold water to the island is straightforward, but routing drains and vents under floors and back up requires careful planning. We’ve installed island sink plumbing numerous times—talk to us before finalizing your kitchen island layout.

- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving sinks is the priciest plumbing change—make sure it’s finalized before ordering cabinets
- Run gas rough-ins before cabinets: Gas piping for islands or new stove spots must be installed ahead of cabinetry
- Install pot filler before backsplash tile: Opening walls is much easier before tiling
- Upgrade shutoff valves while pipes are exposed: Replace old gate valves with ball valves to avoid leaks later
- Install fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to connect ice maker lines before counters are set
Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, though relocating a sink to an island is one of the trickiest plumbing jobs due to venting requirements. Island sinks need an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) per code. Running hot and cold supplies is straightforward, but routing drains beneath the floor requires planning. We do this regularly—call 708-729-8533 to review your island plans before finalizing.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot—like a faucet or disposal—usually no permit is required. But for any drain rerouting, new supply pipe installation, gas line work, or layout changes, permits are mandatory. We take care of all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines is best done during remodeling when walls are open. We run lines for stoves, cooktops, and ovens, properly sized to appliance BTUs, pressure tested, and fully permitted. Make sure to schedule this before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
