Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Streamwood, IL
Whether you’re just upgrading your kitchen faucet and hooking up a new disposal or planning a complete overhaul with relocating sinks and running gas lines for a new range, we’ve got the skills to get the job done right. We cover everything from quick fixture swaps to complex rough-ins involving rerouting drains and supply lines. The work scope influences pricing, timing, and any permit requirements — we’ll guide you through it all.
Here’s a key tip when planning your remodel: get your plumber involved early, ideally before cabinets and countertops are installed. If you’re moving the sink, the drain and vent lines must be adjusted while the floor and walls are accessible. Adding a gas line for your stove or island cooktop should happen before the cabinets are in place. Pot filler faucets need the wall opened up behind your stove — installing those after tile and backsplash is a much bigger hassle. Scheduling your plumbing work early helps keep your project on track.
We also handle stand-alone kitchen plumbing needs outside of remodels, including faucet replacements, disposal repairs or installation, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line connections. Plus, remodeling is a smart time to review your water heater capacity and clear any slow drains before cabinets are back in. Give us a call at 630-538-8940 anytime.
Complete Kitchen Plumbing Solutions
Sink & Faucet Installations
We install every type of kitchen sink you can imagine—undermount that requires coordinating with your countertop fabricator, farmhouse/apron-front, drop-in, single or double bowl, and even prep sinks. Installation includes fitting the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting supply lines with braided stainless steel for durability—no cheap plastic here. We also hook up garbage disposals in the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle all mounting styles, whether it’s a single-hole, three-hole, or with a deck plate. We pressure test every fixture before signing off. Moving your sink to a new spot? That involves rerouting drain pipes, modifying vents, and extending hot and cold supplies—we get the permits and inspections done too.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We set up dishwasher lines with proper hot water connections and drain hoses installed with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow issues. For fridge ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines from your supply, using copper or stainless braided tubing with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
Need instant hot water dispensers, under-sink filtration, or reverse osmosis? We install those faucets, connect supply and drain lines, and help you keep up with filter changes. Call 630-538-8940 for any kitchen appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation
Planning to switch to a gas range or add a cooktop in your island? We install gas lines sized to your appliance’s BTU rating, running pipe from the gas meter or existing supply. We fit shutoff valves, connect with code-approved flexible lines, pressure test everything, and handle permits and inspections. Check our gas line services page for more info.
If you need a gas line to an island or a new location, make sure this step happens before cabinets go in—it’s tough to retrofit later without major disruption. Talk to us and your GC early to plan accordingly.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove makes filling large pots a breeze without lugging water across the kitchen. We run a cold water supply inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and roughly 4 inches off center from the stove. Installing a pot filler is easiest when walls are open during remodeling, but we can install them in finished kitchens with minimal mess. Call 630-538-8940 to figure out what works for your space.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks come with unique challenges because you can’t vent their drains like wall sinks. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) based on local codes. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent lines through your floor and back up into the island cabinet takes careful planning. We’ve done plenty of island sinks and can help you get this right before you finalize your design.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving sinks adds complexity and cost, so lock in placement before cabinets are ordered.
- Gas line rough-in before cabinetry: Gas piping to new appliance locations must be completed prior to cabinet install.
- Pot filler faucet before backsplash: Opening walls is far easier before tile or backsplash is installed.
- Upgrade shutoffs during rough-in: Replace aging gate valves with ball valves while pipes are exposed.
- Refrigerator water lines before countertops: Running supply lines before counters are set is much simpler.
Kitchen Remodeling Questions Answered
Yes, though it’s one of the trickiest plumbing jobs because island sinks require special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve to prevent drain traps from siphoning dry. Supplying water is straightforward, but routing drain and vent lines beneath the floor demands careful attention. We’ve done many island sinks and can guide you through the process. Call 630-538-8940 to talk through your island plans.
If you’re just swapping out faucets or disposals in the same spot, usually you won’t need a permit. But any time there’s drain rerouting, new supply lines, gas piping, or layout changes, permits are required by the city. We’ll take care of filing the permit and scheduling inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Definitely. Installing a gas line is best done during remodeling when the walls are open. We size the pipe correctly, connect everything with approved materials, pressure test the system, and handle all permits. Make sure to schedule your gas line installation before your cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
