Expert Kitchen Plumbing Services in Round Lake, IL
Whether it’s a quick faucet swap, connecting your new garbage disposal and dishwasher, or a larger project like moving the sink to an island, running gas lines, adding a pot filler, or installing a prep sink in the pantry, we cover the full range of kitchen plumbing work. The complexity of your job determines costs, scheduling, and permit requirements — we know how to manage all of it smoothly.
Here’s a pro tip when planning your kitchen remodel: get the plumber involved before the cabinets go in. If you’re relocating the sink, drain lines need to be rerouted while the floor is open. Gas line rough-ins for a new stove or island cooktop have to happen before cabinetry too. Pot fillers require wall access behind the stove, so plan for that before tiling the backsplash. Scheduling plumbing early keeps your project on track and avoids headaches down the line.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing jobs like faucet replacements, disposal repairs or installations, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines outside of remodels. This is also a great time to check if your water heater can support added appliances and address any drain slowdowns before new cabinets are installed. Reach out anytime at 224-308-1299.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Setup
We install all kinds of kitchen sinks — undermount, drop-in, apron-front farmhouse, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes drain basket and strainer assembly, P-trap connection, and hooking up supply lines with braided stainless steel tubing, not the brittle plastic stuff. If you need a garbage disposal installed, we can take care of that during the same visit.
Faucet installation covers all mounting types — one-hole, three-hole, or deck-mounted with plate. We pressure test all connections to ensure no leaks. Moving your sink to a new spot? We handle the more involved drain rerouting, venting adjustments, and supply line extensions with the necessary permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Other Appliance Hookups
Hooking up your dishwasher includes connecting the hot water supply and routing the drain line with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We also check that your electrical setup is safe and coordinate with electricians if needed. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or stainless steel with shutoff valves easy to reach behind the unit.
We install instant hot water systems, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis units, including faucet mounting and connecting supply and drain lines. If you want an expert for appliance plumbing, give us a call at 224-308-1299.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch to gas cooking or add a cooktop on your island? We size and install gas piping based on appliance BTU ratings, run lines from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with code-approved flexible connectors, and pressure test everything for safety. We also handle all permits and inspections required by local codes. For more details, check our gas line services page.
Remember: gas line rough-ins need to be done before cabinets are installed. Trying to add them after cabinetry goes in is tricky and expensive. Coordinate this step early with your builder and us to avoid delays.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove makes filling pots easier and safer by eliminating trips across the kitchen with heavy water containers. Installation requires running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and just off the center of your cooktop. It’s easiest to install during remodeling when walls are open, but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with careful wall patching and restoration. Call us at 224-308-1299 to see what fits your setup.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks need special venting because they can’t tie into wall vents the usual way. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAV) depending on local code. Supply lines are straightforward, but the drain and vent piping run underneath the floor and back up through the island cabinet needs precise planning to avoid clogs and odors. We’ve installed many island sinks around Round Lake and can guide you on the best setup for your space.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demo: Moving a sink is the costliest change — make sure it’s locked in before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in pre-cabinet installation: Gas lines to new locations must be roughed in before cabinetry goes in
- Install pot filler before backsplash work: Wall access for pot fillers is much simpler before tile is installed
- Replace old shutoff valves early: Swap worn gate valves for ball valves while plumbing is exposed to avoid failures later
- Run fridge water line before counters: Making the ice maker connection is simpler before countertops are set
Kitchen Remodeling FAQs
Yes, but island sinks involve more complex plumbing because the drain venting has to be addressed differently — usually with an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Running supply lines is easy, but routing the drain beneath the floor and back into the island cabinet requires expertise. We’ve done many island sink installs in Round Lake and can help you get the layout right. Give us a call at 224-308-1299.
If you’re just swapping fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, permits usually aren’t needed. But any work that involves moving drains, adding new supply lines, or installing gas piping requires permits and inspections under local codes. We take care of all permit paperwork and inspection scheduling for you.
Yes. Installing gas lines is best done during a remodel when walls are open. We size and install gas piping safely and to code, test the system, and handle permits. Schedule the gas line rough-in before your cabinets go in to avoid costly adjustments later.
Definitely. We work closely with general contractors, designers, and kitchen remodel teams to schedule plumbing rough-ins and finishes that fit the overall project timeline. We handle permits and coordinate inspections so plumbing isn’t a bottleneck. Call us early to get on the schedule.
