Professional Kitchen Plumbing in Union, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen rough-in with sink relocation, gas line installation, or a prep sink added, we’ve got you covered. Kitchen plumbing jobs vary — some wrap up in a few hours, others take several days depending on your layout and permit requirements. No matter the scale, our team handles it all with precision and care.
Here’s a tip from my experience: schedule your plumber before cabinets arrive. Moving your sink means changing drain lines and vents, which is easiest when the subfloor is exposed. Adding a gas line for a new range or cooktop always needs to happen in advance of cabinet installation. Pot filler faucets require wall access behind the stove — best done before backsplash tile goes in. Early plumbing planning can save you headaches down the line, especially with Illinois’s seasonal weather pushing construction timelines.
If you just need faucet repairs, garbage disposal work, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water lines outside a remodel, we handle those calls, too. Plus, a kitchen renovation is a great time to check your water heater capacity and fix any slow drains with our drain cleaning service before the kitchen gets put back together. Call us anytime at 779-217-8837.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services Include
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install every kind of kitchen sink: undermount (cutout coordination with countertops), drop-in, farmhouse style, single and double bowls, plus prep sinks. Installation covers drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and water supply lines. We use braided stainless supply lines, not the old plastic ones that break down quickly. We also handle garbage disposal installs alongside sink work for convenience.
For faucets, we set up all mounting styles — 1-hole, 3-hole, or deck plate — and test for leaks under pressure before finishing. Moving a sink to a new location is a much bigger job requiring new drains, vents, and water supply lines. We take care of permits and inspections for these projects.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Hooking up a dishwasher means connecting hot water lines, routing the drain hose with an air gap or properly placed high loop to prevent backflow, and confirming the electrical supply is up to code (we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line—usually copper or braided stainless—with proper shutoff valves accessible behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water heaters, under-sink filtration and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we handle faucet installation on the sink deck, connect supply and waste lines, and guide you on filter changes. Give us a call at 779-217-8837 for any kitchen appliance plumbing you need.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Converting to gas or adding a gas cooktop? We install new gas lines sized correctly for the appliance’s BTU rating. We run piping from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible, code-approved fittings, test for leaks, and manage all permit and inspection paperwork. Check our gas line services page for more details.
One key note: gas line installation has to be done before cabinets go in. Trying to run gas lines around finished cabinets, especially for islands, gets complicated and costly. Coordinate early with your general contractor and us to keep your project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove adds real convenience for filling large pots without carrying them. We run a cold water line inside the wall at roughly 56 to 60 inches above the floor, about four inches off center from the stove. It’s simplest to install during a remodel when walls are open, but we can add pot fillers in finished kitchens with minimal wall patching and repair. Call us to explore options at 779-217-8837.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Solutions
Island sinks are trickier because they can't vent through a nearby wall pipe like standard sinks. You either need an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Running hot and cold water supply to an island is straightforward, but routing drain lines through the floor and then venting properly requires careful planning. We install island plumbing often—reach out early so we can help design it right before your final plans settle.

Kitchen Plumbing Scheduling Tips
- Pin down sink placement early: Relocating sinks is one of the biggest plumbing jobs—confirm before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line work first: Gas pipe rough-in must happen ahead of cabinet installation.
- Pot filler prep before tile: It’s far easier to open walls before backsplash tiles go on.
- Upgrade shutoff valves when you can: Replace old gate valves with durable ball valves while plumbing is exposed.
- Run fridge water lines early: Installing ice maker lines before countertops makes the process smoother.
Costs vary widely depending on the work—simple faucet and disposal swaps might cost a few hundred dollars, while a complete kitchen rough-in with sink relocation, gas line installation, and island prep sinks can reach several thousand. There’s no one-size-fits-all average here. Call 779-217-8837 with your project details, and we’ll provide an upfront, customized estimate.
Kitchen Remodel FAQ
Yes, but it’s a more involved process because island sinks require special venting—either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). The water supply lines are straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor demands detailed planning. We handle this kind of plumbing frequently, so call us to discuss your island plans before you finalize them.
Simple replacements like faucet swaps or disposal installations in the same spot typically don’t require permits. But any job involving drain reroutes, new supply lines, gas line work, or moving fixtures will need permits. We take care of the paperwork and make sure inspections happen on schedule.
