Professional Kitchen Plumbing in Wilmington, IL
Whether you're doing a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen overhaul with sink relocation, gas line installation, and adding a prep sink, we’ve got you covered. Kitchen plumbing projects vary from a few hours to multiple days depending on complexity. We also guide you through when permits are necessary and make sure all work complies with local codes.
My recommendation: get your plumber involved early—before cabinets are installed. If you’re changing sink locations, rerouting drains and vents is much easier when the floor is open. New gas lines for ranges or islands should be roughed in early as well. Pot filler faucets need access behind the wall, so plan that before tiling your backsplash. Starting your plumbing work early in the process avoids costly delays.
We also handle standalone kitchen plumbing jobs like faucet replacements, disposal repairs, or refrigerator water lines without a full remodel. Kitchen projects are a perfect time to check your water heater’s capacity and fix any slow drains before finishing up. Call us anytime at 779-217-8948 for solid advice or service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink and Faucet Setup
We install every style of kitchen sink you can think of—from undermount to farmhouse aprons, single or double bowls, even prep sinks. The installation includes connecting the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and hot/cold water supply lines, using high-quality braided stainless steel hoses, not those brittle plastic ones. We also install and hook up garbage disposals as part of the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we handle all mounting styles like single-hole, three-hole with a deck plate, and pressure test everything before we finish. Moving your sink to a new spot involves more work—rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines—but that’s part of our expertise too, including pulling permits and scheduling inspections.
Dishwasher & Other Appliance Connections
We’ll connect your dishwasher water supply and drain hose properly, making sure it has the required high loop or air gap to prevent backflow contamination. We check the electrical setup with your electrician to avoid issues. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated water lines from the nearest supply, securely supported and with accessible shutoff valves behind the fridge.
Plus, we install hot water dispensers, under-sink filters, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation and waste line connection. Give us a call at 779-217-8948 to get your appliances hooked up correctly.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Adding a gas cooktop or switching your range from electric? We install properly sized gas lines tailored to your appliance’s BTU rating, routing from your gas meter or main supply. We fit shutoff valves, use flexible code-compliant connectors, pressure test the entire system, and handle permits and inspections to keep everything safe and up to code. Check out our gas line services page for more details.
Note: If the gas line runs to a new island or appliance location, this should be done before cabinetry is installed to avoid complicated rerouting later. We recommend coordinating with your general contractor early on.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers are wall-mounted faucets installed near your stove to fill pots without lugging them from the sink. Installing one involves running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above floor level, usually just beside the cooktop. Doing this during a remodel is straightforward; in finished kitchens, it requires cutting into walls and careful repair work. Call us at 779-217-8948 to talk over your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink is more challenging because you can’t connect the drain to a wall vent in the usual way. Instead, island sinks need either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. We run hot and cold supply lines from the closest mains, then carefully route drain and vent piping beneath the floor and up through the island cabinetry. We’ve installed plenty of island sinks here in the Illinois area—reach out so we can plan your layout correctly before you finalize it.

Tips on Kitchen Plumbing Scheduling
- Set sink location before demo: Moving sinks adds significant cost — lock in placement early.
- Gas line rough-in comes before cabinets: Install gas lines before cabinetry to avoid complicated rerouting later.
- Pot filler installation before backsplash: Take advantage of open walls prior to tiling.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while exposed: Switch out old gate valves for modern ball valves during remodel.
- Run fridge water lines before counters: It’s easier to install ice maker lines before countertops go in.
Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but it’s a more involved job. Island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve due to the lack of nearby wall vents. The water supply is straightforward, but routing the drain through the floor takes planning. We’re experienced with island sinks—call 779-217-8948 to plan your layout before you finalize it.
Simple fixture replacements like swapping a faucet or disposal usually don’t require permits. But any work involving rerouting drain lines, installing new supply pipes, adding gas lines, or changing the kitchen’s layout typically does require permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Yes. Adding a gas line is safest and easiest when walls are open during a remodel. We install properly sized gas lines, pressure test them, and get all necessary permits. Make sure you schedule your gas rough-in ahead of cabinet installation to avoid delays.
