Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in North Aurora, IL
Kitchen plumbing for remodels can be straightforward—like swapping out a faucet or installing a new disposal—or more complex, such as relocating the sink to an island, running a new gas line for a stove, adding a prep sink, or installing a pot filler. The extent of work affects pricing, timing, and the need for permits. We’re ready to tackle it all.
My advice? Call us at 331-231-2643 early, ideally before cabinets arrive. If you’re moving the sink, plumbing reroutes will need floor access before subflooring gets sealed up. Installing a gas line for an island cooktop or range needs to happen before cabinetry goes in. Pot filler installation requires opening the wall behind the stove, so scheduling that before backsplash tile is installed saves effort. Getting plumbing sorted early in the process helps avoid costly delays here in the North Aurora area, where the freeze-thaw cycle can already stretch timelines.
We also handle kitchen plumbing service calls outside of remodels: faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines. Remodeling is a great time to check your water heater capacity and clear any slow drains before cabinets are reinstalled. Call 331-231-2643 whenever you need plumbing help.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We fit all types of kitchen sinks—undermount (coordinated with countertop cutouts), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Installation includes setting up the drain assembly, strainer, P-trap, and connecting reliable braided stainless steel supply lines instead of fragile plastic ones. We also handle disposal installs and replacements during the same visit.
For faucet installation, we work with every mounting style—1-hole, 3-hole, or deck plate. We pressure test all connections to prevent leaks before we finish up. If you want to relocate your sink, that’s a bigger job involving rerouting drains, vents, and supplies — permits and inspections included — but it’s part of what we do daily.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Connecting your dishwasher means properly hooking up the hot water supply, routing the drain line with an air gap or high loop to prevent backflow, and ensuring the electrical supply is safe and suitable (we coordinate with electricians for this). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated, supported cold water lines with shutoff valves accessible behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems—including faucet installation and waste line hookups. Call 331-231-2643 anytime for appliance plumbing.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Need a gas line for a new range or cooktop? We size the pipe according to the appliance’s BTUs, run the line from your gas meter or main supply, install shutoff valves, connect the appliance with approved flexible connectors, pressure test the system, and handle permits and inspections. All gas work is done following strict safety procedures. More info is on our gas line services page.
Pro tip: Any gas line rough-in to an island or new appliance location must be completed before cabinetry installation since routing gas lines afterward is difficult and intrusive. Plan early with your general contractor and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Adding a pot filler faucet gives you water right at the stove—no hauling heavy pots across the kitchen. We run a dedicated cold water line inside the wall, typically around 56 to 60 inches above the floor and about 4 inches off the range centerline. It’s straightforward during a remodel with open walls but we can also retrofit finished kitchens with careful wall access, patching, and finishing. Call 331-231-2643 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Installing a sink on an island means special plumbing needs since you can’t vent the drain the usual way through a wall. We set up island loop vents or air admittance valves (AAVs) depending on local code here in Illinois. Hot and cold water supply runs are straightforward, but the drain and vent piping has to be routed under the floor and back up into the island cabinet with precision. We’ve done plenty of island sinks and can help plan your layout to avoid headaches.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Decide sink location early: Moving sinks is costly—confirm before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Installing gas lines to new locations requires open access.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Easier to open walls before tile goes up.
- Replace old shutoff valves while accessible: Older gate valves often leak—swap for ball valves during remodeling.
- Run refrigerator water lines before counters: Easier pipe runs when countertops aren’t installed yet.
Costs vary widely depending on project complexity. A simple faucet and disposal swap might be a few hundred dollars in labor, while a full remodel with sink relocation, gas line, and island plumbing can run several thousand. These estimates are rough; call 331-231-2643 to share your plans and get a clear quote.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the trickier plumbing changes. Island sinks need special venting like an island loop or an air admittance valve to work properly. Running hot and cold water supply is easy enough, but the drain and vent lines have to be carefully routed through the floor. We’ve done many island sink installations—call us to review your layout before locking in your plans.
If you’re just swapping fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, usually no permit is needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, running new water or gas lines, or changing the plumbing layout, permits and inspections are legally required. We take care of all permit paperwork and inspection scheduling as part of our service.
Yes, and it’s best done during remodeling when walls are open. We handle all gas line work for ranges, ovens, and cooktops—sized properly, pressure tested, and permitted. Make sure to have the gas line rough-in done before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
