Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in Wadsworth, IL
Whether you just need a faucet swapped out or a full plumbing rough-in for a complete kitchen overhaul, we’ve got you covered. Projects might involve hooking up a new disposal or dishwasher or more involved work like relocating the sink, running gas lines for new appliances, installing prep sinks or pot fillers. Depending on what’s involved, we’ll advise on cost, schedule, and any permits that may be needed. Handling all that is part of our job.
My best tip? Bring us in early—ideally before cabinets are installed. If you’re moving the sink, we need access to the subfloor to reroute drains and vents. Installing a gas line for a new stove or island cooktop is also a pre-cabinet project. Pot filler faucet installation requires opening the wall behind your stove, so it’s far simpler before backsplash tile goes in. Planning ahead with a plumber helps avoid delays down the line.
We also do stand-alone repairs and installations like faucet replacements, garbage disposal servicing, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installs, no remodel required. Remodeling is a good chance to check if your water heater can handle new appliances and to have any slow kitchen drains cleared before cabinets go back in. Call us at 224-537-0131 for help with any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install every sink style: undermount (we coordinate with your countertop fabricator), drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes drain baskets, strainers, P-traps, and connecting water supplies using durable braided stainless steel lines rather than brittle plastic. We also handle garbage disposal installation during the same visit when needed.
For faucets, we install all configurations—single-hole, three-hole, with deck plates—and thoroughly test the setup for leaks before finishing the job. Moving a sink to a different spot is a bigger task involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and extending supply lines, all done with the proper permits and inspections. We’re familiar with the local codes and handle everything from start to finish.
Dishwasher and Other Appliance Hookups
Hooking up a dishwasher means connecting hot water, routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and confirming the electrical supply is suitable (we coordinate with electricians as needed). For fridge ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines that are properly supported and fitted with accessible shutoff valves behind the appliance.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we add a separate faucet on the sink deck, connect supply and waste lines, and advise on ongoing filter maintenance. Call us at 224-537-0131 for expert appliance plumbing connections.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Changing from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop? We run gas lines sized to your stove’s BTU requirements, route from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, and connect using code-approved flexible connectors. We pressure test the line and handle any permits and inspections required. See our gas line services page for full details.
If you’re adding a gas line to an island or a new appliance location, plan this before cabinets go in. It’s a lot harder to route gas lines after cabinetry is installed. We recommend talking to your GC and us early in your kitchen design process to coordinate.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall behind your stove makes filling pots easy without lugging them across the kitchen. It needs a cold water supply line routed inside the wall about 56-60 inches up and slightly off the center of the stove. This is simplest with open walls during a remodel, but we can also install pot fillers in finished kitchens with some wall cutting and patching. Give us a call to discuss what’s best for your home.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Island sinks present a challenge because they can’t tie into a wall vent stack the usual way. Instead, they require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on your local code. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor and back up into the cabinet takes careful planning. We’ve installed many island sinks in Wadsworth homes and can guide you through the best setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing
Yes, but it’s one of the more involved plumbing tasks. Island sinks need special venting, either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), since there’s no wall vent nearby. Running supply lines is simple enough, but the drain and vent need careful routing through the floor. We’ve done lots of these in Wadsworth and can help you plan it right. Give us a call at 224-537-0131 before finalizing your kitchen design.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same spot—like faucets, disposals, or hooking up a dishwasher—usually no permit is required. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas lines, or making layout changes, permits and inspections are mandatory. We take care of all permitting and inspection scheduling for you.
Yes, this is best done during a remodel with open walls. We handle gas lines for stoves, ovens, and cooktops—including correct pipe sizing, pressure testing, and getting permits. Make sure to schedule your gas line rough-in ahead of cabinet installation for a smooth process.
