Kitchen Plumbing Solutions Tailored for Frankfort, IL Homes
Whether you're simply swapping out a faucet or planning a major kitchen overhaul that includes moving sinks, adding gas lines, or installing prep sinks, our team has the skills to get the job done right. The complexity will dictate cost and project time, and sometimes permits are part of the process. No matter the scale, we’re ready to assist.
Here’s a tip from me: get your plumber involved early, ideally before the cabinets are installed. If relocating your sink, the drain rerouting must happen while the subfloor is accessible, which saves time and headaches. Adding a gas line for your new stove or an island cooktop? That rough-in needs to happen before cabinetry is set. Pot filler faucet installation requires wall access behind the stove, so best done before your backsplash goes in. Planning ahead with us can keep your remodel on track.
We also handle one-off kitchen plumbing needs — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water lines — even if you're not remodeling. If your water heater is older, a kitchen upgrade is a good moment to check its capacity. Slow drains in kitchen sinks are common here due to grease buildup; we offer drain cleaning to clear that out before you seal up those cabinets again. Pick up the phone and call 708-729-8953 whenever you need help.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services Include
Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle all types of kitchen sinks—undermount, farmhouse-style, drop-in, single or double bowl, even prep sinks. Our installation covers everything from the drain assembly (strainer, basket, P-trap) to connecting hot and cold braided stainless supply lines, which outlast plastic and avoid leaks. Garbage disposal installation fits right into this service, saving time and hassle.
For faucets, we install every configuration, whether single-hole, multi-hole with deck plates, or pull-down sprayers. Before finishing, we pressure test to ensure no leaks. Moving your sink? That involves drain and vent line rerouting and supply extension, all done with the necessary permits and inspections, so you can count on quality and compliance.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers with proper hot water supply and drain lines featuring a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. We check that electrical wiring is adequate, coordinating with electricians when needed. For refrigerator ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated water lines with shutoff valves placed for easy access behind the appliance.
We also install under-sink water filtration and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation and supply/waste line connections. If you want crisp, clean water on demand, call us for reliable setup and maintenance advice.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Whether you're upgrading from electric to gas or adding a cooktop to a new island, we install gas lines sized precisely to your appliance’s BTU requirements. We connect from the main gas line, install shutoff valves, use flexible code-approved connectors, pressure-test the system for safety, and handle all required permits and inspections.
Keep in mind: gas line rough-in must be completed before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework. Coordinate the timing with your contractor and us early in your remodel plans.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove adds real convenience by letting you fill pots without lugging them from the sink. We run a cold water line inside the wall at roughly 56 to 60 inches high and just off-center from the range. This is easiest during remodeling when walls are open, but we also offer retrofit installations with minimal disruption to finished kitchens. Reach out and we’ll assess your setup.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Installing a sink on a kitchen island requires special venting solutions since you can’t tie into a wall vent the usual way. Depending on local code, that means an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Running both supply lines and properly venting the drain through the floor requires precise planning and execution. We’ve done plenty of island sink installations here in the area and can guide you through the process.
