Professional Kitchen Remodeling Plumbing Services in Peru, IL
Kitchen plumbing for remodels can be a quick swap—like installing a new faucet, connecting a garbage disposal, or hooking up a dishwasher—or more involved, such as moving your sink to a kitchen island, adding a gas line for your stove, or roughing in an extra prep sink or pot filler. The size and complexity of your job influence cost, duration, and permit needs. We manage every step with precision.
My recommendation: get a plumber involved early in your project timeline—before your cabinets are installed. If you plan to move the sink, the drain lines need to be rerouted while the floor is still open. Installing a gas line for a stove or cooktop also must happen prior to cabinetry installation. A pot filler faucet requires access to the wall behind your stove, which is far easier before backsplash tile goes up. Planning ahead with your plumber ensures fewer delays during your remodel.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing services outside of remodels—like replacing faucets, servicing garbage disposals, connecting dishwashers, or installing refrigerator water lines. Remodeling is a great chance to check if your water heater can meet increased demand or to resolve any slow draining sinks before cabinets hide the plumbing. Reach out at 815-998-5604 for expert advice and service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We fit all types of kitchen sinks—undermount (coordinating with your countertop cutout), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowls, prep sinks, you name it. Our work includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and securely connecting the hot and cold braided stainless water lines—no outdated plastic around here. If you’re adding a garbage disposal, we install and connect that in the same visit for convenience.
For faucets, we handle all mounting styles—whether 1-hole, 3-hole, or deck-plate setups—and perform thorough pressure testing to ensure a leak-free finish. Planning to relocate the sink? We take care of the full rerouting of drains, vents, and supply lines, including pulling the necessary permits and scheduling inspections.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
We take care of the dishwasher supply line and drain, making sure the drain hose has the proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow. While electrical work is handled by an electrician, we coordinate with them to ensure everything is ready for your new appliance. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
Additional services include installing instant hot water dispensers and under-sink water filtration or reverse osmosis (RO) systems. For RO units, we’ll set up the special faucet on your sink, connect the supply and drain lines, and advise on routine filter changes. Call 815-998-5604 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Thinking about switching to gas or adding a cooktop on a kitchen island? We expertly size and install gas lines to your new appliance location, running piping from your meter or main supply and installing shutoff valves and flexible connectors. Every line is pressure tested and installed per code, with permits and inspections handled by us. Visit our gas line services page for more details.
Important: Gas line work has to be completed before cabinets and countertops are in place. Running gas lines afterward means tearing into existing finishes, which is expensive and disruptive. Discuss your plans early with your contractor and our team to avoid headaches.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet, mounted on the wall above your stove, saves you from lugging heavy pots across the kitchen. We run the cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and roughly 4 inches off the range’s centerline. This is a straightforward job if done during remodeling when walls are open. Installing in a finished kitchen requires careful wall opening, patching, and touch-ups. Give us a call at 815-998-5604 to see what fits your situation.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Planning
Installing a sink in a kitchen island takes extra know-how since it can’t vent like a traditional wall sink drain. We set up an island loop vent or install an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local code. Running the supply lines to the island is straightforward, but the drain and vent route has to be planned carefully through the floor and subfloor. We’ve handled many island sinks in the Chicagoland suburbs and can guide you through the best approach for your Peru home’s layout.

Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s one of the more involved plumbing jobs in a kitchen remodel. Island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) since they’re not near a wall vent stack. The water supply lines are simpler to run, but the drain and vent piping needs careful planning and installation. We’ve done many of these in the Chicagoland suburbs, so call us at 815-998-5604 to talk through your plans before you finalize your kitchen layout.
If you’re just swapping fixtures in the same spot—like faucet replacement or disposal hookup—you probably won’t need a permit. But if you’re rerouting drains, installing new supply lines, or adding gas lines, permits and inspections are required by code. We take care of the entire permitting process as part of our service.
Yes, and it’s best done during a remodel when walls are open. We install properly sized, pressure-tested gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens along with shutoff valves. We handle all the permits and inspections needed. Make sure to schedule your gas line work before your cabinets go in to avoid costly changes later.
Definitely. We often serve as the plumbing subcontractor on kitchen remodels. We coordinate our timing with your general contractor and designers to fit plumbing rough-in and finish work into the project schedule, and handle all permit coordination smoothly. Call 815-998-5604 early to ensure we’re on board from the start.
