Kitchen Plumbing Upgrades in Marseilles, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul, our team covers it all. From connecting new disposals and dishwashers to relocating sinks to kitchen islands and installing gas lines for cooking ranges, the project size and complexity affect the price and permit requirements. No matter the scope, we’ve got the know-how to get the job done right.
My advice? Bring your plumber into the project early—before cabinetry is installed. If the sink moves, rerouting the drain and vent lines needs open access to the subfloor. Gas line installations for island cooktops or new ranges should happen before counters and cabinets go in. Adding a pot filler means cutting into the wall behind the stove, which is easiest if done before backsplash tile. Scheduling plumbing work early helps keep your remodel on track and avoids pricey delays.
We also take service calls for single kitchen plumbing tasks — faucet installs, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line setups — even if you’re not remodeling. It’s a great time to check your water heater’s capacity with your new appliances or clear any slow drains before your cabinets go back in. Reach out to us anytime at 779-382-2518.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle all kitchen sink styles—from undermount that needs careful countertop cutting, to farmhouse aprons, drop-in, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our installation includes assembling drains, strainers, and P-traps. We use braided stainless steel supply lines for durability, not the brittle plastic hoses you often see. When needed, we’ll install garbage disposals during the same visit for a clean, efficient setup.
For faucets, we manage every mounting option—single-hole, three-hole, or deck-mounted—and test water flow and leaks thoroughly. Moving your sink to a new location is a bigger job: we’ll reroute drain lines, adjust vent piping, extend supply lines, and handle permits and inspections to make sure everything’s up to code.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Connecting your dishwasher involves hooking up hot water supply lines, installing drain hoses with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent contamination, and inspecting the electrical setup (which we coordinate with electricians). For ice makers and water dispensers in refrigerators, we run dedicated cold water lines made of copper or stainless braid, complete with accessible shutoff valves behind the appliance.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. That includes drilling faucet holes, tying in supply and waste lines, and walking you through filter maintenance. Call us at 779-382-2518 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop in your island? We size and install gas lines based on the appliance’s BTU rating, run piping from your meter or main line, add shutoff valves, connect appliances with approved flexible connectors, and pressure test the system. We handle all permits and inspections required by the city.
A key tip: gas line rough-in must be done before cabinetry goes in. Trying to snake gas lines after cabinets are installed is disruptive and costly. Plan this early with your general contractor and us to keep your remodel moving smoothly.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove lets you fill pots without lugging them from the sink. Installation requires running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor, just to the side of the range. This is most straightforward during a remodel when walls are open, but we can also retrofit them in finished kitchens with minimal patchwork. Give us a call at 779-382-2518 to explore options for your kitchen.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks are trickier than typical wall-mounted ones because the drain can’t connect to a wall vent directly. Instead, we install an island vent loop or an air admittance valve (AAV), based on local code. Hot and cold supply lines run from the nearest main, but routing the drain and vent through the floor and subfloor to the island cabinet requires precise planning. We’ve done plenty of island sink installations and can advise on the best setup for your layout.

Helpful Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Moving a sink is the biggest plumbing expense—lock this in before ordering cabinets.
- Install gas lines before cabinetry: Gas piping for islands or new stove spots must be roughed in early.
- Pot fillers installed pre-backsplash: Wall access is much easier before tiling the backsplash.
- Replace old shutoffs while pipes are exposed: Replace gate valves with ball valves to avoid future leaks.
- Install fridge water lines ahead of countertops: Running ice maker lines is simpler before countertops are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, but it’s a more involved process than just swapping fixtures. Island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) since they’re not near a wall stack. Running supply lines is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor takes planning. We’ve installed many island sinks, so call us at 779-382-2518 before finalizing your kitchen design.
It depends on the scope. Simple fixture swaps like faucets or disposals generally don’t need permits. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new water lines, or installing gas pipes, permits and inspections are required. We handle the paperwork and scheduling to keep your project compliant.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines during a remodel is ideal since walls are open for easy access. We size and install piping to code, pressure test it, and manage permitting. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets and counters are installed to avoid costly rework.
