Comprehensive Kitchen Remodel Plumbing in Dana, IL
Kitchen plumbing during a remodel can be a quick faucet swap or a full overhaul involving moving sinks, installing gas lines, adding prep sinks, or fitting pot fillers. The extent of work affects cost, schedule, and permit needs. We’re ready for all scopes and ensure everything meets code.
Give us a call at 779-217-8825 early in your project. Plumbing is best coordinated before cabinet installation. For example, relocating sinks requires drain access when the subfloor is open. Gas line installation must happen before cabinets go in. Pot fillers need wall access behind the stove before backsplash goes in. Starting early helps avoid costly delays in Dana’s seasonal building schedules.
We also handle straightforward kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades like faucet replacements, garbage disposal servicing, dishwasher hookups, and water line installations without remodeling. Remodeling is a perfect chance to inspect your water heater for capacity and clear any slow drains ahead of closing walls. Reach out at 779-217-8825 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our installation includes fitting drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and supply lines with durable braided stainless steel connections. We also install garbage disposals alongside sink services to make the process smooth.
For faucets, we handle every configuration — single or multi-hole setups, deck plates, and all faucet styles. We pressure-test everything before completion. Moving sinks to new spots is more involved but within our expertise, including rerouting drains, adjusting venting, and extending supply lines with proper permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups
We connect dishwashers by tying into hot water lines and routing drain hoses with high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow. We also check with your electrician to confirm power connections comply. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated water lines with shutoff valves installed behind the unit.
Additional appliance plumbing we provide includes instant hot water dispensers and under-sink water filtration or reverse osmosis systems. We install dedicated faucets for filtration systems and help with ongoing maintenance advice. Call 779-217-8825 for any appliance connection questions.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop? We install gas lines sized for your appliance’s BTU rating, run piping from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with flexible connectors, and conduct thorough pressure tests. We take care of permits and inspections to keep your kitchen safe and code-compliant.
Important: gas line installation must be finished before cabinet installation to avoid complex and costly rerouting later. We recommend scheduling this early in your remodel so your general contractor can plan accordingly.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet adds convenience by letting you fill large pots right at the stove. Installation requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and close to the cooking surface. This is easiest during framing or drywall phases but can also be retrofitted in finished kitchens with careful wall work. Reach out to discuss your options.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Installing a sink in a kitchen island isn’t straightforward due to venting challenges. Island sinks require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Supply lines are easy enough, but routing the drain through the floor and properly venting requires experience. We’ve done plenty of island sink installations and can guide your layout to code compliance.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Set sink location early: Moving sinks is the priciest plumbing change, so lock down placement before demo or cabinetry orders.
- Gas lines first: Rough in any gas piping for ranges or islands before cabinets are installed.
- Pot fillers ahead of backsplash: Opening walls is much easier before tile goes up.
- Upgrade shutoff valves: Swap brittle gate valves for ball valves while plumbing is exposed to prevent future leaks.
- Refrigerator water lines: Run ice maker lines before countertops are installed for smoother installs.
