Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing in Harvey, IL
Whether you’re swapping out a faucet and hooking up a disposal or completely rerouting plumbing for a new kitchen layout, we’ve got you covered. From quick fixes to extensive rough-ins including sink relocation, gas line installation, or pot filler hookups, our team handles all phases . The project size affects cost, timing, and permit needs, and we’ll guide you through every step.
Here’s a pro tip: get your plumber involved before the cabinets go in. If the sink is moving, drain lines must be rerouted while you have access to the subfloor. Gas lines for new ranges or islands need to be roughed in prior to cabinetry. Pot filler installs are much simpler before backsplash tiles are up. Scheduling us early helps keep your kitchen remodel on track, which is especially practical with Harvey’s older homes needing some extra groundwork.
Besides remodels, we perform kitchen plumbing repairs and installations like faucet swaps, disposal servicing, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installs for everyday needs. While you’re upgrading your kitchen, it’s a good idea to check your water heater’s capacity as well. Got slow drains? We can clear those before the new cabinets go back in. Just give us a call at 708-960-8139.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Setup
We install all sink styles: undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. The install includes all drain components like the strainer, basket, and P-trap, plus properly connecting supply lines with braided stainless steel tubing instead of brittle plastic. Garbage disposal installation is often done at the same time to save you hassle.
For faucets, we handle any type and configuration — single hole, three holes with deck plates, you name it. We pressure-test all connections to ensure leak-free operation. Moving a sink to a new spot is more involved and requires drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and supply line extension. We take care of all permits and inspections for these larger projects.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Hooking up your dishwasher means connecting hot water supply, routing the drain with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and checking the electric supply (we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines using copper or braided stainless tubing with accessible shutoff valves behind the unit.
We also install under-sink instant hot water taps, water filtration, and reverse osmosis (RO) systems. For RO, we put in the separate faucet and connect supply and drain lines, plus explain maintenance details for filter changes. Call us anytime for appliance water line installations.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Planning a switch to gas cooking, or adding a cooktop on an island? We’ll size and run gas lines from your meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with approved flexible connectors, and pressure test the system to ensure safety. We handle permits and inspections to keep the work compliant and safe. Check our gas line services page for full info.
Heads up: any gas line rough-in should happen before cabinets are installed. Running gas lines after cabinetry is in place is tricky and requires more labor. Work with us and your contractor early on to plan this step.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers mount on the wall behind your stove to fill pots without lugging water across the kitchen. Installing one means running a cold water line inside the wall about 56-60 inches from the floor and roughly 4 inches off the center of the cooktop. This is easiest when walls are open during a remodel, but we can also add pot fillers in finished kitchens with careful wall opening and repair.
Reach out to discuss your kitchen and we’ll tell you the best approach.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Island sinks pose extra plumbing challenges since the drain can’t vent through the usual wall stack. Instead, the drain requires an island loop vent or an air admittance valve depending on local code. We run hot and cold supply lines from the closest source, then route drain and vent piping through the subfloor back up into the island cabinetry. We regularly install island sinks and can walk you through the venting options for your setup.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Finalize sink location before demolition: Moving the sink is the most involved plumbing change — be certain before ordering cabinets
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinets: Gas piping for new ranges or islands must be done early

- Run fridge water lines before countertops: Easier to install ice maker lines before counters are set
Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Definitely. Moving a sink to an island is a bigger job because the drain venting needs special treatment — either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve per local code. The supply lines are straightforward, but the drain routing through the floor requires precision. We’ve done many island sinks in our area and can guide you through the best options. Call us at 708-960-8139 to review your plans.
Simple swaps like faucet or disposal replacement usually don’t need permits. But anytime we reroute drain lines, install new supply plumbing, or work on gas lines, permits are required. We handle all the necessary permit applications and inspections so you don’t have to worry about it.
Yes, running a gas line is best done while walls are open during a remodel. We size the pipe correctly, install shutoffs, make the connection with flexible gas connectors, pressure-test everything, and take care of permits. Plan this phase with us early so the gas rough-in is completed before cabinetry goes in.
We do. We act as the plumbing subcontractor and coordinate our work schedule with your general contractor’s timeline. We also handle permits and inspections required for plumbing work. Give us a call at 708-960-8139 to get on the schedule early.
