Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services in Mchenry, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen plumbing overhaul, we cover it all. This might mean swapping out fixtures and hooking up disposals and dishwashers in an afternoon, or running new drains and gas lines for island sinks and cooktops over several days. Job size impacts cost, schedule, and permit needs — but whatever you require, our team takes care of it.
When planning your remodel, I recommend bringing us in early — before cabinets get installed. Moving a sink means rerouting drain and vent lines, which is easiest when subfloors and walls are exposed. Gas line work for ranges or islands must be roughed in before cabinetry. Pot filler installs require opening the wall behind your stove, far simpler before tile backsplashes go up. Scheduling plumbing first saves headaches down the road.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing needs outside remodels — faucet replacements, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or fridge water line installs. If you’re upgrading appliances, it’s smart to check your water heater’s capacity too, especially with our Illinois winters and summer heat demanding reliable hot water. Slow kitchen drains? We clear those as well. Call us at 779-244-6939 for all your kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services Include
Sink & Faucet Setup
We install every type of kitchen sink — undermount, farmhouse, drop-in, single or double bowls, prep sinks — coordinating with your countertop as needed. Our sink installs cover everything: drain assembly, strainers, P-traps, and secure hot/cold supply with durable braided stainless steel lines, not outdated plastic tubing prone to leaks. When needed, we also fit garbage disposals during the same visit, ensuring proper electrical and plumbing connections.
Faucet installs are no problem, whether for single-hole mounts, three-hole setups, or deck plates — all fully pressure-tested. If you want to relocate your sink, we handle the more complex job of moving drain lines, vents, and supply piping, securing permits and inspections necessary for code compliance.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Connecting your dishwasher means installing hot water supply lines, routing drain hoses with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and confirming electric requirements with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or stainless piping, complete with an accessible shutoff valve behind the unit.
Beyond appliances, we connect instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO setups, we drill dedicated sink deck holes for faucets, hook up supply and drain lines, and guide you on maintenance. Reach out to 779-244-6939 for any appliance plumbing in your kitchen.
Gas Lines for Cooking Appliances
Planning to replace electric stoves with gas, or add a cooktop in your island? We install all gas line rough-ins — sizing pipe for your appliance’s BTU needs, running it from your gas meter or existing line, installing shutoff valves, connecting with approved flexible connectors, and pressure testing everything. Permits and inspections are part of our complete service to keep your home safe and code-compliant.
Important note: gas lines to islands or new range locations must be installed prior to cabinetry. Trying to route gas piping after cabinets are set can be messy and costly. Coordinate early with your general contractor and our team to avoid delays.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your stove adds serious convenience for filling pots without carrying water across the kitchen. Installation requires running a cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches off the floor, roughly four inches from the range center. This is straightforward during renovations with open walls, but we also carefully add pot fillers in finished kitchens, minimizing wall damage and restoring surfaces after.
Contact us at 779-244-6939 to discuss the best approach for your home.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Installing a sink in a kitchen island requires special venting since it won’t connect to a typical wall vent stack. We use an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) depending on local rules. Running hot and cold supply lines is straightforward, but routing drains and vents beneath the floor and back up through the island cabinet needs expert planning. We’re familiar with these challenges and can help design your island plumbing for smooth operation.

Kitchen Remodeling Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, moving the sink to an island is common but more involved. Island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) because there's no nearby wall vent. Running water supply is straightforward but routing the drain and venting through the floor takes careful planning. We’ve installed many island sinks — call 779-244-6939 to review your layout before finalizing it.
If you’re simply replacing fixtures like faucets or disposals in the same spot, permits usually aren’t needed. But if the job involves rerouting drain lines, installing new supply lines, working on gas connections, or changing the layout, permits and inspections are required. We take care of all permitting and inspection coordination for you.
