Kitchen Plumbing Services in Burlington, IL
Whether you’re just updating a faucet or tackling a full kitchen renovation, plumbing tasks vary widely. Simple jobs like swapping out faucets or hooking up a new disposal can be done in a few hours. Larger remodels—moving sinks, adding gas lines, or prepping for islands with pot fillers—take more time and planning. Permits may be needed depending on the work involved, and we’re here to manage all of that for you.
Calling us early in your project is smart. Plumbing work like sink relocations and gas line installs needs to happen before cabinetry and finishes go in. For example, if you’re moving a sink, the drain and supply lines have to be accessible—usually before flooring or subfloor is covered. Installing a gas line for a cooktop or range is best done with the walls open so the routing is clean and efficient. Pot fillers require opening the wall behind your stove, which is far easier before backsplash tile is installed. Scheduling plumbing early keeps your project on track and reduces costly rework.
We also offer standalone kitchen plumbing services if you’re not remodeling: faucet swaps, disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water line installs. Plus, remodeling is a good time to make sure your water heater is up to the task for new appliances, and to clear out slow drains before cabinets hide the pipes. Just give us a call at 224-490-1812.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We install all types of kitchen sinks: undermount (coordinating with countertop fabricators), drop-in, farmhouse styles, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our work includes assembling the drain basket, strainer, and P-trap, plus hooking up braided stainless steel supply lines rather than the brittle plastic ones. When needed, we also install garbage disposals on the same service call.
Faucet installs cover every mounting style—single hole, multiple holes, deck plate setups—and we pressure test all connections to avoid leaks. Moving the sink location is a bigger job involving drain and vent rerouting plus supply line extensions. We handle permits and inspections to keep everything compliant.
Dishwasher & Appliance Water Connections
Hooking up dishwashers involves connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with an air gap or high loop (to prevent backflow), and verifying the power supply with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines with proper shutoffs, using copper or braided stainless steel.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis setups. RO systems get a dedicated faucet through the sink deck, connected supply and waste lines, and maintenance advice. Call us to set up any kitchen appliance water line.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas cooking or adding a cooktop in an island? We install gas lines sized correctly for your appliance’s BTU rating. We run the pipe from the closest gas main, install shutoff valves, connect with flexible, code-approved fittings, and pressure test for safety. Permits and inspections are handled by our team.
Remember: gas line installation must be done before cabinets go in, especially for island setups. Trying to add or reroute gas lines after cabinetry is a headache and costly. Plan ahead with your builder and let us know early.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounts on the wall near your stove to fill large pots without lugging them from the sink. This requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and offset slightly from the stove center. It’s straightforward if done during remodeling with walls open, but we can also add pot fillers in finished kitchens with some wall repair afterward.
Island Sink Plumbing & Drain Venting
Installing a sink on a kitchen island demands special venting because there’s no wall nearby for a standard vent pipe. Options include an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. We run hot and cold supply lines from the nearest main and plan drain and vent piping carefully through floors and subfloors. We’ve handled island sinks across many Burlington homes and can help you design a compliant system.

Tips on Kitchen Plumbing Schedule
- Confirm sink placement before demolition: Moving sinks is the largest plumbing expense; lock down location early.
- Run gas lines prior to cabinet installation: Gas piping must be roughed in before cabinetry is installed.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash tile: Wall access is much easier before tiling.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while pipes are exposed: Old gate valves fail; swap for ball valves during remodel.
- Set up refrigerator water lines before countertops: Easier routing before countertops go in.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Questions
Yes, but it’s more complex than a standard sink move because island sinks require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or air admittance valve (AAV). Supply lines are easier to run, but drain and vent pipes need careful planning through the floor. We do this work often—call us to review your island plans before you finalize the design.
If you’re just swapping out fixtures in the same spot, usually no permit is required. But for any drain rerouting, new water supply lines, gas piping, or layout changes, permits are mandatory. We handle all permitting and inspection coordination for you.
Definitely. Installing gas lines during a remodel is ideal since the walls are open. We size the piping correctly, run the line safely, perform pressure tests, and pull permits. Schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
