Reliable Kitchen Plumbing in Matteson, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a complete kitchen overhaul involving sink relocation, new gas lines, or pot filler installations, we’ve got the skills and experience to get it done right. The job size affects the price, timing, and whether permits are necessary—but no matter the scale, our team can handle the work.
Here's a tip: reach out to us at 708-734-5822 before cabinet installation. Moving your sink means rerouting drains while the subfloor is exposed. Installing a gas line for your stove or island cooktop must happen before cabinetry goes in. Pot filler faucets require wall access behind the stove, much simpler before backsplashes are set. Scheduling plumbing early keeps your remodel on track and avoids surprises.
Besides remodel projects, we also tackle faucet repairs, garbage disposal servicing, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installations. Remodeling your kitchen is also a good time to check if your water heater can meet new demands or fix slow drains before putting cabinets back. Call us anytime at 708-734-5822.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink and Faucet Setup
We install all kinds of kitchen sinks: undermounts (which need proper countertop cuts), drop-in models, farmhouse-style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Our service covers drain basket assembly, strainers, P-traps, and braided stainless steel supply lines instead of brittle plastic. Garbage disposal installation can be included in the same visit.
For faucets, we manage every style and mounting setup—whether a single hole or multiple holes with a deck plate. Before finishing, we pressure-test all connections. Moving the sink to a new spot involves more work like drain rerouting and vent adjustments—but that's part of our expertise, complete with permits and inspections.
Dishwasher and Other Appliance Hookups
Hooking up your dishwasher means connecting hot water lines and routing the drain correctly with a high loop or air gap to avoid backflow. We check electrical considerations too and can coordinate with your electrician. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install a dedicated cold water line using copper or braided stainless tubing, complete with an accessible shutoff valve behind the unit.
We also install instant hot water dispensers and under-sink water filtration or reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we fit a separate faucet through your countertop, hook up supply and waste lines, and help you keep on top of filter changes. Just call 708-734-5822 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Piping for Kitchen Appliances
Planning to switch from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop in your island? We take care of the gas line installation from sizing the pipe based on your appliance's BTU requirements to routing it safely from your gas meter, including shutoff valves and flexible connectors. We perform pressure tests and arrange all permits and inspections for your peace of mind. Details are available on our gas line services page.
Keep in mind: running new gas lines to islands or relocated appliances needs to be done before cabinetry installation. Retrofitting gas lines afterward is a hassle and messier. Coordinate this early with your GC and us.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
If you want a pot filler above your stove for easy water access, we’ll run a dedicated cold water line inside the wall, typically about 56 to 60 inches off the floor and a few inches from the stove centerline. This is most straightforward during a remodel when walls are open but we can also retrofit finished kitchens carefully with minimal disruption. Give us a call at 708-734-5822 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Plumbing and Drain Venting
Island sinks are trickier because you can’t vent the drain through a wall stack as usual. Instead, island sinks require either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local code. Hot and cold supplies are run from the closest main, but the drain and vent lines must be carefully routed beneath the floor and back up inside the island cabinetry. We have plenty of experience with island setups and can help design the plumbing before you finalize your kitchen plan.

Kitchen Plumbing FAQs
Yes, but this is a more advanced job because island sinks need special venting, like an island loop or an AAV, to keep drains flowing properly. We handle the supply lines easily, but drain venting through the floor takes planning and skill. We do this regularly, so call 708-734-5822 early to talk about your island layout.
If you’re only replacing fixtures in the same location—like faucets or disposals—you usually don’t need a permit. But any work that changes drain lines, adds new supply lines, moves plumbing around, or installs gas lines requires permits. We take care of all permitting and inspections to keep your project in line with local codes.
Definitely. Installing gas lines is safer and easier during a remodel with walls open. We size and install gas piping according to code, test it thoroughly, and handle all permits. Make sure to schedule this before cabinets are installed to avoid costly rework.
