Reliable Kitchen Plumbing Upgrades in Geneva, IL
Kitchen plumbing projects can be anything from a quick faucet swap, disposal installation, or dishwasher hookup to a more extensive job like relocating your sink to an island, installing a new gas line for your stove, adding a prep sink in the pantry, or roughing in a pot filler faucet. The size of the job impacts the cost, timeline, and whether permits are needed. No matter the challenge, our team covers it all.
Here’s my advice: bring a plumber on board early — ideally before your cabinets are installed. Moving a sink? The drain reroute has to be done when the subfloor is exposed. Adding a new gas line for an island cooktop? That rough-in happens before any cabinetry goes up. Pot filler faucet installation requires opening the wall behind the range, so it's much easier before tile or backsplash work. Early scheduling keeps your kitchen remodel on track and avoids headaches down the road.
We also take on kitchen plumbing repairs or upgrades outside remodels — like faucet replacements, disposal maintenance, refrigerator water line installation, and dishwasher hookups. Kitchen remodels are also a great time to make sure your water heater can handle extra load and nip any slow drain issues before new cabinetry traps the problem. Just give us a ring at 331-265-7934.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installations
We work with all sink styles: undermount sinks (we coordinate with your countertop installer for cutouts), drop-in models, farmhouse/apron-front, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes assembling the drain basket, strainers, P-trap, and connecting braided stainless steel supply lines — none of that old plastic tubing that fails quickly. We install and hook up garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we handle every type and configuration — 1-hole, 3-hole, or deck-mounted with plate. After installation, we pressure-test connections to guarantee no leaks. Moving the sink to a new spot? That’s a full project involving drain rerouting, vent work, and supply line relocation, which we manage all with necessary permits.
Dishwasher & Appliance Plumbing
Dishwasher connections include running hot water supply lines, properly routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and making sure the electrical feed is adequate (we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we install dedicated cold water lines made of copper or braided stainless, securely mounted with a shutoff valve accessible behind the fridge.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units. RO installation involves mounting a separate faucet, connecting supply and waste lines, and providing filter maintenance guidance. Reach out at 331-265-7934 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Whether you’re switching from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop in a new island, we handle the entire gas line installation. This includes sizing the pipe for your appliance's BTUs, running the line from the meter or existing supply, installing shutoff valves, using code-compliant flexible connectors, pressure testing, and managing permits and inspections. See our gas line services page for more details.
Planning tip: run new gas lines before cabinets go in. Trying to route a gas pipe after cabinetry is in place leads to costly and messy work. Coordinate with your contractor and us early for smooth installation.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler faucet mounted on the wall above your stove saves you from lugging heavy pots filled with water around the kitchen. It requires a cold water line inside the wall, usually about 56 to 60 inches high and slightly offset from the stove center. Installing this during a remodel is easiest since walls are open. We can also install pot fillers in finished kitchens, but that means cutting into walls and patching afterward. Call us at 331-265-7934 to talk through your options.
Island Sink Plumbing & Venting
Island sinks are more complicated due to venting. Since you can’t vent through a typical wall stack, we use an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drains and vents through the floor requires careful planning. With Geneva winters, having reliable plumbing with proper venting is key to avoiding freeze-ups. We handle island sink plumbing routinely — let’s discuss your layout before you sign off on your plans.

Tips for Scheduling Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink spot before demo: Moving the sink involves rerouting drains and supply lines — more expensive and tricky, so lock in placement early.
- Gas line rough-in before cabinets: Running gas lines to new locations must be done prior to cabinet installation.
- Pot filler faucet before backsplash: Opening walls behind the stove to run lines is easiest before tile or backsplash is installed.
- Upgrade shutoffs while accessible: Replace old gate valves with ball valves during plumbing work for better reliability.
- Run fridge water line before counters: Ice maker connections get much simpler before countertops are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
Yes, it is possible, but it’s one of the more complicated plumbing changes because island sinks require specialized venting solutions such as an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Running supply lines is straightforward, but the drainage and venting paths need careful planning.

For minor work like replacing a faucet, disposal, or reconnecting a dishwasher in the same spot, permits usually aren’t required. But if you're rerouting drains, running new supply lines, installing gas piping, or changing the kitchen layout, then a permit and inspection are necessary. We handle all the permit paperwork and scheduling for you.
