Expert Kitchen Plumbing for Remodels in Minonk, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap, a new disposal hookup, or a full kitchen plumbing rough-in that might take several days—including relocating the sink to a kitchen island, installing gas lines for cooking appliances, or putting in a prep sink and pot filler—our team covers it all. Your project scope will guide timing, cost, and permit requirements, and we make sure it’s done right.
My recommendation? Call us at 309-461-2861 early in your project. Plumbing work should happen before cabinets go in. If you’re moving the sink, drain lines have to be rerouted while the subfloor is still open. Gas line installs for ranges or cooktops need to be roughed in before cabinetry shows up. Pot filler faucets require wall access behind the stove, best done before tile or backsplash is installed. Getting plumbing scheduled early helps avoid delays down the road.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing repairs and upgrades outside of remodels: faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs or installations, dishwasher hook-ups, refrigerator water line installs, and more. It’s a good time to check your water heater capacity and resolve any slow-drain issues before cabinets seal everything up. Call 309-461-2861 anytime for expert advice and service.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Installation
We handle all sink styles: undermount (coordinating with your countertop installer), drop-in, farmhouse, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Our work includes assembling the drain basket and strainer, fitting the P-trap, and attaching the supply lines with durable braided stainless steel. We also install and hook up garbage disposals as part of the job.
For faucets, we install every type and handle any mounting setup—whether it’s a single hole, three holes, or deck plate. We pressure test everything before we leave. Moving a sink to a new spot requires more work—rerouting drains, vents, and supply lines—and we take care of permits and inspections for that scope as well.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Dishwasher installations include connecting a hot water supply line and routing the drain hose with a proper air gap or high loop to prevent backflow. We’ll also check if the electrical supply is ready, though you’ll need an electrician for wiring. For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines using copper or braided stainless tubing, complete with shutoff valves accessible behind the fridge.
We install under-sink water filtration systems, instant hot water dispensers, and reverse osmosis units. For RO systems, we’ll put in the dedicated faucet on your sink, hook up supply and drain lines, and guide you on filter maintenance. Give us a call at 309-461-2861 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Line Installation for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to a gas stove or adding a cooktop? We run the gas line sized to your appliance’s BTU requirements, route pipe from your gas meter or existing line, install shut-off valves, connect appliances with code-approved flex connectors, pressure test the system, and handle permits and inspections. Check our gas line services page for more details.
Important: gas line rough-in must be completed before cabinets go in. Waiting until afterward makes the job much trickier and disruptive. Coordinate your project’s gas line needs with us and your contractor early to keep your remodel on schedule.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above your range lets you fill large pots right at the stove, saving trips back and forth to the sink. We run a cold water supply line in the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and roughly 4 inches from the stove center. This is straightforward during a remodel when walls are open, but we also install pot fillers in finished kitchens with careful wall access and patching. Call 309-461-2861 to go over your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Installation
Island sinks require special venting solutions because you can’t connect the drain to the typical wall vent stack. We install either an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local codes. Running hot and cold water supply lines to the island is straightforward, but routing drains through the floor and returning vents inside the island cabinet is more complex. We’ve done this many times in our area — reach out before finalizing your island plumbing plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Lock in sink location before demo: Sink moves are costly; decide before ordering cabinets.
- Complete gas line rough-in early: Gas piping has to be installed before cabinetry is set.
- Install pot fillers before backsplash: Accessing walls is easier before tile or backsplash goes in.

- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: Easier to do when counters aren’t yet installed.
Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing
It sure is. Island sinks are a bit trickier because their drains require special venting solutions like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV). Water supply lines are easier to run, but the drain and vent routing under the floor need careful planning. We've installed plenty of island sinks here in Minonk—call us at 309-461-2861 to talk through your layout before you commit.
For straightforward replacements like faucet swaps, garbage disposal installs, or dishwasher hookups in the same location, usually not. But any work involving drain rerouting, new water supply lines, gas line installation, or changing plumbing locations will require permits. We handle all permitting and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines for stoves, cooktops, or ovens is something we do regularly. We size the piping safely, pressure test, and secure the necessary permits. It’s best to schedule gas rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid headaches later. Check out our gas line services page for more info.
