Kitchen Plumbing Services for Remodels in Streator, IL
Whether you’re swapping out a faucet, hooking up a new garbage disposal and dishwasher, or tackling a full remodel with sink relocation, gas line additions, or pot filler rough-in, we cover all kitchen plumbing needs. The size of the job affects pricing, scheduling, and permits — but whatever your project demands, we’re ready to handle it professionally.
Give us a call at 779-237-1643 early in your project. Ideally, the plumber should be involved before cabinets are installed. For example, if you’re moving the sink, drain rerouting must happen before the subfloor is covered. Gas lines for new ranges or cooktops should be roughed in before cabinetry goes in. Installing pot fillers means opening walls behind the stove — easier to do before tiling. Planning plumbing early saves a lot of headaches later, especially with Illinois winters limiting work during certain months.
We also handle individual kitchen plumbing repairs and installations outside of full remodels — faucet or fixture replacements, garbage disposal maintenance, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line installation. Remodeling is a perfect time to make sure your water heater can meet increased demand and to clear any slow kitchen drains before everything goes back in place. Call 779-237-1643 for any kitchen plumbing service.
Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing Services
Installing Kitchen Sinks & Faucets
We install all sink styles: undermount (which requires precise countertop work), drop-in, farmhouse/apron-front, single and double bowl, plus prep sinks. Sink jobs include assembling the drain basket, strainer, P-trap, and connecting water supplies. We use braided stainless steel supply lines that last, not cheap plastic hoses that crack. Garbage disposals get installed and connected on the same visit when needed.
Faucet installation covers all styles and mounting setups (one-hole, three-hole, deck plate). We test everything thoroughly to avoid leaks. Moving your sink to a new spot is a bigger job involving rerouting drains and vents — we take care of permits and inspections for that too.
Dishwasher and Other Appliance Plumbing
Dishwasher hookups include connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain hose with a proper high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and confirming the electrical supply is up to code (we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerator ice makers or water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines properly supported, with shutoff valves easily accessible behind the fridge.
We also set up instant hot water taps, under-sink water filters, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation and connections. Got questions? Call 779-237-1643 and we’ll sort it out.
Running Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Switching to gas or adding a cooktop on your island? We install gas lines sized to match the appliance’s BTU demand, routed from the gas meter or existing supply. This includes adding shutoff valves, attaching flexible connectors, pressure testing, and handling the required permits and inspections. Running gas lines after cabinets are installed is a real hassle here in Streator’s older homes — plan ahead and get us involved early.

Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet installs on the wall near your stove and lets you fill pots right at the cooktop without hauling heavy pots around. This requires a cold water line run inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches from the floor and positioned about 4 inches offset from the stove’s center. It’s a straightforward job during remodels with open walls, but can be done in finished kitchens too with some drywall and tile patch work. Call us at 779-237-1643 to discuss your setup.
Island Sink Drain and Vent Solutions
Installing a sink on an island adds complexity because the drain can’t vent through a standard wall stack. To meet code, island sinks require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV), depending on local rules. While water supply lines are straightforward, routing the drain and vent through the floor and back up to the island cabinet takes experience and careful planning. We’re well versed in these challenges and will guide you through the setup before you lock in your design.

Tips for Kitchen Plumbing Timing
- Finalize sink location before demolition: Changing the sink spot is the priciest plumbing part — lock it down before cabinets are ordered.
- Complete gas line rough-in before cabinetry: Gas piping for islands or new range spots must be roughed in first.
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Opening walls for pot filler is much easier before tile work starts.
- Replace old shutoff valves while accessible: Many older gate valves fail; swap them with reliable ball valves during remodels.
- Run refrigerator water lines before countertops: It’s simpler to pull ice maker lines before counters are set.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Plumbing Remodels
Yes, but it’s one of the trickier plumbing jobs. Island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) because there’s no nearby wall stack. Running water supply is easier, but routing the drain under the floor and back up takes skill. We handle these projects regularly, so give us a call at 779-237-1643 to plan your island setup.
Simple fixture swaps like changing faucets or disposals usually don’t. But if your work involves moving drains, adding or rerouting supply lines, or installing gas lines, permits are definitely required. We manage permit applications and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
