Kitchen Renovation Plumbing Services in Malta, IL
Whether you need a quick faucet swap or a full plumbing rough-in for relocating your sink, installing a gas line, or adding a pot filler faucet, our team knows how to get it done right. The extent of work affects the schedule, cost, and permit needs. No matter the size of the job, we’ve got you covered.
One tip from me: get plumbing involved before your cabinets are installed. Moving your sink means drain and vent rerouting, which you'll want done while floors and walls are accessible. Installing a new gas line for your stove or island cooktop also needs to happen early, before cabinetry goes in. Pot filler faucet installations require wall access behind the range — much easier before backsplash tile is up. Scheduling us early can save you headaches down the road.
We also handle standalone kitchen plumbing jobs like faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs or installs, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator water line connections. Remodeling is a great time to check your water heater’s capacity and clear out any slow drains before your new cabinets go in. Call us at 779-217-8424 for any kitchen plumbing needs.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink and Faucet Installation
We install all styles of kitchen sinks — undermount, drop-in, farmhouse/apron front, single and double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation includes assembling the drain components like strainers, basket drains, and P-traps. Supply lines are connected with durable braided stainless steel to avoid leaks typical of old plastic lines. We also hook up garbage disposals during the same visit if needed.
For faucets, we handle everything — from single hole to three-hole mounts with deck plates. We pressure-test all connections to ensure no drips. Moving your sink to a new spot involves rerouting drains, modifying vents, and extending water lines with permits and inspections, which we handle smoothly.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Hooking up your dishwasher means connecting the hot water supply, routing the drain line with a proper air gap or high loop to prevent backflow, and checking the electrical setup (we coordinate with electricians for that part). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line, using copper or braided stainless steel, properly supported and accessible.
We also install under-sink water filtration, instant hot water taps, and reverse osmosis systems, including faucet installation through the sink deck. If you need help with any kitchen appliance plumbing, call us at 779-217-8424.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Converting from electric to gas or adding a gas cooktop? We install correctly sized gas lines, route piping from your gas meter or existing supply, install shutoff valves, connect with code-approved flexible connectors, pressure test, and handle permits and inspections. Working with us means safe, reliable gas line installation.
Keep in mind, gas line installation must happen before cabinets go in, especially for islands or new appliance locations. It’s much harder and costlier to retrofit later. Coordinate early with us and your general contractor to keep the project on track.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
Pot fillers make cooking easier by letting you fill pots right at your stove. Installing one involves running a dedicated cold water line inside the wall about 56 to 60 inches above the floor and slightly off-center next to the range. This is straightforward with open walls during a remodel, but we can also add pot fillers in finished kitchens with minimal mess. Reach out for a personalized estimate.
Island Sink Plumbing
Installing a sink in a kitchen island comes with unique challenges because the drain can’t vent through traditional wall stacks. We install an island loop vent or an air admittance valve, depending on local code requirements. Running hot and cold water lines is straightforward, but routing the drain and vent through the floor and below the subfloor takes planning and skill. We’ve done many island sinks in the Malta area — call us early to design your setup right.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Finalize sink location early: Moving the sink is the most involved plumbing change — lock it in before demolition.
- Complete gas line installation before cabinets: Running new gas lines under cabinets after installation is tough and costly.
- Install pot filler before backsplash: Wall access is easier before tile or backsplash goes up.
- Upgrade shutoff valves while exposed: Replace aging gate valves with ball valves when pipes are accessible.
- Run fridge water line before countertops: Easier to route ice maker lines before counters are in place.
Kitchen Remodel Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, though it’s one of the more complex plumbing moves because island sinks need special venting solutions like loop vents or air admittance valves. Running the water supply is straightforward, but drain and vent routing require careful design. We’ve installed many island sinks around Malta—call us early to plan properly.
For simple fixture swaps in the same spot—usually not. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new supply lines, installing gas piping, or changing the kitchen layout, permits are required. We manage the permit process and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Absolutely. Installing gas lines during a remodel is best since walls and floors are open. We handle sizing, installation, testing, permitting, and inspections for gas lines serving ranges, cooktops, and ovens. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinetry installation.
