Kitchen Plumbing for Remodels in Bristol, IL
Whether it’s a quick faucet swap or a full kitchen overhaul, kitchen plumbing projects come in all shapes and sizes. We handle everything from installing a new disposal and dishwasher hookups to running gas lines for ranges and prepping for pot filler faucets. If you’re relocating sinks or adding new fixtures, these jobs take more planning and time, often with permits involved — but we take care of all of it.
Planning tip: Get your plumber involved early, ideally before cabinetry installation begins. If you’re moving the sink, we need access to the subfloor to reroute drains. Gas lines for new appliances must be roughed in before cabinets go up. Pot filler faucets require wall access behind the stove, so it’s easier before backsplash tile is installed. Scheduling plumbing early helps avoid delays in your project timeline.
We also cover routine kitchen plumbing needs outside remodels — faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, refrigerator water lines — whatever your kitchen requires. Plus, we can evaluate whether your water heater can handle extra demand from new appliances and tackle any slow drains before your cabinets get installed. Just give us a call at 331-216-0878.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Sink & Faucet Installation
We fit all kitchen sinks—undermount with careful countertop coordination, drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowls, and prep sinks. Installation covers drain assembly, strainers, P-traps, and water supply connections. We use braided stainless steel lines for durability, not the older plastic ones that crack. Garbage disposal installation is included when part of the job.
For faucets, we handle any style and mounting setup, like single-hole or 3-hole with deck plates. We pressure-test everything to guarantee no leaks. Moving a sink’s location is a bigger job involving drain rerouting, vent adjustments, and extending supply lines. We handle permits and inspections for those projects, too.
Dishwasher & Appliance Hookups
Connecting your dishwasher means hooking up a hot water line, routing the drain hose with a high loop or air gap to prevent backflow, and ensuring the electric circuit is up to code (we coordinate with electricians). For refrigerators with ice makers or water dispensers, we run a dedicated cold water line using copper or braided stainless steel, complete with accessible shutoff valves.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink filtration, and reverse osmosis systems. For RO units, we add a dedicated faucet, connect supply and drain lines, and guide you on filter care. Call us at 331-216-0878 for any appliance plumbing needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Upgrading from electric to gas or installing a gas cooktop? We size the gas pipe according to BTU requirements, run it from your meter or existing line, install shutoff valves, connect appliances with approved flexible connectors, and conduct thorough pressure testing. We ensure all work meets code and take care of permits and inspections. Check our gas line services for more details.
Important: Gas line rough-in must happen prior to cabinet installation, especially for islands. Retrofitting gas lines after cabinetry is difficult and disruptive. Coordinate with your general contractor and us early to avoid headaches.
Pot Filler Faucet Installation
A pot filler faucet mounted above the stove lets you fill pots right where you cook. This requires running a cold water supply line inside the wall around 56–60 inches from the floor and offset slightly from the range’s center. It’s straightforward during remodels when walls are open, but possible in finished kitchens with some wall patching and repainting. Call 331-216-0878 to go over your options.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Plumbing an island sink presents unique challenges because you can’t vent the drain the usual way through an exterior wall. We install island loop vents or air admittance valves (code-dependent) to keep drains flowing smoothly. Hot and cold supply lines run from nearest mains, but drain and vent lines require careful routing beneath the subfloor and back up to the cabinet base. We’ve done plenty of island plumbing—call us to plan yours properly.

Frequently Asked Kitchen Plumbing Questions
Yes, but it’s one of the trickiest plumbing changes you can make. The drain and vent system for an island sink requires special setups like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve to keep everything draining properly. While running water supply is straightforward, the drain routing under the floor needs careful design. We’ve done many island sink installs—call us to review your kitchen design before finalizing it.
For simple replacements like faucet or disposal swaps in the same location, permits usually aren’t needed. But if you’re rerouting drains, adding new water lines, or working on gas piping, permits and inspections are required. We take care of the entire permitting process so you don’t have to worry.
