When the plumbing has to move in Bolingbrook
A new layout often means the sink, the dishwasher or the fridge line has to move. In Bolingbrook our licensed plumbers reroute the drain, the vent and the water supply, pull the village permit and leave everything ready for the cabinets.
New fridge spot with no water
A fridge relocated across the room still needs water for ice and the dispenser. A new supply line with its own shut-off goes in while the walls are open.
Gas line in the way of the new layout
If the range is moving too, the gas line has to follow. That is separate licensed work, scheduled and inspected alongside the plumbing.
Island sink with no wall to vent into
A sink in an island has no wall behind it for a vent pipe. We solve that with a loop vent under the counter, tied back into the house venting the way the plumbing code requires.
Sink moved under a window
Putting the sink under a window is a common request. The drain and vent have to work around the window framing, and supply lines stay off the cold outside wall when possible.
Not sure if the move is even possible
We check the drain route, the vent options and the floor structure first, so the design matches what the plumbing can actually do.
Dishwasher on the wrong side of the sink
Lefty cooks and new layouts often want the dishwasher swapped. The hose, the supply and the high loop or air gap all get rerouted to the new position.
Sink stuck on the wrong wall
If the sink sits in a corner or far from the range, the work triangle never feels right. A new drain and supply run lets the sink go where you actually prep.
What the install includes
- Layout and route checkWe look at the floor, the basement or crawlspace and the walls to plan the drain and water route.
- Permit applicationPermit paperwork handled before the first pipe is cut.
- Shut-off and removalWater shut off, old supply lines capped and the abandoned drain sealed properly.
- New drain at the right slopeThe new drain is pitched, supported and joined to the existing line.
- VentingA vent tied into the system, or a loop vent in an island, run to the plumbing code.
- Dishwasher, fridge and pot filler linesBranch lines for the dishwasher, the ice maker and a pot filler if you want one.
- Final hookupOnce the new counter is installed, the fixtures are connected and checked for leaks.
Options to choose from
Cleanouts at the new drainAn accessible cleanout near the relocated sink so a future clog can be cleared without opening the cabinet floor.
Loop ventA vent loop inside the island cabinet that rises as high as possible before dropping to the drain.
Quarter-turn shut-off valvesEasy-to-use valves so any fixture can be isolated without shutting off the house.
Copper supply linesType L copper soldered or press-fitted, a long-lasting choice for supply lines.
PEX supply linesPEX bends around framing, which means fewer joints that could leak later.

Kitchen Plumbing Relocation questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
Can you do the plumbing if another company does the cabinets?
Yes, as long as we have the cabinet layout. The drain and supply stub-outs are placed to match it.

Basement versus slab, the length of the run and how many fixtures move drive the price. You get a line-item estimate after we see it.
How long does a kitchen plumbing relocation take?
A simple move can be done in a day or two; slab cutting or long runs take longer.
