House on a slab or crawlspace

When the plumbing has to move in Orland Park
Moving a kitchen sink is mostly about the drain: it needs slope, a vent and a path back to the stack. We plan that route first, then run new supply lines and get the work inspected before the walls and floor close up in your Orland Park home.
Dishwasher on the wrong side of the sink
A dishwasher that sits in the way when its door is open can be moved. We run the drain hose and water line to the new bay and keep the connection under the sink tidy.
Old pipes found once the wall is open
Relocation is a good time to swap old pipe. If we hit rusted galvanized or cracked drain fittings, we show you and price the replacement before going further.
Gas line in the way of the new layout
Moving a gas range is not part of a water or drain relocation. We plan it at the same time so both are roughed in before the inspection.
Sink stuck on the wrong wall
The old layout put the sink where the plumbing was, not where it works best. Moving it to another wall usually comes down to how the new drain reaches the stack.
New fridge spot with no water
Moving the refrigerator is easy; moving its water is plumbing. We bring a dedicated line to the new spot so nothing runs across the floor.
Pot filler over the range
Filling stock pots at the stove means a supply line in the range wall with a shut-off you can reach. We run it before the backsplash goes up.
Drain too far from the stack
Long drain runs are where relocations get tricky. We map the path to the stack and make sure the pipe can keep a steady downhill pitch all the way.
Included with the install
- Shut-off and removalWe disconnect the old sink, cap the lines and seal the unused drain so it can't vent sewer gas.
- Opening walls or floorDrywall, subfloor or concrete opened only where the new pipe has to run.
- New drain at the right slopePVC or other code-approved drain pipe laid with a steady fall to the stack.
- Water supply linesSupply lines run to the new location, with quarter-turn stops under the sink.
- Dishwasher, fridge and pot filler linesWater and drain connections for every appliance that moved.
- Pressure test and inspectionWe test the new pipe, then the inspector sees it before anything is closed up.
- Final hookupAfter the cabinets and counter are in, we set the sink, faucet, trap and appliance connections.
Models, parts and fittings
Copper supply linesRigid copper where the house is already copper or where you prefer it for exposed runs.
PVC drain and vent pipePlastic drain pipe that resists grease buildup better than old galvanized.
Quarter-turn shut-off valvesEasy-to-use valves so any fixture can be isolated without shutting off the house.
PEX supply linesPEX bends around framing, which means fewer joints that could leak later.
Cleanouts at the new drainWe add a cleanout where the new drain joins the old line, so it can be serviced later.
