When the plumbing has to move in Tinley Park
Want the sink in the island or under the window on the other wall? We relocate kitchen plumbing in Tinley Park as part of a remodel or on its own, with a licensed plumber, a permit and an inspection where the village requires one.
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.
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.
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.
Drain too far from the stack
A drain that is too flat holds water and grease; one that drops too fast leaves solids behind. We lay out the run so the slope stays within code.
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.
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
A window wall often has no drain or vent. We route both around the window opening and keep the pipes out of the exterior wall cavity where they could freeze.
Included with the install
- Layout and route checkA visit to trace the stack, the vent and the path from the old sink to the new spot.
- Opening walls or floorWe cut the smallest openings that let us run pipe and work cleanly.
- New drain at the right slopePVC or other code-approved drain pipe laid with a steady fall to the stack.
- VentingA vent tied into the system, or a loop vent in an island, run to the plumbing code.
- 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.
What to pick before the install
Copper supply linesType L copper soldered or press-fitted, a long-lasting choice for supply lines.
Quarter-turn shut-off valvesBall-type stops under the sink and behind the fridge that close fully with a quarter turn.
PVC drain and vent pipePlastic drain pipe that resists grease buildup better than old galvanized.
PEX supply linesPEX bends around framing, which means fewer joints that could leak later.
Loop ventThe traditional way to vent an island sink without a wall behind it.

AfterTinley Park kitchen, 1980s two-story: kitchen plumbing relocation
The site: a 1980s two-story in Tinley Park. What we started with: white cast-iron double sink and honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs. What bothered the owners most: a sink on the wrong wall for how they cook. Finished kitchen: a new island with a prep sink, the drain, vent and water lines relocated from the old wall. On site this meant dishwasher, fridge and pot filler lines, pressure test and inspection, plus final hookup.

The reason for the call: no room to prep near the sink. The result: a new island with a prep sink, the drain, vent and water lines relocated from the old wall. Work included layout and route check, dishwasher, fridge and pot filler lines, plus pressure test and inspection.

Kitchen Plumbing Relocation questions from Tinley Park 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.
Can I move my kitchen sink to the island?
In most houses, yes. A basement or crawlspace below makes it simpler; a slab means cutting concrete.
Do you also move the gas line for the range?
Gas work is separate licensed work. We plan it with the plumbing move so both are done and inspected together.
Do I need a permit to move a kitchen sink in Tinley Park?
Moving or adding drain and water lines usually needs a village plumbing permit and an inspection. We take care of the application.
What affects the price of moving kitchen plumbing?
Route, access, the number of fixtures and any old pipe that needs replacing. We put it all in a written estimate.
Tinley Park contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Village contractor license required for all contractors; $100/year general, $50/year subcontractor. We take care of that before work starts.

Current plumbing license copies must be submitted before permit issuance; letter of intent with all plumbing permit applications. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
