The kitchen is the hardest-working plumbing in the house, and an upgrade is the right time to get it dialed in. Whether you are swapping a sink and faucet, adding a garbage disposal or a pot filler, running a line for a new refrigerator with an ice maker, or reworking the plumbing for a full remodel, the connections behind the cabinets have to be clean and leak-free — because a slow leak under a kitchen sink can ruin a cabinet base and a floor.
We handle kitchen plumbing upgrades of every scale, from a single fixture to a full remodel rough-in, and we do it to code with the right shutoffs, supply lines, and drain configuration. In older Bloomfield Hills homes we also tie new fixtures into aging lines cleanly, and we flag the hard-water-worn parts that would fail early if we left them.
When to call us for kitchen plumbing
You're upgrading a sink or faucet
A new sink, pull-down faucet, or touchless model needs correct supply, drain, and disposal connections. We set it clean.
Adding a disposal or pot filler
New disposals and pot fillers mean new drain wiring or a water line run to code. We plan and install it properly.
New fridge or ice-maker line
Running a water line to a refrigerator needs a proper valve and leak-free connection — a common source of hidden leaks done wrong.
You're remodeling the kitchen
A remodel is the time to rework supply, drain, and venting behind the cabinets. We handle the rough-in and final set.

Our process
- 1
Plan the connections
We map the supply, drain, disposal, and any new lines for your layout, confirming sizing and shutoffs.
- 2
Permit if the work requires it
For remodels that alter plumbing, we pull the permit and install to code, scheduling any inspection.
- 3
Install and connect
We set the sink, faucet, disposal, pot filler, or appliance lines and connect everything cleanly.
- 4
Test for leaks
We check every connection under water, confirm the drain and disposal run clean, and verify appliance lines hold.
What affects the price
We never post fake prices. Here's what actually drives the cost — and we put the real number in writing before any work begins.
- Single fixture vs. a full remodel rough-in.
- Whether you are adding new lines — disposal, pot filler, or fridge/ice maker.
- Condition of the existing supply, shutoffs, and drain.
- Sink and faucet type and any countertop coordination.
- Permit and inspection if the work alters the plumbing.

Leak-free under the sink
A kitchen sink has the most connections in the house. We seal and test every one so a slow leak never rots your cabinet or floor.
We size and shut off right
New fixtures get proper shutoffs and supply lines, so the next repair is easy and nothing weeps behind the cabinet.
Appliance lines done safely
Fridge and ice-maker lines are a top cause of hidden leaks when done poorly. We use the right valve and a secure connection.
Older-home savvy
We tie new kitchen fixtures into the aging drains and supply lines common here without creating a clog or leak downstream.
Kitchen Plumbing Upgrades FAQs
Yes, and it is worth doing right — a poorly connected fridge line is one of the most common hidden leaks we find. We install a proper shutoff valve and a secure, leak-free connection so it does not weep behind the appliance.
Yes. A pot filler needs a water line run to the wall behind the range, done to code with a proper valve. We plan the route, run the line, and connect it cleanly — ideally during a remodel when the wall is open, but it can be added later too.
Absolutely. We install sinks, faucets, disposals, and their connections, including customer-supplied fixtures. We confirm everything is compatible, replace corroded supply lines and shutoffs, and test for leaks before we finish.
A simple fixture swap usually does not, but a remodel that moves or adds plumbing generally requires a permit. We tell you which applies, pull the permit as the licensed contractor when needed, and handle the inspection.
Usually an improper drain slope or a venting issue introduced during the remodel, or a partial clog in the older line it ties into. We check the slope, the vent, and the downstream line so the sink drains the way it should.
