Kitchen plumbing touches more systems than most homeowners expect — sink, dishwasher, garbage disposal, ice maker, and sometimes a gas line for the range. Here's what to plan for on the plumbing side of a kitchen remodel, especially if you're changing the layout.
Relocating a sink — especially to a kitchen island — is one of the more involved plumbing changes in a kitchen remodel, since it requires extending supply lines, drain lines, and venting to the new location, often through the floor. This is worth pricing out early since it significantly affects both budget and design flexibility.
If you're changing cabinet layout, dishwasher supply and drain lines usually need to move with it. Adding a garbage disposal where there wasn't one before requires both electrical (a dedicated outlet or switch) and drain line work — factor this in early if it's part of your plan.
Switching from electric to gas cooking, or relocating a gas range, requires new or extended gas line work — this needs to be done by a licensed plumber and typically requires a permit and inspection given the safety implications. It's worth deciding on cooktop type early since it affects both the plumbing and electrical scope.
Plumbing rough-in for a relocated sink needs to happen before cabinet installation, and final connections happen after countertops are set. Getting this sequence wrong — a very common issue when multiple trades aren't well-coordinated — can mean removing installed cabinetry to fix a plumbing oversight.
