Kitchen plumbing in Sacramento, CA: sinks, dishwashers and ice makers
Most kitchen leaks start small inside a closed cabinet.
We install and repair kitchen sinks, faucets, dishwasher drains and supplies, ice maker and pot filler lines, and under-sink drain assemblies, with stops and connectors replaced as part of the job.
What kitchen plumbing covers
The kitchen packs a lot of connections into one cabinet: hot and cold stops, a faucet, a dishwasher supply and drain, a disposal, sometimes a filter and an ice maker line. Each connection is a chance for a slow leak that ruins the cabinet floor before anyone notices.
Whether you are swapping a sink during a countertop replacement or tracing a drip, we leave the cabinet with modern stops, braided connectors and a drain assembly sloped and sealed properly.

Kitchen Plumbing in Sacramento: what we see locally
Countertop replacements are steady work in Sacramento's older kitchens, from East Sacramento bungalows to 1970s homes in the Pocket. We coordinate with your counter installer so the sink comes out and goes back in on schedule.
Braided connectors, new stops and a proper air gap leave the cabinet tidy and dry.
For grease-heavy cooking, a yearly kitchen line cleaning is cheap insurance against a holiday backup. See drain cleaning.
What you can safely do before we arrive
- Clear the sink cabinet completely.
- Have new fixtures on site if you bought them.
- Coordinate timing with your counter installer.
Kitchen Plumbing questions
Can you install an undermount sink?
We connect undermount sinks after the counter fabricator mounts them, and handle the faucet, drain and appliances.

California plumbing code generally requires a listed air gap on dishwasher drains. We install one where needed.
Can you run a line for a fridge water dispenser?
Yes, with a dedicated shutoff and a braided or copper line.
