Kitchen Remodel Plumbing in Gatineau: Essential Services for Your Renovation
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and a kitchen remodel can dramatically improve both function and enjoyment. Behind every successful kitchen renovation is properly planned and executed plumbing—for the sink, dishwasher, ice maker, garbage disposal, and any other water-using features. Plombier Gatineau provides comprehensive kitchen remodel plumbing services throughout Gatineau, ensuring your dream kitchen works flawlessly.
Kitchen Plumbing Components
Kitchen Sink
The kitchen sink is the most-used plumbing fixture in most homes. Remodels often involve new sink styles—single or double bowl, farmhouse, undermount, stainless or composite—each with specific installation requirements. Sink location changes require moving drain and supply lines.
Kitchen Faucet
Modern kitchen faucets offer features like pull-down sprayers, touchless operation, and filtered water dispensers. We install all types, ensuring proper connection and operation.
Garbage Disposal
A garbage disposal adds convenience, grinding food waste for drain disposal rather than trash. Installation requires both plumbing and electrical connections.
Dishwasher
Dishwasher installation requires hot water supply, drain connection (often through the disposal), and proper anti-siphon protection. New dishwasher locations require running new supply and drain lines.
Refrigerator Water Line
Refrigerators with ice makers and water dispensers need a water supply line. We run lines to new refrigerator locations with proper shutoff valves.
Pot Filler
A pot filler faucet at the range lets you fill large pots without carrying them from the sink. Installation requires running a supply line to the cooktop area.
Additional Sinks
Island sinks, prep sinks, or bar sinks may be part of your remodel. Each needs appropriate supply and drain connections.
Planning Your Kitchen Plumbing
Layout Changes
Moving the sink to an island or different wall requires extending or relocating drain and supply lines. Drain work is most complex—drains need proper slope and venting. We help you understand what's involved in your desired layout.
Venting
Island sinks present venting challenges since they're away from walls where vents typically run. Solutions include loop vents, air admittance valves (where code allows), or creative vent routing. Proper venting prevents drainage problems and sewer gas issues.
Supply Sizing
If your remodel adds fixtures or features, supply lines must have adequate capacity. Undersized supplies result in pressure problems when multiple fixtures run simultaneously.
The Remodel Process
Consultation
We review your plans before construction begins, identifying plumbing implications and ensuring your vision is achievable.
Rough-In
Early in construction, while walls and floors are open, we install supply and drain lines positioned precisely for your fixture selections.
Finish Work
After cabinets and counters are installed, we set sinks, connect disposals and dishwashers, install faucets, and complete all connections.
Coordination
Kitchen remodels involve multiple trades—cabinets, countertops, electrical, plumbing, and more. We coordinate with your general contractor or other trades to ensure plumbing work happens at the right stages without delays.
Permits
Many kitchen remodels require plumbing permits, especially for new fixture locations. We handle permit requirements, ensuring proper documentation and inspection.

We provide kitchen remodel plumbing throughout Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer, Chelsea, and surrounding areas.
