Kitchen Renovation
Kitchen Plumbing Renovation in Oshawa, Whitby & Durham Region
A kitchen renovation touches more plumbing than most homeowners expect: the sink, the dishwasher, the fridge line, and often a gas line for the stove, sometimes all being relocated at once if the layout is changing. We handle the plumbing side of kitchen renovations across Oshawa, Whitby, and Durham Region so it’s done right before the cabinets go in and everything is far harder to access.
What's Involved
- Relocating or upgrading sink and faucet plumbing to match a new layout
- Dishwasher and garbage disposal hookups, including drain line routing
- Refrigerator water line installation for ice makers and water dispensers
- Gas line work for stoves and ranges, including relocating a line if the kitchen layout is changing
- Fixing water pressure or drainage issues uncovered once the old cabinetry comes out
Why the Plumbing Comes First
In a kitchen renovation, plumbing work usually needs to happen before cabinetry and countertops go in, since supply and drain lines have to land in the right spot before anything gets built around them. Getting it right the first time avoids the far more expensive problem of pulling cabinetry and countertops back out later because a line was placed a few inches off.
Moving a Sink or Island
One of the more common kitchen renovation requests is relocating the sink, often to a new island. This typically means running new drain and supply lines, sometimes across the room, and coordinating with the venting system to make sure the new location drains properly. We plan this early with your designer or contractor so the rest of the layout can be built around a confirmed plumbing location, not the other way around.
Working With Your Renovation Team
We regularly work alongside contractors, cabinet installers, and designers on kitchen renovations, coordinating our timeline so plumbing is ready exactly when the rest of the project needs it, no more, no less.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you relocate my kitchen sink to a new spot, like an island?
Yes, this is one of the more common requests we handle. It usually involves running new drain and supply lines and confirming the layout works with proper venting, which we plan out before any other work begins.
Do I need a permit for kitchen plumbing renovation?
In most cases, yes, particularly if you’re relocating fixtures or gas lines. We handle the permit process as part of the renovation.
How far in advance should I schedule the plumbing for my kitchen renovation?
As early as possible, ideally once your layout is finalized but before cabinetry is ordered, since final measurements sometimes shift slightly based on where plumbing can realistically be routed.
