Plumbing Rough-In and Relocation

Plumbing rough-in and relocation for moving a sink, toilet, tub or shower, with new supply lines, drains and vents run, tested and inspected before the walls are closed.

Changing a bathroom layout almost always means changing the pipes. Moving a toilet or shower is possible, but it depends on floor framing, drain slope and the vent that lets the system breathe. Homeowners in Nashville who want a new layout need a plumber's plan before design choices are final.

We open the floor or the wall to see what is there, then draw a plan for new supply lines, drains and vents. We explain what is easy, what is costly and what is not possible in your house. Qualified plumbers run the new lines, set valves at the right heights and test the system under pressure before anything is covered. We coordinate inspections and photograph the work behind the walls, so you have a record of what is hidden. Rough-in is the point where a plan becomes real. Before pipes are covered, we walk the room with you to confirm every valve, drain and stub-out matches the drawing. Moving a fixture after walls are closed is costly, so this walkthrough is a simple way to be sure the room works as you pictured it.
