Creating The Right Bathroom

If you are remodeling or designing a bathroom, there are many things to decide, and some of them need must be finalized before you even start the project. It is an exciting time picking and choosing through the different bathroom plumbing fixtures, but because there are so many choices out there, it can also be a daunting task. How do you know where to start and how much can you do on your own? You came to the right place. We’ll give you all the know-how you need to get started on your project.

There are many options to look through before choosing the ones that will be right for your needs. Look through design, price, and how long it will last. As you are browsing think of your plumbing and sewer needs: how long will the material last, how many holes for valves will be needed, and how easy it will be to install if you are installing yourself. Finally, when you know what you are looking for, make sure you visit a storeroom to see firsthand how the final installed product appears.

When you are initially thinking everything through, start by making a check list of things you need before finishing the project. The main categories are:

∙ Bathroom plumbing fixtures

∙ Plumbing and sewer requirements

∙ Plumbing and drain needs

When you are shopping for bathroom plumbing fixtures, you need to figure out how much your budget will allow for the whole project. Decide how much you can spend on each category. The next thing, once you know how much you can afford, is deciding what theme you are going to use: country, modern, or just traditional. Even limited budgets can create a beautiful bathroom. Once you know which style you are looking for, go to a showroom and see how the different models look once they are installed.

Another need-to-know ahead of time is what your local codes are for the required plumbing and sewer requirements. Different locals have strict requirements for whether you can use PVC pipes, or if you can also use CPVC. You will be using ABS pipes for the drainage system, and you will need drain pipes with traps to keep sewage gases from escaping back into the system. Access panels are needed to provide an entrance to the rough in. The rough-in is really where it all happens. The rough-in is where all the supply lines and drain, waste and vent lines happen.

The plumbing and drain needs depend on the house or building that you are restoring or finishing your project in. Make sure you have the necessary drain pipes and traps. It is essential and helpful to have a stop valve attached to each fixture; in case of needed repair it is much easier to only shut off the water supply to that particular item, rather than the whole house. We will help you in any way you need it. Thank you for trusting your plumbing needs to us!
