Home remodels are exciting opportunities to refresh your living space, improve functionality, and incorporate modern plumbing solutions. But while design and décor often take center stage, plumbing is the backbone of any remodel — ensuring that your kitchen, bathroom, or full home works efficiently and safely.
At JB Plumbing LLC, we specialize in remodel plumbing projects across Southwest Washington and Oregon. In this guide, we’ll cover everything homeowners need to know about plumbing remodels — from planning and fixture upgrades to pipe replacement and maintenance.
Before starting a remodel, understanding your existing plumbing is crucial. Many homes have outdated pipes, inefficient water heaters, or hidden leaks that can impact your project. A professional inspection helps:
Identify pipe corrosion or damage.
Assess water pressure and flow.
Determine compatibility with new fixtures and appliances.
Early assessment saves time, prevents unexpected costs, and ensures your remodel goes smoothly.
A well-thought-out plan aligns plumbing with your remodel vision. Key considerations include:
Kitchen and Bathroom Layouts: Proper placement of sinks, showers, toilets, and dishwashers ensures convenience and functionality.
Energy Efficiency: Modern fixtures, tankless water heaters, and low-flow systems reduce utility costs and environmental impact.
Future-Proofing: Plan for potential expansions or additional appliances to avoid costly changes later.
Your remodel is the perfect time to upgrade plumbing fixtures. Consider:
Faucets and Shower Systems: Choose styles and functions that complement your home while providing durability.
Water Heaters: Tankless or high-capacity models can provide instant, efficient hot water.
Eco-Friendly Options: Low-flow toilets and smart faucets save water without sacrificing comfort.
Professional installation ensures all fixtures work flawlessly and meet code requirements.
Sometimes, remodels require pipe upgrades or rerouting. This may involve:
Replacing outdated galvanized or corroded pipes.
Installing flexible PEX piping for easier routing.
Adjusting lines to accommodate new layouts or appliances.
Expert plumbers ensure all pipe work is done cleanly and efficiently, reducing disruption to your home.
Remodel plumbing comes with unique challenges:
Working within tight spaces.
Navigating older structures with hidden issues.
Ensuring code compliance for electrical and plumbing intersections.
