New construction plumbing.Built around your schedule.

Overview

From the first pipe under the slab to the last fixture, the plumbing on a new home runs in three stages, each with its own inspection.

Each stage is booked around your framing, drywall and finish dates, so the plumbing is never the reason a house sits waiting.

Scope

Three stages, three inspections.

Underground

Before the slab or basement floor is poured: the building drain, under-floor waste lines and the water service entry, laid to grade and tested.

Ready for underground inspection

  • Building drain and under-slab waste
  • Water service entry
  • Sleeves and stub-ups for later stages
  • Test before the pour

Rough-in

Once framing is up: drain, waste and vent stacks, supply lines to every fixture location, and tub and shower valves set, all before insulation and drywall.

Ready for rough-in inspection

  • Drain, waste and vent
  • Hot and cold supply in [PEX / COPPER]
  • Tub, shower and valve set
  • Pressure test

Finish

After cabinets, counters and tile: fixtures set, water heater installed and every connection made and checked.

Ready for final inspection

  • Sinks, toilets and faucets
  • Water heater, tank or tankless
  • Appliance connections
  • Final check of every fixture

Before we start

What helps a job run on time.

  • Plans and fixture schedule

    Drawings plus the fixture and appliance selections, so rough-in lands in the right place first time.

  • A date and a site contact

    The target date for each stage and one person on site who can answer questions.

  • A heads-up when things move

    If framing or drywall slips, a call means the plumbing slips with it rather than turning up to a house that isn't ready.
