Plumbing Support for Home Remodeling Projects

Capital Plumbing handles plumbing installations and relocations for kitchen and bathroom remodels.

When you remodel a kitchen or bathroom, the plumbing often needs to change along with the layout. Moving a sink to a new location, adding a second vanity, or installing a walk-in shower all require rerouting supply lines, adjusting drain pipes, and making sure everything meets code before walls close up and finishes go in. Capital Plumbing works with homeowners and contractors to handle the plumbing side of remodeling projects so the work integrates smoothly with the rest of the build.

We move pipes, install sinks, install showers, and set up plumbing for new fixtures in remodeled spaces. The work may involve cutting into walls or floors to reroute water lines, extending drain pipes to new locations, and installing shut-off valves and supply lines that match the new fixture layout. We coordinate with other trades to make sure rough-in plumbing happens at the right stage of construction and return for final connections once cabinets, countertops, and tile are in place.

If you are planning a remodel and need plumbing work included, contact Capital Plumbing to schedule a consultation and go over the scope of the project.

How plumbing fits into a remodel timeline

During a remodel, plumbing work typically happens in two phases. The first phase is rough-in, where we install or relocate supply lines and drain pipes before walls are closed. We measure carefully to position pipes where sinks, showers, and toilets will eventually sit, and we install blocking or backing where fixtures will mount. The second phase is trim-out, where we return after finishes are installed to connect faucets, secure drains, and test everything for leaks and proper flow.

Once the plumbing is finished, you will have fixtures that operate at full pressure, drains that clear without hesitation, and no leaks at any connection point. Water flows evenly to all fixtures, and shut-off valves are accessible for future maintenance.

We work from plans or field measurements to ensure pipes land in the correct locations, and we adjust for any changes that come up during construction. Our work includes pressure testing supply lines and checking drain slope to confirm proper function before walls are sealed. This service covers plumbing installation and relocation within the remodeled space and does not include structural changes, electrical work, or finish carpentry.

What people ask during the planning stage

Before starting a remodel, most homeowners want to understand how plumbing affects the layout, timeline, and budget for the project.

What happens if I want to move my sink to a different wall?
Moving a sink requires rerouting supply lines and drain pipes to the new location. We run new pipes through walls or floors, connect them to the existing plumbing, and make sure the drain has adequate slope to prevent backups.
How do you install plumbing for a walk-in shower?
We install a new drain assembly in the floor, connect it to the existing drain line, and run hot and cold supply lines to the valve location. The rough-in must be completed and inspected before tile or waterproofing is applied.
When should the plumber come during a remodel?
You should schedule rough-in plumbing after demolition and framing are complete but before drywall or tile goes up. Trim-out happens after cabinets, countertops, and finishes are installed and ready for final connections.
Why does adding a second vanity cost more than replacing one?
Adding a second vanity requires running new supply lines and a new drain connection from the existing plumbing. It involves more material, labor, and coordination than simply replacing a fixture in the same location.
What plumbing code requirements apply to remodels?
Remodel plumbing must meet current code for pipe materials, venting, drain slope, and fixture clearances. We pull permits when required and coordinate inspections to ensure the work passes before moving to the next phase.

Capital Plumbing works with homeowners and contractors to keep remodeling projects on track with plumbing that fits the new layout and meets code requirements.
