Turning your kitchen or bathroom into a space you love can be an exciting but long process. During each step of the way, there are many decisions to make and factors to consider. One of the most important decisions you must make is when you should call a plumber to install the plumbing system. Depending on when you install the plumbing, you may be able to save time and money and avoid future problems. In this blog, we’ll discuss when it’s the right time to install plumbing during your kitchen or bathroom remodel.
Timing is important when it comes to installing the plumbing in your kitchen or bathroom.
If you install the plumbing too early, you could be wasting time and money on something you may have to redo later down the line. As you continue through your renovation process, the walls and other features may need to be moved or changed. Installing plumbing too early can prevent you from making changes later on down the line.
If you install the plumbing too late, it can delay the finalization of your project. Getting a plumber to come in at the last minute and complete the project can be difficult. By planning ahead and installing plumbing at the right time, you can avoid any delays in the completion of your project. Additionally, you may run into an issue where you have additional work to do after the plumbing is installed, such as moving fixtures, adding tile, or painting the walls.
The best time to install plumbing is dependent on the size of your project, the exact work being done, the number of plumbing fixtures in the room, and more.
If you are doing a full-scale kitchen or bathroom renovation, installing plumbing is best after the walls and floors are in place. This is the best time to install plumbing because you may need to make changes or adjust before moving on to other steps, such as adding tile or painting the walls.
If you are only making minor changes to your kitchen or bathroom, such as replacing the sink or shower, it’s best to install plumbing after the fixtures are in place. This will ensure that you have the best fit possible.
If you are planning to add a new appliance, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, plumbing should be installed before the appliance is added. This will help ensure that the appliance is installed correctly and has adequate water supply. If you are installing new vanities, countertops, or cabinetry, it’s best to install plumbing after these items have been put in place.
Installing plumbing systems and fixtures can be a complex process requiring some plumbing knowledge. If you are considering installing it yourself, ensuring you have the right supplies and tools is important. Additionally, there may be local building codes or regulations that must be followed when installing plumbing systems. In most cases, it is best to trust a professional to do the job.
