When building a new home or commercial property, one of the most important aspects is the plumbing system. Proper planning and professional plumbing services during new construction ensure that water flows smoothly, fixtures operate efficiently, and future problems are prevented. Here’s a step-by-step look at the services Shamrock Plumbing provides during new construction projects:
The first step in new construction plumbing is detailed planning and design. Shamrock Plumbing works closely with builders, architects, and homeowners to create a layout for the entire plumbing system. This includes mapping out where pipes, fixtures, drains, and appliances will go. Proper planning helps ensure code compliance and efficient water distribution throughout the building.
Before any plumbing work begins, Shamrock Plumbing secures the necessary permits from local authorities. Permits ensure that all work will meet building codes and regulations. Inspections may be required at various stages of the project to guarantee safety and quality.
The next step involves installing underground plumbing before the foundation is poured. This includes setting the main sewer line, drainpipes, and water supply lines beneath the slab or basement floor. Proper installation at this stage is crucial and Shamrock Plumbing will ensure that your plumbing system is done right the first time!
After the foundation is complete, plumbers perform the rough-in stage. This involves running water supply lines and drainpipes through walls, floors, and ceilings. All pipes are positioned for sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, and appliances, but fixtures are not yet connected. The rough-in stage ensures that the plumbing system is correctly routed throughout the structure.
Before walls are closed up, the entire plumbing system is pressure-tested for leaks and inspected by local authorities. This step is essential to catch and fix any issues early, avoiding costly repairs later on. Passing inspection means the project can move forward to the next phase.
Once construction nears completion and walls are finished, Shamrock Plumbing returns to install all plumbing fixtures and appliances. This includes toilets, sinks, bathtubs, showers, faucets, water heaters, dishwashers, and more. Professional installation ensures everything is connected properly, operates efficiently, and meets manufacturer guidelines.
After all fixtures and appliances are installed, a final inspection is performed. Shamrock Plumbing tests the entire system—checking for leaks, verifying proper water flow and drainage, and making sure every fixture functions correctly. Local building inspectors may also review the finished work to ensure compliance with code requirements.
Work with licensed, experienced professionals to ensure your plumbing system is installed right from the start. Reliable plumbing is essential for any new home or building—make sure you get the best results with a trusted plumbing contractor.
