Using an existing rough-in
If your basement has capped drain stubs for a toilet, shower and sink, we confirm they are clean and properly placed, then extend them to your layout. We check that a vent is available, and add one if needed.
No rough-in
Without one, we cut the slab, trench to the main drain and lay new drains at the right slope. Venting runs up to connect with the existing system.
- Supply lines run in PEX from the main.
- We pressure-test and leave it ready for inspection.
Signs this is the job you need
- Capped pipes in the basement floor
- Finishing your basement
- Wanting a basement apartment
- Old rough-in that may not match your layout
- No vent nearby
Talk it through with a plumber
One call to (365) 364-2776 reaches someone who can tell you what the job involves and when a van can be at the door.
How the work goes
- We check the existing rough-in or plan a new one.
- We cut and trench if needed.
- We install drains, vents and supply.
- We test for inspection.
- We return for fixture install.
Pumps when gravity will not work
Now and then the drain under the floor sits too high for a basement toilet to fall into. In that case an upflush or sewage ejector pit lifts waste up to the building drain.
- It needs its own vent, a check valve and a dedicated outlet, and it makes some noise.
- We only suggest one when the slab and main drain leave no gravity route.
Asked on the phone line
Do I need a permit?
Usually yes for new plumbing.
Can I add a laundry too?
Often, if the drains and vents allow.
How a call to us runs
- You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
- We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
- We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
- On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.
