Bathroom Remodeling and Plumbing Needs

Plumbing happens to be an integral part of bathroom remodeling. Unless you take bathroom remodeling purely for cosmetic reasons, you can’t ignore the plumbing system. It requires a variety of materials, tools and pipes to ensure a proper and constant supply of hot or cold water inside the bathroom. The commonly used pipes are copper, cast iron, plastic PVC, or galvanized iron.  

Including plumbing in your bathroom remodeling project offers the perfect opportunity to replace the old plumbing with new. Doing it would avoid additional cost and inconvenience if you have to fix any plumbing issue in the future.

Time, cost and the type of material used in plumbing depends on the complexity of the project and the extent of renovation. Pipes, tools, materials and time involvement vary with every project. An expert can give a clear estimate of everything and the type of pipe to be used in plumbing.  

Plumbing Material Choices

Depending upon the project, material choices may vary. You may need:

Plastic Pipes

Plastic pipes make a great choice in residential plumbing. They are available in different forms such as ABS, PVC, CPVC, and PE. Both rigid and flexible pipes are available to offer lasting plumbing systems. PVC pipes get the maximum demand as they resist chemical damage and heat better than ABS. Also, it meets all plumbing code requirements for above ground use in most states.

Copper Pipes

Chromed copper pipes are great for exposed areas as they resist corrosion and offer durable sweat-soldered joints. These pipes are good for home water supply.

Iron Pipes

Old iron pipes are difficult to work with as they rust and become leaky over time.
