What Changes When You Remodel

Your remodel plumbing starts with evaluating what currently exists and what needs to move or be replaced. In Louisville homes built before 1980, you may find galvanized steel supply lines that restrict water flow or cast iron drains that have corroded internally. These are replaced with modern materials that improve pressure and drainage.

Once new lines are installed, you will notice stronger water pressure at faucets and showers, faster drainage in sinks and tubs, and fixtures that function as intended without leaks or slow flow. All connections are tested before walls are closed to confirm proper operation.

If your remodel includes moving a sink, toilet, or shower, drain lines must be rerouted with proper slope and venting. In older homes, adding new fixtures sometimes requires extending vent stacks or installing air admittance valves where traditional venting is not feasible. The work is focused on clean workmanship and minimal disruption to areas of your home not being remodeled. Fully licensed and insured, all installations meet local code requirements.

Questions That Help You Plan

Remodeling brings up practical questions about what can be moved, what should be replaced, and how long the work takes. These answers reflect what typically happens during plumbing remodels in Louisville.

What plumbing gets replaced during a remodel?
Any corroded, leaking, or undersized piping is replaced while walls are open. Galvanized steel and old cast iron are commonly swapped for copper, PEX, or PVC depending on the application.
How do you route new plumbing in an older home?
You work within existing wall cavities, floor joists, and basement or crawlspace access. When space is limited, creative routing or air admittance valves may be used to meet code without major structural changes.
What happens if you move a toilet?
The drain line must be rerouted to the new location with proper slope and a connection to the existing vent stack. This often requires opening floors and may involve adjusting framing to accommodate the new drain path.
How long does remodel plumbing take?
A single bathroom or kitchen remodel typically takes two to four days for plumbing work, depending on how much piping is moved or replaced. Larger remodels with multiple rooms take longer and are scheduled in coordination with your contractor.
What should you do before the plumber arrives?
Clear the work area of personal items and confirm access to walls, floors, or ceilings where plumbing will be installed. If demolition is needed, coordinate with your contractor to have it completed before plumbing begins.
