Our Plumbing Works for Garage Conversion Process
Initial Assessment and Planning
Our plumbing assessment begins with evaluating your existing garage utilities and determining the most efficient routing for new water and sewer connections. We measure distances to existing plumbing, identify potential obstacles like electrical panels or HVAC equipment, and calculate the materials needed for your specific layout.
We create detailed plumbing plans showing all fixture locations, pipe routing, and connection points to ensure everything fits properly within your garage space. This thorough planning prevents surprises during construction and helps us provide accurate cost estimates for your project.
Rough-In Installation and Inspection
Rough-in work involves installing all water supply lines, drain pipes, and vent systems before walls are closed up and finished. We carefully route pipes to avoid conflicts with electrical wiring, HVAC ducts, and structural elements while maintaining proper slope on all drain lines.
Our team installs all pipes, fittings, and fixtures according to approved plans and current plumbing codes. We schedule and coordinate rough-in inspections with building officials, making any required adjustments to ensure approval before proceeding to final installation phases.
Final Fixture Installation and Testing
After walls are finished and flooring is installed, we return to complete final plumbing fixture installation including toilets, sinks, faucets, and any appliance connections. We test all systems thoroughly, checking water pressure at each fixture, verifying proper drainage, and ensuring all connections are leak-free.
Our final inspection includes demonstrating all fixtures to you, providing operation and maintenance instructions, and scheduling final municipal inspections. We provide warranty documentation and emergency contact information for any future service needs.
Plumbing Applications for Garage Conversion Types
Different garage conversion layouts require specific plumbing approaches to maximize functionality within available space. We customize our plumbing installation based on your intended use and layout preferences.
Studio Layout Plumbing Solutions
Studio layouts combine living, sleeping, and kitchen areas in one open space with a separate bathroom area. We position kitchen plumbing along one wall to minimize pipe runs and reduce installation costs while maximizing your open floor space.
One-Bedroom ADU Plumbing Design
One-bedroom conversions require careful plumbing placement to serve both bedroom and living areas without noise transfer between spaces. Our design separates bathroom plumbing from sleeping areas and positions kitchen connections for convenient meal preparation and cleanup.
Multi-Room Conversion Plumbing
Larger garage conversions with multiple rooms need strategic plumbing placement to serve different areas efficiently. We create centralized plumbing zones that minimize pipe runs while ensuring adequate water pressure and drainage throughout your converted space.
Accessible Design Plumbing Features
Conversions designed for aging in place or disability access require specialized plumbing fixture placement and grab bar blocking. We install wider doorways around plumbing areas and position fixtures to accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices while maintaining full functionality.
