  • Eco-Friendly: They may want to switch out their toilet, showerhead, or other items to an option that’s more eco-friendly and doesn’t use as much water.
  • Handicap-Accessible: They may need to add in grab bars or change a tub into a shower so that it’s easier for someone to step into.

How Plumbers Work During a Bathroom Remodel

Bathrooms are major plumbing centers. There are many intricacies in the pipes to connect the toilet, the shower, the tub, and the sink, and homeowners need to take precautions when taking things out and putting things back in during a remodel or renovation.

Some tasks, like putting in a new sink in the same location as a previous sink, could simply be handled by the homeowner, but professional plumbers are extremely helpful for more complex tasks like ripping out a tub and replacing it with a shower. Including a plumber in this process ensures that everything is functional, safe, and up to code when the remodel or renovation is finished.

Popular Bathroom Remodels That Need Professional Plumbing

If a homeowner simply wants to install a new showerhead or replace a sink without changing its location, a professional is likely not needed.

However, when larger tasks are at play, a plumber can prove to be extremely useful. This can include the following situations:

  1. When Changing the Location of a Sink, Toilet, Tub, or Shower
  2. When Ripping Out a Tub to Replace It With a Shower, or Vice Versa
  3. When Drywall Needs to Be Ripped Out to Move or Fix the Pipes

Generally speaking, remodeling and renovation projects have a lot of moving pieces, which can lead to longer timelines and potential problems if they aren’t handled by the pros. Hiring a professional plumber for large bathroom remodeling and renovation projects can save homeowners a lot of hassle.
