What We Handle on a Bathroom Renovation

Bathroom renovation plumbing covers more than swapping out a faucet. From supply line extensions to drain rough-ins to finish fixture work, our plumbers manage the full plumbing scope of your remodel.

Common services we provide on renovation projects:

• Moving or extending water supply and drain lines to match a new layout
• Toilet installation and rough-in
• Sink installation and drain connection
• Faucet installation and valve work
• Shower plumbing, including valve setting and drain rough-in
• Coordination with tile, vanity, and carpentry trades at rough-in and finish stages

Our vans are fully stocked, which means we can handle many tasks in a single visit rather than making multiple return trips. We use quality materials chosen for reliability, not just price, so the plumbing behind your new tile and fixtures holds up the way it should.

Why Iowa City Homeowners Trust Us with Their Remodels

Renovation work happens in your home while you’re living in it. That means the plumber you hire needs to show up on time, work cleanly, and communicate clearly at every stage. Those aren’t extras for us; they’re how we’ve built our reputation in Iowa City over more than 20 years.

Our plumbers complete ongoing customer service training alongside technical training, so you get a team that’s as easy to work with as they are skilled at the job. All plumbers are drug tested and stay current with modern plumbing methods and products. We’re also active members of the Greater Iowa City Home Builders Association, which keeps us connected to local building standards and the contractor community your project depends on.

If you’re planning multiple projects or want priority scheduling for your remodel, our Total Care Club membership includes front-of-line service, annual inspections, repair discounts, a service guarantee, and no service fee. It’s a practical option for homeowners who want a reliable plumbing partner, not just a one-time call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need a Licensed Plumber for a Bathroom Renovation?

In Iowa, plumbing work on supply and drain systems requires a licensed plumber. That includes moving supply lines, setting drain rough-ins, and connecting fixtures. Our plumbers are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, so your project meets code and your home is protected.

Can You Work with My General Contractor or Designer?

Yes. We coordinate directly with general contractors, designers, and other trades on renovation projects. Clear communication between trades keeps your project on schedule and prevents costly rework. If you’re working with a contractor, we’re used to fitting into that process.

When Does the Plumber Come In During a Remodel?

Bathroom renovations typically involve two plumbing visits. The rough-in happens before walls are closed, when supply and drain lines are set for the new layout. The finish visit comes after tile, drywall, and vanity work is complete, when fixtures are connected and tested. We’ll walk you through the sequence for your specific project when you call.

How Long Does the Plumbing Work Take?

It depends on the scope. A straightforward fixture swap takes a few hours. A full layout reconfiguration with new drain rough-ins and supply line work takes longer. We give you a clear picture of the time involved before we start so there are no surprises.
