Why Hire a Contractor?

For one thing, hiring a contractor to help you plan out and implement your complete new house plumbing installation will take a lot of the stress off of your shoulders. For something as intricate as household plumbing, you will need expert advice, even if you still intend to utilize your own crew of workers. An experienced plumbing contractor knows first hand what needs to be done, the right materials to use, and your area’s building codes. A wealth of knowledge that you would have had to research for hours, all at your disposal.

First Steps

The first thing that needs to be done before installation begins is to map out your household plumbing design. Think of each area as its own packaged product: kitchen and bathrooms. This way, nothing gets overlooked, and you will have created a list of the exact fixtures and pipes that will be needed.

Be sure to comparison shop for the fixtures and supplies that you will need. This is also where having a contractor on your side can be handy. Contractors can literally get things at a discount or receive special pricing, whereas you, as a do-it-yourself builder might have to pay retail for pipes, sinks, toilets, water heaters, septic tanks, tubs, showers or water softeners.

From Paper to Reality

When you are ready, lay out everything as it would be installed. Make sure that all materials are up to code, that you have all the right fittings and fixtures, and work the installation one area at a time. How you do it is completely up to you, or the contractor, top to bottom or bottom to top, just as long as you completely cover every detail of its installation.

Walk-Through before Inspection

Once everything is hooked up and installed, walk through it all with the contractor. Double check every bit of it, looking for any flaws. The next step is the most important: test it out. The final step in any complete new house plumbing installation is to have a county or township building inspection. No surprises for the inspector, means less headaches for you.
