Garage Plumbing & Drainage Installation Services We Provide
Your garage conversion needs reliable plumbing systems for bathrooms, kitchens, and proper drainage to function as a comfortable living space. We install new plumbing from your main lines to finished fixtures.
Water Line Extensions and Connections
Most garages don't have water lines for bathroom or kitchen use, so we extend your home's water system to your converted garage space. We connect new water lines to your main house supply and run hot and cold water pipes to fixture locations throughout your conversion.
Our plumbers install shut-off valves, pressure regulators, and proper pipe insulation to prevent freezing and water damage in your new living area. You get reliable water pressure and temperature control for daily use without affecting water service to your main house.
Bathroom Plumbing Rough-In and Installation
Converting your garage means adding bathroom plumbing for toilets, sinks, and showers that require proper rough-in work before walls are closed up. We install drain lines, water supply lines, and vent pipes that connect to your main sewer and water systems safely.
Our team positions plumbing connections in the right locations for your bathroom layout and ensures proper slope for drainage. You get a fully functional bathroom plumbing that provides good water pressure and drains properly without backing up or causing odors.
Kitchen Plumbing and Appliance Connections
Kitchen areas in garage conversions need dedicated plumbing for sinks, dishwashers, and other appliances that make your space fully functional for daily living. We install water supply lines, drain connections, and shut-off valves for kitchen fixtures and appliances throughout your converted garage space.
Our plumbers coordinate appliance placement with plumbing connections to ensure clean installations that don't interfere with cabinet or countertop placement. You get a properly connected kitchen plumbing that handles daily cooking and cleaning needs without leaks or drainage problems.
Our Professional Garage Plumbing Installation Process
Every plumbing project follows careful steps to ensure your garage conversion gets reliable plumbing service that works properly for years. We coordinate plumbing work with electrical and construction trades to avoid conflicts and delays.
Site Assessment and Plumbing Design
Before starting plumbing work, we inspect your garage and main house plumbing to determine the best way to connect new plumbing systems. We locate your main water lines, sewer connections, and identify the most efficient routes for new plumbing in your converted garage space.
Our plumbers create plumbing layouts that show fixture locations, pipe routes, and connection points for your conversion project accurately. You understand exactly what plumbing work your garage conversion needs and how it connects to your existing house systems.
Plumbing Rough-In and Pipe Installation
Once permits are approved, we start plumbing rough-in by installing water lines, drain pipes, and vent systems before insulation and drywall installation. Our plumbers connect new plumbing to your main systems, install proper supports and hangers, and test connections for leaks before walls are closed.
We coordinate with electrical contractors and framers to ensure plumbing doesn't interfere with other construction work on your garage conversion project. You get clean plumbing installations that are properly supported and ready for fixture connections when construction is complete.
Fixture Installation and Final Connections
After walls are finished and flooring is installed, we return to connect toilets, sinks, faucets, and other plumbing fixtures throughout your converted garage. Our team tests all connections for proper operation, checks water pressure and drainage, and makes adjustments needed for optimal performance.
We schedule final plumbing inspections with the city and address any corrections required to pass inspection on your garage conversion. You get fully functional plumbing systems that provide reliable water service and proper drainage for comfortable daily living.
Our Garage Drainage Solutions and Water Management
Proper drainage protects your garage conversion from water damage and ensures wastewater flows away from your living space correctly. We install drainage systems designed for your specific site conditions and local building requirements.
Foundation Drainage and Waterproofing
Garage conversions need proper drainage around the foundation to prevent water from entering your new living space during rainstorms. We install French drains, waterproof membranes, and proper grading that directs water away from your converted garage foundation effectively.
Floor Drain Installation and Maintenance
Some garage conversions benefit from floor drains that handle water from laundry areas or provide emergency drainage for plumbing leaks. We install floor drains with proper traps and connections to your main drainage system when needed for your conversion.
Exterior Drainage and Gutters
Converting your garage may require updates to exterior drainage systems to handle roof water and prevent flooding around your new living space. We coordinate with roofers to ensure proper gutter connections and drainage flow away from your converted garage.
Basement and Crawl Space Drainage
If your garage has basement or crawl space areas, we install drainage systems that prevent water accumulation and protect your conversion from moisture damage. Our team installs sump pumps when needed to handle groundwater issues.
