The Plumbing Required When Installing a New Bathroom

plumbersinportsmouth Uncategorized

A new bathroom may not mean you have a new home. An old house can have a newly refurbished bathroom. Pipes and drainage system deteriorate in time. Through wear and tear, moisture, algae buildup, and all kinds of damage may cause the pipes to burst, puncture, leak, rotten, rust, and clog that will deter the function of the whole bathroom piping system.

In some situations, you may simply want an additional bathroom on the second floor or in your bedroom, and anywhere in the house that will add convenience to all members of the family. Plumbing works in the bathroom can be done by anyone else. But, if you’re not the handyman type, and you don’t want to be involved in messy works, you can always seek the help of a professional plumber.

Begin Your Bathroom Makeover

Before starting your bathroom project, there are important things you need to know. List down these steps, and soon you’ll discover how much time you need and how much money you’ll be spending. Make your bathroom cost-efficient and find the best possible means to carry out the most favorable outcome with the most effective spending.

Licensed plumbers at Plumbers Portsmouth are always ready to provide you assistance.

  1. Understand your bathroom layout—the room of your bath is typically small or smaller than any bedroom in the house. To establish where the sink, toilet, shower, and tub will be positioned is a tough decision to make because the placement should strategically match the plumbing lines. Once you have a layout in mind and it is carried out, reversal or renovation of jobs is not as simple as you think it is.
  2. Know how piping and tubing work—the piping system in your house is a full framework where the water supply runs and the drainage system work (separately). Understanding your home’s layout will provide you a purview of how you’re going to attach the sink, tub, shower, and faucets to the main pipes, and the toilet to the drainage.
  3. Understand how the installation of sinks, taps, and bathtubs are done—it needs a little skill to install valves or faucets and showers. But for sinks and tubs, you may need the help of a skilled plumber. Small miscalculation will cause leak problems or clog.
  4. Learn why drains and pipes get blocked—It is a big inconvenience when drains do not work, and tubes are clogged. You do this checking especially during seasons of heavy rains and storms. By this time, sewers and drains are choked with the large volume of water or with the consistent outpour in which the mouth of the drains are not wide enough to flush the water. Consider also the small debris that may cause clogging. Or with simple human negligence, sinks get clogged with any kind of dirt. If you have a problematic draining system, let a plumber fix that first before you pursue with your bathroom project.
  5. Boiler installation—the bathroom is where you take a bath. A warm bath is just what you need for cold nights. Have your plumber check how to install a boiler or connect a tap to the pipes that connect to the central boiler.

Major steps in bathroom plumbing

If you already have the final layout for your bathroom project, soon, you’ll begin to make cut openings on the floor. You have made marks on those points on the floor that need cutting, and then start drilling.

  • Turn off bathroom water valves. To be sure, turn off the main water supply in the house as well. This is very important before proceeding with other installation
  • Run the water lines where they should be, either under the floor or beneath the walls along with other pipes installed there, and then connect the pipes to the main water line.
  • The correctness of drain line installation is integral to the overall function of your bathroom. Ask for the assistance of an expert plumber about the exact measurement of drain lines for the sink and toilet, ensuring that all these lines are downward going to the main drain line.
  • Install the sink, the toilet, and the bathtub. Installing these three main components of the bathroom needs complete accuracy in terms of alignment of water lines (hot and cold) for the bathtub and shower, drain, slot lines, holes, bolts, and screws any kind of adhesive, handles and stoppers for sinks and toilet to secure them in place. Every single inch of miscalculation will give you more sweat and jobs to do.

Final words

The bathroom plumbing is not for a novice; it needs a strong understanding of the whole plumbing technique. You may never want to spoil your new bathroom by coming up with compromised wall and floor members around the bathroom. Instead of completing a project, damages on fixtures will give a lot more headache.
