New build and remodel plumbing in Nolensville

Plumbing is one of the trades that has to be right early. If you call us with the plans and the timeline, we can tell you whether we can fit it. We rough in on slab or crawlspace, coordinate with framers and mechanical trades, and stay out of the way when we are not needed.

Basements and bonus rooms often get a bathroom late in the project. If drains were stubbed in during construction, adding a bath is straightforward. If not, you may be cutting concrete for a drain, or installing an ejector pump if the basement is below the sewer line. We will explain the choices and costs.

Finishing a basement bathroom has one big question, and it is whether the basement floor is above or below the sewer line. If it is above, gravity does the work and the drain is simple. If it is below, waste has to be pumped up to the line, which means an ejector pump in a sealed pit.

Neither is unusual. The pump version costs more up front and needs a bit of maintenance, but it makes a bathroom possible in a space that would not otherwise have one.

A pot filler is a faucet on the wall behind the range, with a folding arm that reaches over the burners. It needs a cold water line run inside the wall, a shutoff valve that is accessible, and a spot where a leak would not damage anything. In a new build, that is simple, since the wall is open. In a finished kitchen, it means opening the wall behind the range and fishing a line in from below or above.

Because a pot filler is rarely used, the water in its short line can sit for days. That is fine for filling a pot you are going to boil, and is the reason most people use it only for that. A pot filler is a nice detail, and worth planning before the backsplash goes up.
