Bathroom and kitchen renovation plumbing for homes across Kitchener-Waterloo

A renovation is the best time to fix plumbing you cannot reach once the walls and floors are finished. Moving a sink, adding a shower or turning a tub into a walk-in shower usually means new drain and vent lines, and the vent is the pipe that lets air into the drain so water flows freely.

We do the plumbing in stages around your other trades: the rough-in, when pipes go in before the walls close, and the finish, when the fixtures are installed. Moving a drain or adding a fixture often needs a building permit in Ontario, so confirm that early with your contractor or the city.

Signs you need bathroom and kitchen renovation plumbing

  • You are moving a sink, toilet or shower to a new spot

  • You are adding an island sink or moving the kitchen sink
  • Old pipes will be exposed once the walls are open
  • Your contractor needs a plumber for the rough-in and finish

How the job works

  1. Plan the layout

    We look at where the new fixtures will go and how the drains, vents and supply lines will reach them.

  2. Rough-in

    With the walls and floor open, we run the new drain, vent and supply lines to each fixture location.

  3. Inspection

    When a permit is in place, the rough-in is inspected before the walls are closed.

  4. Finish

    After the tile and cabinets are in, we install and connect the fixtures and test everything for leaks.

Common questions

Can I move my toilet to the other side of the bathroom?

Usually, but the toilet drain is large and needs a steady slope, so the floor structure decides how far it can move. The joists, the wooden beams under the floor, sometimes limit the route.

When should the plumber come into a renovation?

Before demolition is finished, if possible, so the layout can be checked against what is actually behind the walls. Changes are easier on paper than after the tile is in.

Do I need a permit for renovation plumbing?

Replacing fixtures in the same spot usually does not need one, while adding fixtures or changing drains usually does. Your city's building department can confirm what applies to your project.
