The plumbing decisions in a bathroom remodel come first: whether fixtures stay in place or move, the condition of the existing pipes and drains, and what is behind the walls. Sorting these out early avoids surprises mid-project.
Layout drives plumbing cost and complexity
Keeping the toilet, sink, and shower in their existing locations is the simplest path, because the supply and drain lines are already there. Moving fixtures means moving pipes, which adds scope to the project.
Decide the layout first, then choose fixtures to match it — not the other way around.
Look behind the walls while they are open
Older East Bay homes can hide aging supply lines and drains behind finished walls. A remodel is the one chance to see and address them while everything is open.
Because Clogbusters does both plumbing and bathroom remodeling, the plumbing side of your project is handled by the same company doing the remodel.
