Atlanta Remodeling Plumber
Atlanta bathroom remodeling and additions are becoming more and
more popular due to the overwhelming desire of many homeowners
to create a custom look to their living spaces. Plumbing remodeling
can consist of simply re-facing a bathroom, adding a small
half-bath, or even adding complete, custom bathrooms equipped
with saunas, rain showers, custom lavatories, and high-grade
toilets. This process can take anywhere from a couple
of days up to several weeks depending on the complexity
of the remodel desired, and prices will follow suit from
inexpensive to outrageous.
The most common type of bathroom plumbing remodeling involves simply
replacing the fixtures in bathroom in order to give it
a more modern look while improving function. This is the
most cost-effective route if one is simply seeking to
update an older design. Some homeowners choose to take
it a step further, relocating fixtures and sometimes enlarging
a shower or adding another lavatory. This process usually
involves replacements of older fixtures as well. The there
is the addition. any homeowners want another bathroom
installed in the home, usually in the basement. Sometimes
only a half-bath is desired, with a toilet and sink. Often
times, a complete setup is the goal, with a toilet, sink(s),
and a tub or shower (or both). In either situation, waterlines
and drainage must be located in the surrounding area,
then accessed and tapped in order to supply the new bathroom
with each. Often times an ejector pump system (See"
Ejector Pumps"
section) is necessary to facilitate drainage in the new
bathroom. The area for the new bathroom must be measured,
framed, and prepped, none of which a remodeling plumber is responsible
for. After these steps are completed, the drainage is
installed, along with the waterlines. These are stubbed
up and capped. It is at this point in the plumbing remodeling that flooring, walls,
and lighting are installed. The fixture installations
are the last step in the process, completing the bathroom.
This is an over-simplified summary, but overall, remodeling plumbing jobs
are a drawn-out and tedious process. But in the end, the
homeowner is left with a beautiful addition to their home,
raising its functionality, convenience factor, and even
resale value.
