Planning comes first
Before demolition, we look at the existing stack, the floor joists and the water lines. That tells us where a new toilet, vanity, tub or shower can go without awkward drains. Small layout decisions, such as shifting a toilet a few centimetres, can avoid cutting a joist or adding a pump.
- Where the stack and vent are, and what size
- Joist direction and depth under the room
- Condition of supply pipes feeding the room
- Space for a pressure-balanced or thermostatic shower valve
Rough-in and finish
- Demolition check. Once walls open, we inspect old pipes and remove obsolete drum traps or galvanized lines.
- Rough-in. the plumber lays out every drain, vent and supply run and secured.
- Inspection. Where a permit applies, the rough-in is inspected before walls close.
- Finish. After tile and cabinets, we set fixtures, connect valves and test.
Common North York bathrooms
Many bungalows have a single bathroom with a cast-iron tub on an exterior wall, small windows and old galvanized lines. Converting the tub to a walk-in shower is popular, and so is adding a second bathroom on the main floor or in the basement. Each conversion needs the drain sized and vented correctly.
