Things to Consider before New Construction Plumbing

If you are building a new home or need to add plumbing to an addition, you will be working with new construction plumbing. New construction plumbing is different than the type of work that plumbers do when they make repairs or replace existing pipes, fixtures and toilets.


Get Familiar With The Local Plumbing Codes

Before doing anything, you should familiarize yourself with local plumbing codes and regulations. Get this data from the building code. It is imperative to be in accordance with these codes since they are for our safety.


They may also help prevent problems in the future with things like insurance claims or resale of your home. Not knowing the codes is not a valid excuse for not following them and you could face fines and other penalties if you break a code without taking proper precautions and measures.


Prepare the Site For New Construction Plumbing

You need to prepare the site before you start any work on new construction plumbing. This includes ensuring that all of the pipes are properly connected, that there are no leaks and that everything is installed so that it meets local code specifications. While some of these tasks may seem relatively simple, it is important to remember that every component must be done correctly for everything to function properly. If you find still any difficulty the “Monoxy” a fully experienced Construction Contractor Company in Dallas always ready to assist you in each step.


Run The Drain and Vent Lines

Next thing you'll need to do is run the drain and vent lines. You'll want to make sure these are installed correctly as they are less forgiving than the supply lines.


Run Your Copper Supply Lines

Now it's time to install your copper supply lines. These will be less forgiving but once they're installed, they should last a long time without any issues. For more information you can consult at Monoxy.
