About Our Plumbing Renovations

Renovation plumbing goes beyond simple repairs — it involves modifying existing systems to accommodate new layouts and fixtures. We move sinks, relocate toilets, extend supply lines, and update drain configurations to match your renovation plans. In Owen Sound's older homes, renovation often reveals hidden issues: galvanized supply pipes that should be replaced while walls are open, undersized drain lines that don't meet current code, or cast iron stacks with deteriorating joints. Our team coordinates with contractors to ensure plumbing work aligns with your project timeline, and we use the opportunity of open walls to upgrade aging infrastructure that would be far more expensive to address later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We relocate sinks, toilets, and other fixtures by extending or rerouting supply and drain lines. Feasibility depends on floor joist direction and access to existing plumbing.

We recommend replacing galvanized pipes when walls are open during renovation. This prevents future leaks and improves water pressure throughout your home.

Contact us during the planning phase. Early involvement helps identify potential challenges, ensures proper fixture placement, and prevents costly changes later.

In many cases, yes. Adding a bathroom requires running new supply and drain lines. Basement bathrooms may need ejector pumps. We assess feasibility and explain options.

Yes. We coordinate with general contractors, electricians, and other trades to ensure plumbing work fits the project schedule and integrates properly with other work.

Open walls often reveal hidden issues like corroded pipes or improper venting. We address these problems during renovation when access is easiest and most cost-effective.

Yes. Renovation plumbing is quoted based on what's moving, what's staying, and what condition the existing system is in. We coordinate with your contractor or designer early in the project so there are no scheduling surprises or budget gaps on the plumbing side.

Yes. Adding a sink to a kitchen island requires extending supply lines and running a drain with proper venting. We plan and execute these modifications carefully to ensure correct function.

Yes. Floor drains are practical additions to laundry rooms, utility spaces, and wet bathrooms. We install them with proper slope and trap to ensure effective drainage.

Plumbing costs depend on whether fixtures are staying in place or moving. A sink staying in the same location needs only new connections. Moving the sink to an island or a different wall involves running new supply and drain lines. We provide a detailed breakdown so you can incorporate plumbing costs into your overall renovation budget.

Yes. Renovations sometimes require moving the water heater to a different room or floor. We reroute supply and drain connections, ensure proper electrical access, and verify the new location meets code requirements for clearance and drainage.

If your walls are already open and you have galvanized or aging copper supply lines, PEX replacement is significantly cheaper during renovation than as a standalone project. PEX is also more freeze-resistant — an important consideration in Grey County.

Plumbing permits are typically required when adding new fixtures, relocating drains, or modifying venting. Your general contractor usually pulls the building permit, and plumbing is inspected as part of that process. We ensure all our work passes inspection.

Yes. This is one of the most popular renovation requests we handle. It involves repositioning the drain, potentially modifying the valve location, and ensuring proper waterproofing. We work with your tiler to ensure the plumbing and tile integrate properly.

Second-floor laundry installations require supply lines, a drain with proper venting, and an emergency floor drain or pan to protect against water damage. We ensure the drain routing doesn't conflict with the floor structure and meets code for noise and overflow protection.
