Remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room? While youโre picking tile and paint colors, donโt forget the plumbingโitโs one of the most important (and costly-to-correct) parts of any renovation.
At Southside Plumbing, we help Omaha and Council Bluffs homeowners and contractors ensure their plumbing upgrades are done right the first time. From rerouting drain lines to installing luxury fixtures, we know how to build plumbing systems that match todayโs modern spacesโand tomorrowโs needs.
๐ง Why Plumbing Planning Is Essential During a Remodel
When youโre remodeling, the walls are already open. That makes it the best possible time to upgrade, relocate, or reconfigure your plumbing systemsโespecially if youโre:
- Moving a kitchen island or sink
- Installing a walk-in shower or freestanding tub
- Adding a second-floor laundry room
- Switching from electric to gas appliances
- Planning for future accessibility or additions
Poor plumbing planning during a remodel can lead to expensive rework, inspection failures, or performance issues down the line. Thatโs why having a licensed plumber involved from the start matters.
๐ง Hereโs How Southside Plumbing Helps During a Remodel
We offer full-service support for residential remodels of any size, including:
๐ช 1. Water & Drain Line Relocation
Need to move a sink, washer, or toilet? We reroute supply lines and drains to fit your new layoutโensuring proper slope, venting, and flow.
๐ฅ 2. Gas Line Adjustments
Switching to a gas stove, tankless water heater, or gas dryer? We handle safe, code-compliant gas line installations and reroutes.
๐ฟ 3. Fixture Upgrades
We install tubs, toilets, showers, pot fillers, sinks, utility faucets, and smart home-compatible systems. From basic to high-end fixtures, we make sure everything is secure, leak-free, and properly connected.
๐ง 4. Pressure Balance & Code Compliance
We verify that your remodeled system meets Omaha and Council Bluffs plumbing code, and that all fixtures maintain consistent water pressure and temperature control.
๐ 5. Issue Detection Before Drywall
We pressure test lines and check for potential trouble before walls are closedโsaving you from costly fixes later.
๐งฐ We Coordinate with Your Contractorโs Timeline
We know remodels run on tight schedules. Southside Plumbing works directly with contractors and homeowners to stay aligned on key phases:
- Rough-in: We install lines before walls or tile go up.
- Final trim-out: We return after finishes are complete to install fixtures and test connections.
- Inspection support: We make sure everything is ready to pass city or county inspections the first time.
