Remodel plumbing is different from a standard repair call. It often involves relocating supply and drain lines, coordinating with cabinetry and tile work, and making sure new fixtures tie into the home’s existing system correctly, whatever its age.

For older Original Aurora homes, remodels are also a natural opportunity to address any lingering galvanized supply lines while walls are already open, which our pipe repair and installation team can handle alongside the fixture work. Newer builds usually need less structural change, just fixture and connection work.

• Relocating a sink or fixture: Requires rerouting supply and drain lines, which is more involved in older homes with fixed slab foundations.
• Upgrading fixtures for water efficiency: Popular in Aurora given ongoing interest in reducing water use.
• Opening walls in an Original Aurora home: Often reveals aging galvanized pipe worth replacing while accessible.
• New construction plumbing rough in: Common in Painted Prairie and Southshore additions or new builds.

A few considerations come up on nearly every Aurora kitchen and bath job.

Should I replace old pipes during a kitchen or bath remodel?

If the home is from Aurora’s original construction era and still has galvanized supply lines, a remodel is the ideal time to replace them, since the walls are already open and labor cost is much lower than opening them again later specifically for pipe work. Our plumbers inspect exposed lines during every remodel and flag any that are worth addressing.

How long does a typical bathroom plumbing remodel take in Aurora?

A straightforward fixture swap can be completed in a day, while relocating plumbing or fully rerouting lines for a layout change typically takes several days depending on the scope. Projects that also involve replacing old galvanized pipe add time but prevent needing to reopen the same walls again down the road.

Can you handle plumbing for a full kitchen or bathroom remodel, not just fixture swaps?

Yes, our plumbers handle everything from a single fixture upgrade to full remodel plumbing, including relocating supply and drain lines, rough in for new layouts, and final fixture connections once tile and cabinetry are complete.
