FAQs
What plumbing services are typically included in a Decherd bath remodel?
Our bath-remodel plumbing package can cover complete fixture replacement (toilets, tubs, showers, sinks, faucets), drain and water-supply re-piping, new shut-off valves, rough-in relocation, shower-pan and bathtub drain installations, vent-pipe adjustments, and final trim-out. We also perform code-compliant pressure tests and install accessories such as bidet seats, body sprayers, and under-sink filtration systems if requested.
Do I need a plumbing permit for my bath remodel in Decherd, TN?
Yes. Because Decherd follows the 2018 International Residential Code and state plumbing regulations, any work that alters existing supply or drain lines, moves fixtures, or installs new valves requires a permit and inspection from the City of Decherd Building & Codes Office. We handle the application, schedule inspections, and provide homeowners with the final approval certificate to ensure the project is fully compliant.
How long does the plumbing phase of a bathroom remodel usually take?
For a standard size bath (5’ × 8’), rough-in plumbing adjustments typically take 1–3 days, depending on how much relocation is involved. After tile or wall finishes are complete, the final trim-out (setting the toilet, installing faucets, tying in drains) usually takes another ½–1 day. Larger custom baths with multiple shower heads or freestanding tubs can add several additional days for pressure testing and inspection scheduling.
Can I move my toilet, shower, or tub to a new location during the remodel?
Absolutely, but it requires careful planning. Moving a toilet means relocating the 3"-4" waste line and the vent stack, which may involve opening subfloors or ceilings below. Shower and tub moves need new drain P-traps and water lines. We provide a site assessment, verify joist direction, ensure proper slope (¼" per foot on drains), and confirm venting routes before giving you a firm cost and timeline.
What type of piping material do you recommend for a bathroom renovation?
We generally recommend PEX-a or Type L copper for water supply lines. PEX-a is flexible, resists freeze damage, and installs quickly with few fittings, while copper offers proven longevity and excellent heat resistance. For drains, we use schedule 40 PVC or cast-iron (for superior sound dampening in multi-story homes). All materials meet the Tennessee Plumbing Code and carry manufacturer warranties.
How much does bath-remodel plumbing cost in Decherd?
Pricing depends on fixture count, relocation work, and material choice, but homeowners can expect: • Basic fixture swap (toilet, vanity sink, shower valve): $1,800-$2,500 • Mid-range remodel with some line relocation: $3,500-$5,500 • Full gut with new layout, custom shower, and freestanding tub: $6,000-$9,000+ These estimates include permits, rough-in, pressure tests, and trim-out.
