7 Tips For Planning Your Plumbing When Building A New Home
Straight-Line Construction provides professional plumbing services for home and business owners across Long Island. We have years of experience installing plumbing for homes, including new homes. Building a new home requires intricate planning and the plumbing is just one aspect that needs to be in consideration. We are a contracting company that can help with the plumbing installation for a new home. Here are some great tips we follow when installing a new plumbing system into a home.
1) Secure All Permits
It might sound silly, but the first thing anyone needs to do before starting a new project is to secure all permits. Securing the right permits will ensure that the home meets all code guidelines and safety requirements.
2) Consider the Plumbing
Once the permits are in hand, then comes the planning for the home and thinking about the plumbing needs to be right near the top of the list. Decisions needs to be made about the drain lines, plumbing, and sewer to ensure all are properly set up. While planning, considerations also need to be made regarding present and future water needs to ensure easy and safe access. Outdoor plumbing also needs to be considered while planning a new home.
3) Make a List of Rooms Needing Water Access
When planning the plumbing system for a new home, it is best to consider all of the rooms that will need water access. The bathroom, kitchen and laundry area are the three biggest priorities when it comes to laying out a plumbing system. For the bathrooms, one must consider how many will be in the home, which will impact the plumbing system and where the pipes need to go. For the kitchen, there must be a consideration for where the appliances will go because the refrigerator, dishwasher and sink all need water lines. Last, but not least, is the laundry area, where washer connections will need to be in the right place, as well as proper drainage set up to avoid water buildup on the floor. Other common aspects that may need water access include a pool, an outdoor tub, and a garden. Working off a list like this will make the planning process so much easier.
4) Centralize the Plumbing System
Installing everything for the plumbing system in one place is easier for maintenance and repairs, so for new homes planning this out is smart. Here are some appliances you should install together:
- • water heater
- • furnace
- • water softener
- • sewer connection
- • sump pump
- • sewer ejector pit
Installing all of these together in the basement is the wisest course of action.
5) Consider Water Softeners
Installing water softeners is great for homes having issues with hard water. Even if there are not any current issues, installing water softeners is a smart choice since it helps with issues down the road.
6) Wet Wall Sharing
A wet wall houses the sewer lines, water supply lines, and vent stacks. Houses will have separate walls for different rooms to house the pipes. However, homeowners can save money by sharing a wet wall. When planning, layout where the bathrooms share a wall or kitchen and laundry share a wet wall. This saves money because it will reduce labor and materials. On top of that, it will also be easier to maintain and repair the plumbing if all of the pipes are in one shared wall.
7) Easy Access to Shut-Off Valves
In case of an emergency, it is wise to have easy access to the main shut-off valve for the water. Oftentimes, this shut-off valve is in a hard-to-reach area, but by making it easier to get to you can quickly shut off the plumbing in case of a leak, ruptured pipe, or simply need to do some maintenance.
