Plumbing Installations

Professional plumbing installation for new construction, home additions, remodels, and fixture upgrades throughout Chicagoland.

Plumbing Built to Last

Whether you’re building an addition, finishing a basement, remodeling a kitchen, or replacing aging pipes throughout your home, David Mechanical provides professional plumbing installation services that are done right, to code, and built to last. We work on new construction, home additions, and fixture installations for homeowners and contractors throughout Homer Glen and the greater Chicagoland area.

New Construction and Home Additions

Plumbing rough-in is one of the most critical phases of any construction project. The supply lines, drain lines, and vent pipes installed inside your walls and floors determine where every fixture can go — and mistakes are expensive to fix later. David Mechanical provides accurate, code-compliant rough-in for new construction and home additions. We coordinate with your general contractor to hit the schedule, and we communicate clearly about what we need before and after our phase of work.

Whole-House Repiping

Homes built before the 1980s often have galvanized steel supply lines that have spent decades slowly corroding from the inside. The symptoms are low water pressure, discolored water, and frequent leaks at fittings. Polybutylene pipe, installed in many homes from the 1970s through the mid-1990s, is prone to failure and is no longer accepted by most home insurers. Whole-house repiping with copper or PEX renews your entire water supply system in one project. We minimize drywall disruption by routing flexible PEX through existing spaces where possible, and we patch what we open.

Bathroom and Kitchen Fixture Installation

A new faucet, toilet, showerhead, or sink can make a meaningful difference in how a room looks and functions. David Mechanical installs all types of plumbing fixtures — single and double-handle faucets, wall-mount and undermount sinks, one-piece and two-piece toilets, walk-in shower valves, soaking tub filler valves, and everything in between. We install fixtures correctly the first time, including proper supply connections, shut-off valves, and drain assemblies, so they function reliably and don’t leak.

Kitchen and Laundry Installations

Kitchen and laundry room plumbing installations involve more than just hooking up a supply line. Garbage disposal installation requires proper drain assembly and electrical coordination. Dishwasher connections need the right drain loop and hot water supply. Washing machine hookups require correctly sized hot and cold supplies and a properly vented standpipe. We handle all of these correctly — including the details that matter for long-term performance and leak prevention.

Outdoor Plumbing

Outdoor plumbing extends your home’s utility and enjoyment. We install frost-proof hose bibs to prevent freezing damage, run gas lines to outdoor kitchens, grills, fire pits, and patio heaters, and install irrigation system connections at the main supply. Outdoor installations require proper materials, winterization planning, and code-compliant connections — we address all of these so your outdoor plumbing performs reliably season after season.

Permitted, Inspected, Done Right

We pull permits for all work that requires them, schedule municipal inspections, and provide documentation for your records. Permitted plumbing work protects your home’s value at resale, satisfies your homeowner’s insurance, and gives you confidence that the installation was inspected by a third party. We never cut corners on the permit and inspection process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does rough-in plumbing mean?
Rough-in plumbing is the stage of construction where supply lines, drain lines, and vent pipes are installed inside the walls, floors, and ceilings — before drywall, tile, or finishes go in. It establishes the foundation for all your fixtures. Getting rough-in locations right is critical; moving a drain after tile is installed is expensive and disruptive.
Can you repipe my entire house?
Yes. Whole-house repiping replaces deteriorated galvanized steel or polybutylene supply lines with copper or cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) throughout your home. We minimize drywall cuts by running PEX through existing spaces where possible, and we patch what we do open. The result is a completely renewed water supply system that should last 50+ years.
How long does new construction rough-in take?
For a typical residential addition or new bathroom, rough-in takes 1 to 3 days. Full new construction rough-in for a home depends on size and complexity. We coordinate closely with your general contractor to stay on schedule and complete our work when the build is ready for it.
Do I need a permit for plumbing installations?
Yes, for most work involving new pipe runs, water heater replacements, and any work that opens walls or floors. We pull all required permits, schedule the necessary inspections, and handle the code compliance side so you don't have to. Permitted work also protects your home's resale value and your homeowner's insurance coverage.
What is PEX piping and is it better than copper?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is a flexible plastic piping that has become the standard for residential water supply in new construction. It's faster to install than copper, resistant to freeze cracking, and doesn't corrode. Copper remains an excellent choice for longevity and is preferred by some municipalities and lenders. We use both and will recommend the right material for your specific project.
Can you add a bathroom to my home addition?
Yes. Adding a bathroom to an addition involves extending supply lines, tying into the drain-waste-vent system, and rough-in for all the new fixtures. We coordinate with your contractor on the timing and layout, and we ensure the new bathroom's plumbing meets code for your municipality.
