FAQs

What plumbing fixtures can be replaced during a full bathroom remodel?

In a comprehensive remodel we can replace or relocate any water-using or drain-connected fixture, including tubs, showers, toilets, bidets, faucets, sinks, shower valves, body-spray systems, shower pans, and all associated supply lines and drains. If desired, we can also upgrade shut-off valves, traps, and venting to meet current South Carolina plumbing code.

Do I need a permit to change or move bathroom plumbing in Charleston?

Yes. The City of Charleston Building Inspection Division requires a plumbing permit whenever supply or drain lines are added, relocated, or significantly modified. As a licensed Charleston plumbing contractor, we handle the permit application, schedule all required inspections, and ensure that the finished work passes both rough-in and final inspections before the walls are closed and fixtures are set.

How long does it usually take to replace bathroom plumbing fixtures?

Most straight fixture swaps (e.g., toilet or faucet replacements) are done in one day. Full remodels involving new rough-in plumbing generally take 5–10 working days for the plumbing portion: 1–2 days for demolition and rough-in, an inspection day, and 1–2 days for setting and testing new fixtures. Timelines can extend if we discover hidden water damage or if specialty fixtures have long lead times.

Can you install high-efficiency or water-saving fixtures?

Absolutely. We regularly install EPA WaterSense-certified faucets, dual-flush or 1.28-gpf toilets, low-flow showerheads, and thermostatic mixing valves that maintain consistent temperature while reducing waste. Many of these upgrades qualify for Charleston Water System rebates, and they can reduce household water use by up to 30 % without sacrificing performance.

Will new plumbing fixtures add value to my Charleston home?

Yes. Realtors report that updated bathrooms rank among the top three return-on-investment projects in the Lowcountry. New, code-compliant fixtures improve buyer appeal, reduce the risk of inspection issues, and may boost resale value by 50–70 % of the remodel cost. Water-saving upgrades and stylish finishes such as matte black or brushed gold further enhance marketability.

How should I prepare my bathroom for fixture replacement?

Before our crew arrives, clear personal items from vanities, medicine cabinets, and shower niches, and provide a clear path from the entry door to the bathroom. If you have pets, please keep them secured. We will shut off water temporarily, so plan alternate restroom access. We protect floors and adjacent rooms with drop cloths and will haul away old fixtures for recycling or disposal when the job is complete.
