Adding a Bathroom to a Basement

If you are planning on finishing or remodeling your basement, chances are you are probably considering the addition of a bathroom. The unique challenge of adding a bathroom to a basement is the  concrete which can be labor intensive to remove. For this reason you must remove a section of concrete with either a jackhammer or a concrete saw. Typically a jackhammer is used to break up the concrete to access the plumbing drains.
 The first step is to complete your floor plan, not only for your bathroom but the entire basement. This can be made easier if you reference some of the other bathrooms in the house or perhaps a friends bathroom. Taking measurements and laying everything out on the new bathroom floor will help you get a better feel for how much space you will need. Once you have achieved your layout it is time to start on the plumbing. If you need help from a licensed plumber we would be happy to provide you with a free estimate to complete the basement rough in plumbing. The work can usually be completed in 2-3 days and usually involves hauling off around 20-25 buckets of gravel and rock. If you don't have a place to take the rock, it may be best to hire this portion out. Since we are discussing the plumbing, you should also consider future replacement of your furnace and water heater. You need to make sure that these units can be easily replaced as they will surely fail down the road. We offer water heater installations and usually recommend bradford white water heaters to our clients. For more information regarding Plumbing in your new Bathroom check out our blog.

  5. This is definitely a job for the experts to handle. Well, if you can do it, or you know someone who can do it, then go ahead and do the remodeling. But if you want to make sure that it lasts a long time, it's best to look for professional bathroom builders and plumbers to do the job for you.
