The St Louis angle on remodels

Signs your remodel needs a plumber
The rule is simple: anything behind the wall or under the floor is pro work. Here is the checklist.
- You are moving any fixture — toilet, sink, tub, or shower — from its current location.
- Converting a tub to a shower or adding a second sink.
- Galvanized or polybutylene supply lines exposed during demolition.
- An older home where the existing plumbing predates current code.
- Adding a bathroom or wet bar where no plumbing exists yet.
What remodel plumbing includes
The invisible work determines whether the visible work lasts. Expect the pro to cover both.
- Rough-in plumbing: supply and drain lines run to the new fixture locations.
- Drain, waste, and vent layout verified for proper slope and venting.
- Fixture installation: toilets, sinks, faucets, showers, tubs, and dishwashers.
- Gas line work for relocated ranges, dryers, or fire features, where needed.
- Coordination with your general contractor on sequencing and inspections.
- Final trim-out, leak checks, and pressure testing before handoff.
Before the walls open
A little planning prevents the most expensive words in remodeling: 'while the wall is open anyway.'
Safe to do now
- Finalize your fixture layout before the plumber starts — changes mid-rough-in are expensive.
- Choose and purchase fixtures early so rough-in dimensions match.
- Photograph the open walls showing new pipe runs before drywall goes up.
- Keep a clear path and workspace for the plumbing crew during rough-in.
Stop — call a pro
- Do not close walls before the plumbing rough-in is inspected.
- Moving drain lines yourself — slope and venting rules are unforgiving.
- Setting a toilet or connecting a shower valve without checking the rough-in dimensions.
- Skipping permits on plumbing changes — it complicates future sales and insurance.
The process, step by step
From your floor plan to the first shower in the new bathroom — how it progresses.
Plan review: the pro reviews your layout and flags what the plumbing will require — moves, venting, and code upgrades.
Rough-in: new drain, supply, and vent lines are run and left ready for inspection before walls close.
Inspection: the rough-in is pressure-tested and inspected per local code.
Finish: after walls and tile, fixtures get set, connected, sealed, and tested.
Where the money goes
The layout decisions you make on paper drive the plumbing price. Here is what matters most.
- How far fixtures move — across the room costs far more than a like-for-like swap.
- Whether drain lines need rerouting under a slab versus through accessible framing.
- Bringing old work up to current code — venting, shutoffs, and anti-scald valves.
- Fixture count and complexity — body sprays, pot fillers, and double vanities add rough-in work.
- Permit and inspection fees for the plumbing scope.
