We serve homeowners throughout Sun City Center, Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Riverview, and all of Hillsborough County.

**Plumbing Considerations for Your Bathroom Remodel** A bathroom remodel involves far more than choosing tile and paint colors—the plumbing behind the walls is the foundation of the entire project. Here's what homeowners need to know: **Drain & Supply Line Relocation** – Moving a toilet, vanity, or shower to a new location requires rerouting both drain lines and water supply lines. In homes with slab foundations (common in Sun City Center), relocating drains may involve cutting into the concrete slab—a job that requires an experienced licensed plumber. **Venting Requirements** – Every drain fixture needs proper venting to prevent siphoning of p-traps and sewer gas intrusion. Florida building code has strict venting requirements that must be met during any bathroom renovation. **Water Pressure & Pipe Sizing** – Adding new fixtures or upgrading to rainfall showerheads and body sprays requires adequate water pressure and properly sized supply lines. Our plumbers evaluate your existing system and make upgrades as needed. **Shut-Off Valve Upgrades** – Older homes often have corroded or non-functional shut-off valves. A remodel is the perfect time to install modern quarter-turn ball valves at every fixture for reliable water control.

**Fixture Upgrades That Add Value** Modern bathroom fixtures combine style, efficiency, and technology: • **Low-flow toilets** – 1.28 GPF models save thousands of gallons annually without sacrificing flush performance • **Touchless faucets** – Sensor-activated faucets reduce water waste and improve hygiene • **Thermostatic shower valves** – Maintain consistent temperature and prevent scalding—especially important for senior homeowners • **Freestanding tubs** – A luxury upgrade that requires specialized drain and supply connections • **Bidet seats** – Increasingly popular, requiring a nearby electrical outlet and water supply connection • **Dual-flush toilets** – Offer a choice between a light flush (0.8 GPF) and full flush (1.6 GPF) for maximum water savings

**Accessibility Modifications** Many Sun City Center homeowners are planning bathroom remodels with aging-in-place features. Kabam Plumbing installs plumbing for accessibility upgrades including: • **Walk-in showers** – Replacing tubs with curbless or low-threshold showers, including proper slope and linear drain installation • **ADA-height toilets** – Comfort-height (17-19 inch) toilets that are easier to use for those with mobility challenges • **Grab bar blocking** – We install wood blocking behind walls during remodels so grab bars can be securely mounted later • **Handheld showerheads** – Adjustable-height slide bar installations with flexible hose connections • **Anti-scald valves** – Pressure-balanced or thermostatic valves that prevent sudden temperature spikes

**Typical Bathroom Remodel Timeline** Understanding the timeline helps set realistic expectations: • **Planning & Design** (1-2 weeks) – Fixture selection, layout decisions, and plumbing assessment • **Rough-In Plumbing** (1-3 days) – Moving or installing drain lines, supply lines, and venting. This is done before walls are closed up. • **Inspection** (1 day) – Hillsborough County requires a rough-in plumbing inspection before walls can be finished • **Finish Work** (1-2 days) – Final fixture connections including faucets, toilets, shower trim, and drain assemblies • **Total plumbing time**: Typically 3-6 days spread across the project timeline We coordinate closely with your general contractor or can recommend trusted partners for tile, electrical, and finish work.
