Spread the love

One area of your home where a remodeling project can actually net a return on your investment is your kitchen. Before you embark upon the journey of kitchen remodeling, though, it’s wise to include a plumber in your planning and budget.

Do-it-yourself projects are all the rage right now, but there are some areas where an inexperienced homeowner shouldn’t try to cut their teeth. Plumbing is one of those areas, as mistakes can be costly and time-consuming to correct. Consulting a  plumber to ask a few key questions about your kitchen plumbing is always advised, especially for those with limited remodeling experience.

The first question you should ask before you begin is about the building codes specific to your area. Depending on the codes in your area, copper or plastic piping may be required. There also may be limits regarding how much you are allowed to do without a licensed plumber. You should also find out the most optimal placement for sinks and drains. Waterlines for icemakers, dishwashers and other appliances will need to be placed properly in order to be functional.

If you’re considering an island sink or a wet bar as part of your kitchen remodeling project, make sure you consult a plumber regarding the best method of installation. You will want to speak closely with your chosen plumber to ensure that you’re both on the same page about the remodel. Work together closely to make sure that your plumber knows what your vision is and how to best execute the plan. Your plumber will be able to assist you through every step of the process, working with you to ensure that your kitchen remodel goes off without a hitch.
