What We Rough In (and Why It Matters)

A proper rough-in sets accurate locations, slopes, and support for everything that comes later. We handle:

  • Drain & vent piping (ABS/Cast Iron/PVC) with correct sizing and slope for reliable flow
  • Water supply lines (PEX/copper) with shut-offs placed where you’ll actually need them
  • Toilet, shower, tub & vanity stubs set to finish heights for a clean final look
  • Laundry boxes & floor drains with trap primers where required
  • Backwater & clean out access for future maintenance (smart insurance against backups)
  • Pressure & leak testing + inspection coordination
