Plumbing Mistakes to Avoid with a Kitchen Remodeling Project

One of the most popular types of home improvement projects is kitchen remodeling. For most families, the kitchen is the main gathering spot for family meals, doing homework and spending quality time together. The professionals at Gander Plumbing can help with kitchen remodeling in Rochester, and we have a few suggestions things to keep in mind when you are designing your new kitchen.

While choosing new counters and cabinetry is one of the most exciting parts of a kitchen remodeling project, the first thing you should select is your new sink. The location of the pipes in relation to where they connect to the sink can really make or break your kitchen remodeling budget. We might need to relocate the pipes or cut into your new cabinetry to get the sink hooked up. You can avoid these issues if you pick out your sink first and then make sure it fits into where the piping is.

New appliances are often included in kitchen remodeling projects, so make sure if you are having a new dishwasher installed that you have any new flooring also installed underneath the dishwasher too. This makes it easier to get the new dishwasher in underneath your new cabinets. We might have to pull out your new cabinets and counters if the new flooring is not installed under where your dishwasher will be, and this can be a bit risky. We don’t want to accidentally damage anything, so spend a few extra bucks and put new flooring down under your new dishwasher.

When we come out to assist with your kitchen remodeling, we can determine certain parts of the new plumbing and piping system. For example, we will locate where to install the new plumbing fixtures, we will lay down drain-waste-vent pipes and we will also install hot and cold water pipes if that is needed too.

Finally, make sure your other contractors know when we will be there to do our work. We want to make sure we have access to every part of your home that we need to get to, and we want to be sure we don’t get in anyone else’s way. Make sure you coordinate with your kitchen remodeling contractor so they know when to expect us. Or we can work with them directly and make sure things stay on schedule as planned.
