Residential Rough-In FAQs
Rough-in is the first phase of new construction plumbing where we install all pipes hidden within walls, floors, and ceilings – supply lines, drain/waste/vent (DWV) piping, and fixture connections – before drywall goes up. This work must pass inspection before the project can proceed.
New construction has three phases: 1) Rough-In: Install all hidden piping before drywall. 2) Top-Out: Connect roof vents, final DWV connections. 3) Trim-Out: Install visible fixtures (faucets, toilets, water heater) after finishes are complete. Each phase requires inspection.
Rough-in for a typical single-family home takes 2-4 days depending on size and complexity. Multi-bathroom homes, custom features, or difficult layouts take longer. We coordinate with your GC to stay on schedule.
Absolutely. We work with builders, GCs, and homeowners throughout Tyler TX and East Texas on new construction projects. We understand builder timelines, inspection requirements, and the importance of showing up when scheduled.
We use PEX for water supply lines (flexible, freeze-resistant, code-compliant) and PVC/ABS for DWV (drain, waste, vent) lines per Texas code requirements. Copper is available where preferred or required. All materials meet or exceed local building codes.
