What Is Rough-In Plumbing?
Rough-in plumbing is the stage of a construction or renovation project where the required water supply, drain and vent piping is installed or modified before the finished walls, cabinets, flooring and plumbing fixtures are completed.
This is the plumbing that will eventually sit behind your finished bathroom, kitchen, laundry room or basement development.
Because much of the plumbing becomes difficult to access once a renovation is finished, careful planning during the rough-in stage helps make sure the plumbing works with the final room layout.

Developing Your Basement?
Basement development is one of the most common reasons Edmonton-area homeowners need rough-in plumbing.
Adding a basement bathroom, laundry room, wet bar or secondary suite can require new or modified water supply, drainage and vent plumbing before the walls and finished surfaces are installed.
Studio Plumbing can review the planned basement layout and complete the agreed plumbing rough-in so the required plumbing is positioned for the fixtures included in the project.
Basement Rough-In May Include
Rough-In Plumbing for Basement & Secondary Suites
Creating a secondary suite can involve significantly more plumbing than adding a single fixture.
Depending on the approved layout, the project may include plumbing for a kitchen, bathroom, laundry area and other water-connected fixtures.
Studio Plumbing can complete the agreed residential plumbing portion of a secondary suite project and coordinate applicable plumbing permit and inspection requirements based on the project scope and municipality.
Secondary Suite Plumbing Can Include
Building or Renovating a Bathroom?
A bathroom rough-in establishes the plumbing locations needed for the fixtures in the finished room.
If you're adding a bathroom or changing an existing layout, plumbing may need to be installed or relocated for the toilet, vanity, shower, bathtub and other fixtures.
Having the final layout and fixture locations available before rough-in helps the plumbing work line up with the bathroom that is actually being built.

Changing Your Kitchen Layout?
Kitchen renovations can require rough-in plumbing when sinks, dishwashers or other water-connected fixtures are being moved or added.
Plumbing should be considered before new cabinetry and countertops are installed so the water and drain locations work with the finished kitchen design.
Cabinet plans, fixture specifications and the final sink location can be particularly helpful when preparing for kitchen rough-in plumbing.

Good Rough-In Plumbing Starts With the Final Layout
Fixture locations, cabinetry, framing and finished walls can all affect where the plumbing needs to be installed. Having the project layout confirmed before rough-in can help reduce unnecessary changes later.
Rough-In Plumbing Needs to Be Inspected at the Right Stage
Plumbing permit and inspection requirements depend on the municipality and the work being completed. Projects that install or alter plumbing may require applicable permits and inspections.
For rough-in work requiring inspection, the plumbing needs to remain accessible for the applicable inspection before affected areas are covered with finished materials.
Studio Plumbing can coordinate applicable plumbing permit and inspection requirements as part of the agreed plumbing scope.
