New Construction Plumbing in Murfreesboro
Building a new home or adding on to the one you have? We plumb it from the first pipe under the slab to the final fixture, and we put the full scope and pricing factors in writing before any work starts, so nothing gets added later without your say.
Plumbing done right while the walls are still open
New construction is the one time every pipe in your home is easy to reach. Once the slab is poured and the drywall is hung, changes get expensive. That is why we spend real time on the plans with you up front: where each fixture goes, how the water heater will be fed, and where the shutoffs will sit so you can find them years from now.
We hold a Tennessee CMC-A plumbing license, and the work is laid out to pass inspection the first time. Before we start, you get a written quote that lists what we are installing and what could change the price. If something on site turns out different from the plans, we talk to you before it costs you anything.
Every stage of your new home's plumbing
- Going over the plans together
- Before any pipe is cut, we sit down with you or your builder, read through the floor plan and fixture list, sketch the pipe routes and point out anything that would be costly to move later.
- Underground rough-in
- Drain, waste and vent piping set below the slab or in the crawlspace, sloped correctly and tested before concrete is poured or the floor is closed in.
- Top-out water and vent lines
- Supply lines run through the framing to every fixture location, with stub-outs at the right heights. Where the layout allows, we route supply pipes through interior walls, because a deep cold snap can still freeze a line that sits right behind the siding.
- Water service and backflow protection
- We tie your home into the water meter and fit backflow prevention wherever code requires it. Because we are backflow certified, testing that device is handled as part of the job rather than as a second visit.
- Water heater and fixture trim-out
- Once drywall and finishes are done, we set toilets, sinks, tubs, showers and the water heater. A tankless unit or whole home water filtration is much easier to plan in now than to add later.
When you need a new construction plumber
Your plans are drawn
Once you have a floor plan, it is the right time to get plumbing priced. Fixture counts and locations drive most of the cost.
You are adding a bathroom or addition
A new bath, laundry room or in-law suite needs new drain and supply lines tied into your existing system, plus its own permit and inspections.
You are hiring the trades yourself
Some owners manage their own build, and some builders leave the choice of plumber to the owner. In either case, we plan our visits around your timeline and stay in step with the framing and concrete crews.
The slab date is coming up
Underground plumbing has to be in and inspected before the pour. If that date is a few weeks out, it is time to get on the schedule.
How a new construction job runs
- 1
Walk the plans and quote in writing
We review the drawings, ask how you will use each space and give you a written quote that spells out scope, materials and the things that could move the price.
- 2
Permit and underground rough-in
We pull the plumbing permit, then install and pressure test the underground piping. The inspector signs off before the slab or subfloor goes down.
- 3
Top-out and second inspection
With framing up, we run supply and vent lines, test the whole system for leaks and call for the rough-in inspection before insulation and drywall.
- 4
Trim-out, final inspection and walkthrough
We set fixtures and the water heater, put every connection under pressure and get the inspector's final sign-off. Before we leave, we show you where each shutoff valve is and how it works, and the work area is cleaned up. Our work carries a 2-year warranty.
What shapes the price of new construction plumbing
No two builds share the same layout, so your price comes from your own drawings instead of a flat rate. The written quote breaks out each of the factors below, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. If the plan changes mid-build, you get the added cost on paper before we touch the extra work.
- Number of fixtures and bathrooms
- Each item on the plan, from a powder room sink to an outdoor hose bib, needs its own pipe, fittings and labor. Bathrooms that share a wall or stack one over another keep the drain and supply runs short, which keeps the cost down too.
- Slab or crawlspace
- Many homes around Murfreesboro sit on slabs, so underground work has to be finished and inspected on a tight schedule. A crawlspace leaves more working room but can call for longer pipe runs.
- Pipe and fixture choices
- PEX, copper and the fixtures you choose each come with different material costs. We are glad to price more than one option side by side.
- Water heater type and extras
- A tankless water heater, recirculation line or filtration system takes extra planning and parts. Adding it now still costs less than retrofitting once the walls are closed.
- Distance to the meter
- A long stretch between the street meter and your home, or rocky soil along the route, means more trenching and more pipe.
New construction plumbing questions
Something not covered here? (615) 282-5809
Do you work directly with homeowners or only with builders?
We do both. Plenty of our new construction customers are homeowners building a custom house or putting on an addition. We are happy to line up our visits with your builder, framers and concrete crew so the plumbing never holds them up.
Who pulls the permit and handles inspections?
That is on us. We pull the plumbing permit and book each inspection. Most builds go through an underground inspection, a rough-in inspection before drywall and a final once the fixtures are in, and you will not have to chase any of them.
Should I go with PEX or copper?
PEX is the common choice in new homes now. It bends instead of splitting in a hard freeze, and it takes less labor to install. Copper still has people who prefer it, so we will walk you through the tradeoffs and price both if you would like to compare.
What if my plans change partway through?
That happens on most builds, and it is fine. We explain what the change touches and what it costs, written down, before we do the work. Your final bill only holds what you already agreed to.
Is the work covered after it is finished?
Yes. Everything we install comes with a 2-year warranty. If a pipe, fitting or fixture we put in gives you trouble in that window, call us and we will send someone out to check it.
Can I pay over time?
Yes, financing options are available. For payment, cash and all major credit cards both work. When we review your estimate together, we can sort out what fits your build budget.
