Behind every beautiful remodel is work no one sees — new drains, supply lines, venting, and fixtures that make the space usable for years to come.
At B&C Plumbing, we provide plumbing remodeling services for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility spaces — whether you’re updating fixtures, moving layouts, installing a tankless water heater, or replacing old galvanized piping with modern PEX.
We’re the team remodelers call when they need code-accurate, leak-free plumbing that won’t hold up the rest of the project.
Most plumbing remodel projects happen in three places:
This is where most function + frustration lives. Typical upgrades include:
Bathrooms also tend to reveal the most surprises — aging pipes, hidden leaks, or DIY fixes from past homeowners that weren’t exactly “to code.”
Kitchen remodels usually mean:
It’s less dramatic than bathrooms, but placement and venting still matter. A kitchen sink that moves three feet sometimes needs more plumbing attention than one that moves across the room.
Less glamorous, but high-impact for daily use — especially if layouts are shifting to gain storage or function.
The reasons fall into a few buckets:
Cosmetic upgrades:
Old fixtures, outdated finishes, or inefficient layouts.
Aging plumbing materials:
Older homes often hide galvanized, copper, or CPVC piping behind walls. These don’t always show problems until demo starts.
Accessibility & comfort:
Walk-in showers and comfort-height toilets are increasingly common — especially in multigenerational homes.
Repeated leaks or symptoms:
At a certain point, repair-only approaches become more expensive than replacement.
Post-purchase updates:
Many remodels start right after new owners get the keys and see what they’re working with.
Remodels are where plumbing secrets come out.
Our techs commonly discover:
One recent example:
A homeowner built a detached garage and asked us to run new water lines. Once we got into the crawl space, we found multiple leaks under the house they didn’t know existed.
Their crawl space had been collecting water quietly for years. No visible signs. No rising water bill. No suspicion until we popped our heads under the house.
That’s the reality with plumbing remodeling — you don’t always know what you’re working with until the walls come open.
Whether it’s a spot repair or a full upgrade, repiping comes down to homeowner goals. Most fall into two mindsets:
Mindset 1: Only repair what’s currently failing.
Mindset 2: “Open walls are expensive — let’s do it right all at once.”
We meet both types where they are.
When it’s time to replace aging pipes, Class A PEX is the modern standard. It holds up better over time, resists freezing, and won’t corrode the way galvanized and copper can. Once the new lines are in, homeowners often notice:
Bathroom and kitchen remodels are the perfect time to switch from a tank to a tankless water heater — especially if the home has natural gas or propane.
Tankless perks:
If the home doesn’t have natural gas or propane, we generally don’t recommend electric tankless units — they don’t deliver the same performance. In those cases, a traditional tank may still be the best choice.
Sometimes tankless installation requires:
When the walls are already open, these changes are far easier and cheaper than doing them later.
While not as common as fixture upgrades, some remodels add:
These help prevent:
North Alabama has pockets of very hard water, and plumbing appreciates the upgrade just as much as homeowners do.
Relocating showers, tubs, sinks, and toilets is where homeowners need both design vision and code compliance.
B&C helps remodelers and homeowners with:
Most layout changes happen in bathrooms, but kitchens occasionally join the party.
1. Walkthrough & Plan Review
We run the sewer camera, find the issue, and trace the line to the city tap.
2. Estimate & Scope
We collaborate with the homeowner and/or GC.
3. Demo Coordination
We typically coordinate with the remodel contractor — demo is not on our scope.
4. Install & Rough-In
New supply lines, drains, vents, and shutoffs go in.
5. Trim-Out & Fixtures
We return after tile/cabinets/counters to install fixtures and connect everything.
6. Final Testing & Warranty

Once the homeowner moves in, our service department supports the home long-term.
You’re already investing in new finishes — we help make sure the plumbing behind them supports better pressure, better function, and fewer future headaches.
