Remodeling Your Bathroom? Don’t Forget These Essential Plumbing Upgrades

If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Watertown, Beaver Dam, or Oconomowoc, it’s important to consider the plumbing behind the walls—not just the aesthetics. A great-looking bathroom with outdated plumbing can lead to leaks, poor water pressure, and costly repairs down the road.

Before you start your renovation, here are the most important plumbing upgrades to consider.


1. Upgrade to Water-Efficient Fixtures

💧 Low-flow toilets, faucets, and showerheads can reduce water usage by up to 30%.
💧 Choose touchless or smart fixtures for added convenience.
💧 Wisconsin homeowners can save on water bills with high-efficiency plumbing upgrades.


2. Move Plumbing for a Better Layout

🚰 Want to relocate your sink, shower, or toilet? You’ll need to reroute the plumbing.
🚰 A licensed plumber can ensure proper water pressure and drainage for your new layout.


3. Install a Tankless Water Heater

🔥 Get instant hot water without taking up extra space.
🔥 Energy-efficient and lasts longer than traditional water heaters.
🔥 Ideal for modern bathrooms with multiple showerheads or spa-like features.


4. Upgrade Old Pipes to Prevent Future Leaks

🔧 Older homes may have galvanized steel or outdated copper pipes, which can corrode over time.
🔧 Replacing them with PEX or PVC piping ensures long-term durability.


5. Improve Drainage to Prevent Clogs

🚿 A larger diameter drain pipe (2 inches instead of 1.5 inches) helps prevent bathroom sink and shower clogs.
🚿 Proper slope and venting are crucial to avoiding slow drains and sewer gas buildup.
