Obtaining the right permits: remodeling your bedroom or bathroom? If your project requires any additional plumbing fixtures, or moving plumbing from one area of the room to another you may need special permits. This is a job best left to the professionals who will be able to keep your home safe and up-to-code during the remodel.

Quick access, little mess: have a plumbing problem behind a wall, in the floor or in the ceiling? Most homeowners don’t know how to locate the exact source, and can make a big mess taking down walls or breaking through the ground. A trained professional will have a better understanding of where the problem is coming from and can often limit the mess to a small area.
