Step-by-Step Guide to Upgrading Your Bathroom Plumbing
1. Start with a Plumbing Inspection
The first step is understanding your current system. Our team offers comprehensive inspections to evaluate your existing bathroom infrastructure. We check for outdated piping, corroded joints, low water pressure, and inefficient fixtures.
This inspection helps us determine whether you need a full re-pipe or just a few targeted upgrades — saving you time and money.
2. Choose the Right Fixtures
Modern fixtures require the right plumbing support. Whether you're installing a luxury rainfall shower, a freestanding tub, or a high-efficiency toilet, Gibson Plumbing’s bath plumbers ensure everything connects seamlessly.
We help homeowners choose fixtures that match their style and meet plumbing capacity requirements — avoiding future pressure or drainage issues.
3. Upgrade to Modern Piping
If your home was built before the 1990s, there’s a good chance your bathroom plumbing uses outdated materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene. These materials are prone to corrosion and cracking.
Our residential bathroom plumbing team replaces old lines with durable, high-performance piping like PEX or copper. These materials offer improved water flow, longevity, and resistance to leaks.
4. Improve Water Pressure and Drainage
Nothing ruins a shower like weak water pressure or slow drains. Gibson Plumbing Service assesses your supply lines and venting system to ensure consistent pressure and fast drainage.
We also install high-flow shower valves, pressure-balancing valves, and updated traps to make your daily routine smoother and more enjoyable.
5. Water Heater and Line Compatibility
If you're installing a larger tub or multi-jet shower, your water heater and supply lines may need an upgrade. Our licensed bath plumbers evaluate your entire system and recommend the best heater size and line diameter to meet your needs.
For families or homes with multiple bathrooms, we may suggest tankless water heaters or recirculation systems to deliver hot water faster and more efficiently.
6. Leak Detection and Prevention Systems
As part of our bathroom plumbing services, we offer smart leak detection systems that alert you to any unusual water activity. These can be paired with automatic shutoff valves to prevent major water damage in the event of a burst pipe or leak — giving you peace of mind long after your upgrade is complete.
7. Expert Installation and Clean Finish
Plumbing upgrades require technical precision, especially when integrating with tile, cabinetry, and flooring. Our Gibson Plumbing Service professionals are trained to install plumbing behind walls, under floors, and around structural elements without disrupting your home’s aesthetic.
We guarantee clean, code-compliant installations that stand the test of time.
