Bathroom Plumbing Remodel Services in Worth, IL
Behind every smooth-running bathroom remodel is solid plumbing work that you don’t see—until something goes wrong. Faulty drain pitch, slow drainage, or an inconsistent shower valve often result from poor rough-ins. Properly installed plumbing before walls are sealed makes all the difference in long-term performance. If you tear out walls and spot signs of leaks or mold, give us a call. Our leak detection and repair skills can catch hidden damage before it becomes a costly problem.
When you reach out to us at 708-734-6594 for bathroom plumbing, here’s our approach: straightforward fixture replacements like new faucets, toilets, or showerheads in existing spots are quick jobs. Changing the layout—moving toilets, switching tubs for showers, or adding sinks—involves permits and careful adjustments to drains, vents, and supply lines. We take care of all necessary inspections and paperwork.
One key piece of advice I always share: pick your bathroom fixtures before we start roughing in the plumbing. Different brands and models have unique rough-in depths and dimensions. Finalizing your fixtures early helps us avoid costly mistakes and rework down the line, especially in older homes typical of Worth neighborhoods.
Our Bathroom Plumbing Services
Shower & Tub Plumbing
Installing shower valves right is critical — they must sit at the correct height and depth for trim and tile installation. We use pressure-balance valves mandated by Illinois code to avoid scalding, plus thermostatic valves for consistent temperatures, and multi-outlet systems for rain showers or body sprays. For tub-to-shower conversions, we'll core new drain holes, adjust slopes for proper drainage, prep waterproofing layers, and reroute water supply from tub fillers to shower valves. Freestanding tub installations with floor or wall-mounted fillers are also part of our expertise.
Toilet Installation & Relocation
Replacing a toilet in the same spot? That’s usually a quick swap—check out our fixture installation services. Moving the toilet requires rerouting the drain line, cutting through subfloor or concrete as needed, installing new flanges at the right height, and extending vent stacks. This work requires permits and inspections, which we handle. We install all types—standard height, ADA-compliant comfort height, wall-mounted, and dual-flush models. If your project includes adding bathrooms or increasing hot water demand, we can assess your water heater capacity too.
Planning accessibility upgrades like grab bars or curbless showers? Let’s coordinate early with your contractor so we can arrange blocking before drywall installation for a smooth process.
Vanity & Sink Plumbing
Whether you’re switching from a single sink to double, changing from a pedestal to a vanity, or relocating the vanity entirely, we adjust supply lines and drains accordingly. Adding a second sink means extending hot/cold water lines and possibly splitting drains with separate traps. Changing vanity sizes often requires repositioning supply stubs and drains to fit the new cabinetry.
We also replace old gate valves under sinks with modern quarter-turn ball valves while cabinets are open — a small upgrade that prevents many leaks and water damage issues. If your remodel calls for new drain lines or trap configurations, we take care of those too, including any needed drain cleaning to ensure smooth flow.
Complete Rough-In for New Bathrooms & Additions
Adding a bathroom in your Worth home requires full plumbing rough-in: running supply lines from the nearest main, tying drain lines into the existing sewer stack or building drain, installing vent pipes up through the roof or into existing vents, and setting floor flanges at the finished floor height. We handle all permits, inspections, and scheduling with your GC to stay on track. This step is crucial for code compliance and a trouble-free final inspection.

If you’re just swapping out fixtures without moving pipes, chances are you won’t need a permit. However, any changes to drains, vents, or supply lines almost always require one in Worth.
