Relocating and adding to
plumbing systems can be
very expensive on a remodeling
job. Since plumbing codes are
stringent and complicated, it's always
best to call in a professional plumber
before giving a final estimate. Still,

to recognize on an initial visit to a

you and your client plan well and
avoid surprises.
For any plumbing system you
should ask four basic questions:
• Has the existing plumbing caused
hidden damage you will be responsible
for once the job is started?
• Will your plumber be able to work
with the existing plumbing, or will
it be impractical to connect the
new to the old?
•
