Remodel and New Build in Michigan Homes

Plumbing in a new Michigan home has to allow for frost. Water lines on exterior walls and in crawlspaces need protection, and drain lines need the right slope. Getting it right at rough-in avoids problems the first winter.

In older Grand Rapids homes, a remodel often uncovers aging pipe behind the walls. It is worth deciding before the drywall goes back whether to replace the old lines while they are open.

Common Questions

Who does new construction plumbing near Grand Rapids?

Eyk Plumbing installs plumbing for new homes and remodels across Kent and Ottawa Counties. We work with homeowners, builders and contractors, and handle water lines, drain lines and fixtures from rough-in to the final connection. Call us with your plans or your timeline, and we will talk through how the plumbing fits your schedule.

When should I bring a plumber into a remodel?

Early, ideally while the plans are still open. Moving a sink, adding a bathroom or finishing a basement all depend on where pipes can run. Plumbing decisions are cheaper to change on paper than after drywall and tile are installed.

Can you move plumbing fixtures in my kitchen or bathroom?

Usually, yes, though it depends on where the drain and supply lines can run. Moving a fixture a short distance is straightforward. Moving it across a room may mean opening floors or walls. We check the layout and explain what is possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rough-in is the first stage: installing the water supply and drain pipes before walls, floors and ceilings are closed. Fixtures such as sinks, toilets and faucets come later at the final stage, once surfaces are finished. Getting the rough-in right matters most, because moving a pipe after the walls close costs far more.

Yes. We coordinate with homeowners, builders and contractors on timing, inspections and layout changes. Tell us who is running the project when you call, and we will plan the plumbing around their schedule. Early contact helps most, because plumbing sits between framing and drywall and delays there affect everyone.

Yes. When a layout changes, we safely remove outdated or unused pipe so it does not get in the way of the new system. Where old lines are still in good condition we can leave them in place and connect to them.

Yes. A basement bathroom needs careful planning because drains below the main sewer line may need a different approach. We look at your slab, your existing lines and the fixture layout, and tell you what the job involves. A pump system is sometimes the answer when the drain cannot flow by gravity, and we explain when that applies.

Yes. If you are not sure which faucets, toilets or showerheads to buy, we can talk through options that suit your plumbing and your budget. Choosing early also means we can plan the rough-in around the fixtures you pick. Bring us the models you are considering, and we will check they suit your supply lines before you buy.
