You’re not remodeling your bathroom just to make it look nice. You’re doing it because the current setup doesn’t work anymore, and you want something that will last without constant repairs or hidden water damage eating away at your walls.
When bathroom fixture installation and pipe rerouting services are done correctly from the start, you don’t worry about leaks six months later. You don’t deal with mold growing behind your new tile because someone cut corners on waterproofing. You don’t face insurance headaches because outdated cast iron pipes weren’t replaced when they should have been.
Homes in Eau Gallie built before 1975 often have cast iron drain lines that are already past their reliable lifespan. Florida’s humidity and corrosive environment accelerate deterioration. If you’re opening up walls for a remodel anyway, now’s the time to upgrade to PEX or copper supply lines and PVC drain systems that won’t fail you.
A proper bathroom renovation means you can actually use and enjoy the space without second-guessing whether something’s slowly going wrong where you can’t see it.
We’ve been handling residential plumbing throughout Brevard County since 2007. We’re based in Cocoa, family-owned, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the work right the first time.
Our team brings over 40 years of combined plumbing experience. That includes everything from new construction to complete bathroom remodels to replacing failing sewer lines under slabs. We know what Florida’s climate does to plumbing systems, and we know what it takes to make your renovation last.
Eau Gallie homeowners deal with unique challenges. The area’s older housing stock, the salt air, the humidity—it all matters when you’re planning a bathroom renovation plumbing project. We take the time to assess what you actually need, show you what’s happening with camera inspections when necessary, and give you transparent options based on your home’s layout and your budget.
First, we come out and look at what you’re working with. We assess your existing plumbing, check the condition of your supply and drain lines, and talk through what you want in the finished bathroom. If your home was built before the mid-70s, we’ll likely recommend a camera inspection so you can see exactly what’s happening inside those pipes.
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we map out the plumbing work. That includes shower and tub replacement connections, vanity plumbing for new sinks, proper drain line routing, and any pipe rerouting services needed to accommodate your new layout. Everything gets planned to current Florida building codes.
During the remodel, we rough in all new supply lines and drains. We make sure everything is properly waterproofed and vented—critical in Florida’s humidity. We install your fixtures once walls and tile are finished. Then we test everything, check for leaks, verify water pressure, and make sure drains flow correctly.
You get a bathroom that works exactly how it should, with plumbing that’s built to handle the next several decades without problems.

Your bathroom remodeling plumbing covers everything from removing old fixtures and outdated pipes to installing modern, efficient systems that meet current codes.
We handle complete shower and tub replacement, including proper drain connections, mixing valve installation, and supply line routing for rain showerheads or multi-head systems. Vanity plumbing includes new supply lines, shut-off valves, drain assemblies, and proper venting. If you’re adding a soaking tub or upgrading to a walk-in shower, we make sure the plumbing infrastructure supports it.
In Eau Gallie, many bathroom renovations also mean dealing with aging cast iron pipes. We replace deteriorated sections with durable PVC drain lines and upgrade old galvanized supply pipes to PEX or copper. This isn’t just about the remodel—it’s about preventing future problems that could cost you thousands in water damage repairs.
We also integrate water-efficient fixtures that reduce your utility costs without sacrificing performance. Florida homeowners insurance is increasingly strict about older plumbing systems, and some carriers won’t cover homes with failing cast iron pipes. Upgrading during your remodel protects both your investment and your insurability.
If your home was built before 1975, yes. You likely have cast iron drain pipes under the slab or in the walls, and they’re already at or past their expected lifespan in Florida’s environment.
Cast iron deteriorates faster here because of humidity, soil conditions, and the corrosive nature of our groundwater. Warning signs include slow drains, frequent backups, low water pressure, rust-colored water, or sewage odors. Once you open up walls for a bathroom renovation, replacing those pipes is far cheaper than dealing with an emergency failure later.
We replace old cast iron with PVC for drain lines and upgrade galvanized or old copper supply lines to PEX or new copper. These materials last 50+ years and won’t corrode like the old systems. It’s also worth noting that some insurance companies in Florida won’t cover homes with aging cast iron pipes, or they charge significantly higher premiums. Upgrading now protects your home’s value and your insurance coverage.
The plumbing portion of a typical bathroom remodel takes about three to five days, depending on the scope of work and whether we’re replacing pipes or just relocating fixtures.
If you’re doing a straightforward fixture swap—new toilet, vanity, and shower—with minimal pipe rerouting, we can rough in and finish the plumbing in two to three days. If you’re reconfiguring the layout, adding a walk-in shower, or replacing old cast iron and galvanized pipes, expect closer to five days or more.
The timeline also depends on coordination with other trades. We rough in supply and drain lines after demo and before tile or drywall goes up. Then we come back to install fixtures once walls are finished. We work around your contractor’s schedule to keep the project moving. Most delays happen because of unexpected issues behind walls—another reason why addressing old pipes during the remodel saves time in the long run.
A bathroom remodeler handles the overall project—demo, framing, tile, fixtures, finishes. A licensed plumber handles the technical work that keeps your bathroom from leaking or failing code inspection.
You need both, but they’re not interchangeable. Plumbing work requires specific licensing, knowledge of building codes, and expertise in waterproofing, venting, and pressure systems. A general remodeler might install a vanity, but a plumber makes sure the supply lines, shut-off valves, drain assembly, and venting are done correctly so you don’t have leaks or code violations.
In Florida, plumbing work must be performed by a licensed contractor and inspected. If your remodeler isn’t a licensed plumber, they’ll subcontract that portion out—or you hire us directly. We work with remodelers all the time, and we also handle the full plumbing scope for homeowners managing their own projects. Either way, the plumbing needs to be done right, or everything else in that bathroom is at risk.
Yes, but we’ll need to verify they meet code requirements and are compatible with your plumbing setup before we start the rough-in work.
Some fixtures homeowners buy online look great but aren’t designed for Florida’s building codes or don’t match standard rough-in dimensions. If we find an issue, we’ll let you know before we start so you can exchange it or adjust your plan. It’s easier to handle that upfront than after we’ve already roughed in the plumbing.
We’re also happy to source fixtures for you if you’d rather have us handle that part. We work with suppliers who carry quality products at fair prices, and we know which brands hold up in Florida’s environment. Either way, we make sure what gets installed works correctly and won’t cause problems down the road. The goal is a finished bathroom you can use confidently, not one that looks good for six months and then starts leaking.
For a standard bathroom with fixture replacement and minimal pipe rerouting, expect plumbing costs between $2,500 and $5,000. If you’re reconfiguring the layout, replacing old pipes, or adding high-end fixtures, costs typically range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.
The biggest cost factors are the scope of pipe replacement, how much rerouting is needed, fixture quality, and whether we’re working on a slab foundation or crawlspace. Replacing cast iron drain lines or rerouting supply lines through concrete adds labor and materials. Walk-in showers with multiple heads, freestanding tubs, and custom vanity setups also increase costs.
We provide upfront pricing after assessing your project. You’ll know what the work costs before we start, with no surprises. We also explain what’s necessary versus optional, so you can make decisions based on your budget and priorities. Investing in quality plumbing work during your remodel saves you from expensive emergency repairs and water damage later—something we see too often when homeowners go with the cheapest bid.
Yes. Any plumbing work that involves new fixtures, pipe rerouting, or replacing drain and supply lines requires a permit in Brevard County, and we handle that process.
We pull the necessary permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything meets Florida building codes. The rough-in inspection happens after we install supply and drain lines but before walls are closed up. The final inspection happens after fixtures are installed and the bathroom is complete.
Some homeowners worry permits slow things down, but they actually protect you. Permitted work ensures everything is done to code, which matters for resale value, insurance coverage, and your safety. Unpermitted plumbing work can cause major problems if you ever sell your home or file an insurance claim. We’ve been doing this long enough to know how to keep inspections on schedule without delaying your project.
