Inspection-Ready New Construction Plumbing Services in Berkeley, CA

Residential New Build Plumbing in Berkeley

For new homes, our residential new construction plumbing includes the complete installation of water supply lines, drain waste vent systems, and gas lines. We confirm proper sizing and pressure for all fixtures, from showers to kitchen sinks, while accounting for local water quality and potential foundation movement. Homes on hard water see scale on fixtures and water heaters, while very soft water can be slightly corrosive to older copper pipe. Our process includes meticulous planning to prevent future slab leaks or drainage issues tied to the soil under your lot.

Water Heater and Recirculation Installation in Berkeley, CA

New homes often use tank water heaters in the garage, basement or utility room, or tankless units on an exterior wall. We size the heater to your bathroom count and install gas or electric connections, venting, an expansion tank and drain pan where required. Many owners add a dedicated recirculation line during rough-in, which is far cheaper than retrofitting later. Homes on hard water see scale on fixtures and water heaters, while very soft water can be slightly corrosive to older copper pipe. If treatment makes sense for your water, we suggest planning space for a softener or filter loop at the same time.

Rough-In and Top-Out Plumbing in Berkeley, CA

Once framing is up, we run supply and vent lines through the walls and attic and set every stub-out for sinks, tubs, showers and appliances. We typically install PEX-A with a central manifold so each fixture gets its own line and shutoff. Shower valves are set at the heights you choose, and tub sets are installed and protected before the drywall is hung. A full pressure test is held for inspection so nothing hidden in the walls is ever a question.

Gas Line Installation for New Construction in Berkeley, CA

Proper and safe gas line installation is a key component of new construction plumbing. Our certified technicians install new gas lines for appliances like furnaces, water heaters, stoves, and outdoor grills. We use approved materials and conduct rigorous leak testing to ensure the safety and integrity of your gas system, meeting all Northern California and local Berkeley codes.

Guest House, ADU and Addition Plumbing in Berkeley, CA

Guest houses and additions need plumbing that ties into the existing house without overloading old drain lines. We locate the existing sewer, check its condition with a camera and verify there is enough fall to the new building. Supply lines can be branched from the main house or run as a separate service, depending on distance and pressure. We also handle the trenching between structures and restore the yard when we are done.

FBL Plumbing handles all required plumbing permits and coordinates with local Berkeley inspectors throughout the new construction process.

Our knowledge of local regulations means your project stays compliant, avoiding delays and ensuring the long-term validity of your plumbing system.

Final Trim and Fixture Setting in Berkeley

At trim we install toilets, faucets, garbage disposals, dishwashers, ice maker boxes and laundry connections. We work with fixtures from Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard and the other brands builders commonly specify, or with owner-supplied fixtures. Every fixture is checked for flow, drainage and leaks, and angle stops are set straight and tight. We finish by running every fixture at once to confirm the system drains and vents properly under load.
