Plumbing installation covers new fixtures in a home or business and the pipe behind them. We install toilets, faucets, sinks and garbage disposals across Salinas and the Monterey Bay Area. Tubs, shower valves, washer boxes and hose bibs are part of this work too. Remodels and new builds get the rough-in plumbing that goes in before the walls close.
Water heaters are their own job, covered under water heater installation. If the pipe behind the walls is old galvanized steel, ask about a whole-house repipe as well. For any fixture or rough-in job, call or text (831) 262-9943. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.

A toilet replacement starts at the floor. The old toilet comes off, and we check the flange, the ring in the floor that the toilet bolts to. A new wax ring or seal goes on, and the toilet is set level and bolted down. We connect the supply line, flush it a few times and check the base and the tank for leaks.
Faucet replacement starts at the shutoff valves under the sink. An old valve that will not close all the way is worth replacing while the water is off. New supply lines then run from the valves to the faucet.
Before you buy a kitchen faucet, count the holes in the sink or the counter. A one-hole faucet can go on a three-hole sink with a deck plate over the extra holes. Sink installation includes the drain fitting and the trap below it.
A garbage disposal mounts under the kitchen sink, at the drain opening. It drains through a trap, the curved pipe below it. A dishwasher drain hose connects to an inlet on the side of the disposal. On a new disposal, the plug in that inlet comes out before the hose goes on.
A disposal needs power under the sink, from an outlet or a hardwired circuit. Where the cabinet has no power, an electrician adds it before the install. Garbage disposal replacement puts the new unit in the same spot. We run water through it and check each joint for leaks.
Rough-in is the plumbing that goes in before the walls and floors close. It covers the drain and vent pipes, the water lines, the shower valve and the tub drain. In-wall carriers for wall-hung toilets and washer outlet boxes go in at this stage too. On a new build with a slab, the drain lines go into trenches before the concrete is poured.
Census figures show more than half of the homes in Salinas were built before 1980. California law has a rule for single-family homes built on or before January 1, 1994. When one is remodeled under a permit, its noncompliant fixtures must be replaced before final approval. That includes any toilet made for more than 1.6 gallons per flush.
On the Monterey Peninsula, adding fixtures takes one more step. The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District requires a water permit whenever fixtures are added. The district serves Monterey, Pacific Grove, Seaside, Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pebble Beach, among other places. The city or county signs off on the plans first, and the district does its own final inspection.
