New construction plumbing done right from the start
There is no room for shortcuts in new construction plumbing, because once the walls close and the slab is poured, mistakes are expensive to fix. Getting it right from the start means correct pipe sizing, proper venting and drainage, code compliance, and quality materials that will last the life of the home.
We work from your plans, coordinate with your schedule and other trades, and handle the rough-in and finish work so your plumbing is solid before it disappears behind the walls.

What kinds of projects do you handle?
Whether you are a homeowner building a custom home, a contractor who needs a reliable plumbing partner, or adding on to an existing home, we bring the same care and code-compliance to every build.
Why proper rough-in matters
The rough-in is the part nobody sees, and the part that matters most. Correctly sized supply lines give you good water pressure at every fixture. Proper drain slope and venting prevent slow drains, gurgling, and sewer gas. Well-planned pipe routing avoids future problems. Get the rough-in right, and the home’s plumbing works quietly for decades. Get it wrong, and you are opening walls to fix it. This is why using a licensed, experienced plumber for new construction is worth it, not a place to cut costs.
Permits, code, and inspections
New construction plumbing requires permits and inspections at multiple stages, and for good reason, because the inspections verify the work is safe and to code before it is covered up. We handle the permits and coordinate the rough-in and final inspections with Catawba County or the City of Hickory as part of the job. Doing it right and documented protects the homeowner and keeps the project on track. Cutting corners on permits causes problems at inspection, at sale, and if anything ever goes wrong.

Local factors for new construction in Hickory
- Growth. As the Catawba Valley grows, new homes and additions are going up across the area, from infill in established neighborhoods to new builds near the lake.
- City versus well and septic. Homes inside Hickory connect to city water and sewer, while rural builds toward the county edges may need a well and septic system, which changes the plumbing plan.
- Soft city water. Homes on Hickory’s soft city water benefit from gentle water that is easy on new fixtures and water heaters.
- Foothills climate. Proper pipe placement and insulation matter in a climate with real winter freezes, and we build that in from the start.
