Custom Bathroom in Fort Lauderdale, FL, Built From the Pipes Out

A custom bathroom is a lot more than new tile. Moving a shower drain, widening a doorway or trading a tub for a curbless walk-in means opening the wall and sometimes the slab, and in Fort Lauderdale that is where the real work hides. The concrete block houses in Victoria Park, Tarpon River, Rio Vista and Coral Ridge were built without basements, so the waste lines sit under a poured slab and are often original cast iron, and the terrazzo and mud-set tile over them do not come up gently. I Am A Plumber handles the whole custom bathroom in Fort Lauderdale FL, from the rough plumbing inside the wall to the vanity, valves and finished fixtures, for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach, Hollywood, Davie, Hallandale Beach and the rest of Broward County.

What Goes Into a Custom Bathroom

• Supply and drain lines: with the wall open we look at what is actually feeding the room and replace tired galvanized or cast iron sections before new tile ever goes over them. If a line is already dripping, see our leak repair service in Fort Lauderdale.
• Layout changes: a shower in a new spot, a double vanity or a relocated toilet means rerouting drain and vent lines, and in a slab home that gets planned before demolition so the pipe still falls the way it has to.
• Showers and waterproofing: pans, curbless entries, benches and niches get the slope and the membrane done right the first time, because year-round South Florida humidity finds every shower that was only sealed at the grout line.
• Fixtures and finishes: tubs, vanities, toilets, faucets and shower valves get set and connected, and for homes near the beach we talk through finishes that stand up to salt air coming off the Intracoastal and the ocean.
• Hidden leaks found first: a slow leak under the slab or inside a wall should be located while the room is still open, never tiled over. Our leak detection in Fort Lauderdale pinpoints it before the new bathroom goes in.

How the Project Runs

Call and tell us what you want the room to do. We come out, look at the bathroom and the plumbing it is tied into, and go over what can move and what cannot once the slab and the existing lines are taken into account, then you get a quote for the work. Our base sits off State Road 84 on the southwest side of Fort Lauderdale, a short run on I-95 or US 1 to most of the county, so it is easy for us to stay on the job until it is finished. We work under license CFC1433142.
