Plumbing installation covers new fixtures, new lines and the plumbing for a remodel or addition. We install sinks, toilets, showers, laundry connections, water lines and drains for Marlboro homes, and we plan the work so it passes inspection and works from the first day.
If you are renovating a kitchen or bath, adding a bathroom or finishing a basement, start here.
What we install
Fixtures
Sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, faucets and the shutoff valves behind them.
Supply and drain lines
New water lines and drains for bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens.
Remodel plumbing
Moving a sink, adding an island sink or relocating a laundry hookup.
Basement and addition work
Rough in plumbing for a basement bathroom or a new addition.
Planning a project
Good plumbing starts before the walls close. We look at where the water supply and drain stack are, where the fixture needs to go and how the drain will slope to reach the stack.
Drains rely on gravity, so a basement bathroom often needs a sewage ejector pump or a break in the slab to connect. We explain the options early so the budget includes them.
Permits and inspections
Plumbing work in Marlboro Township is reviewed by the Construction Division. The township's guidance says plumbing is reviewed before a Certificate of Occupancy and that a final inspection is required. New Jersey's plumbing subcode, N.J.A.C. 5:23-3.15, adopts the National Standard Plumbing Code as its model code.
The page does not spell out which small jobs are exempt, so permit rules vary. Ask the division at (732) 536-0200, extension 1800, and we will tell you what we have seen required on similar jobs.
| Project | Common plumbing needs | Plan ahead for |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | Sink, faucet, disposal, dishwasher and sometimes a pot filler | Supply and drain locations before cabinets |
| Bathroom remodel | Toilet, vanity, shower or tub, shutoffs | Venting and drain slope |
| Basement bathroom | Rough in, drains and often an ejector pump | Below slab drains or pumped drainage |
| Laundry room | Supply, drain and shutoffs | A drain sized for the washer |
Gas smell? Safety comes first
If you smell gas, leave the building right away and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not use switches or phones inside, and do not call a plumber first. Gas line work, such as connecting a range or a dryer, must be done to code and often requires a permit and inspection, so ask the Construction Division before starting.

What affects the price
You receive a clear price before we start, and we tell you which parts of the project the plumbing depends on, such as framing or tile.
Rough in and finish: the two stages
Most plumbing projects happen in two stages. The rough in comes first, while walls and floors are open, and covers drain lines, vents and supply piping. It is inspected before it is covered.
The finish stage comes after drywall and tile. We set the fixtures, connect them to the rough in lines, test everything under normal use and show you each shutoff. Planning both stages together keeps the schedule steady and avoids cutting finished surfaces.
Fixtures that are worth planning early
Some choices have to be made before the plumber arrives. A freestanding tub, a wall mounted faucet or a large shower with multiple heads all need the right supply and drain locations before framing is closed.
Bringing us the fixture specifications early lets us match pipe sizes to what the fixtures need. It also helps to confirm the water pressure and the capacity of your water heater, because a new shower system can ask more of both than the old one did.
