Plumbing Installation in Sarasota, FL
New plumbing installation is a different job than fixing what's already there: it's running supply and drain lines for a new bathroom, a kitchen addition, an accessory dwelling unit, or a full new build, before there's anything to repair yet. Sarasota Pro Plumbing handles rough-in plumbing for additions, remodels, and new construction across Sarasota, coordinated with the permitting the work legally requires.
What This Covers
Bathroom or Kitchen Addition
Running new supply and drain lines to a space that's never had plumbing before, tied into the existing system correctly.
Accessory Dwelling Units
A standalone ADU or in-law suite needs its own complete rough-in, often including a separate water heater and its own drain run to the main line.
New Construction
Full ground-up plumbing installation, coordinated with the build schedule so rough-in happens at the right stage before walls and slab close it in.
Why Timing Matters More With Florida's Slab Construction
Most Sarasota homes are built slab-on-grade rather than over a basement or crawl space. Drain lines that will eventually sit under the slab have to be roughed in and inspected before the concrete is poured, not after. Getting this sequencing wrong on a new build or major addition means either an expensive slab cut later or a plumbing layout compromised to avoid one. Why coordinating with the builder's schedule matters as much as the plumbing work itself.
Rough-In, Inspection, Fixtures
Rough-In
Supply and drain lines are run to each fixture location before walls, flooring, or slab close them in, sized and routed to code and to the specific fixtures planned for the space.
Permit Inspection
Rough-in plumbing on new construction or a significant remodel requires a permit and inspection through the Sarasota Building Department under the Florida Plumbing Code before it can be closed in. We coordinate that inspection as part of the job rather than leaving the homeowner or contractor to schedule it separately.
Fixture Set
Once rough-in passes inspection and walls or flooring are complete, we return to set the actual fixtures, toilets, sinks, faucets, and connect the water heater, completing the installation.
Coordinating on a Remodel or New Build
We work directly with general contractors and homeowners managing their own remodel, fitting our rough-in and fixture-set visits into the broader construction schedule rather than requiring the whole project to work around us. For a general contractor with a known Florida Plumbing Code timeline already in mind, we can typically slot in without disrupting the sequence.
What Affects the Price of Plumbing Installation
Every job is priced after we've seen the plans and the space. The real factors: how many fixtures are involved, how far new lines have to run to reach the existing system, whether it's rough-in only or includes fixture setting, and the project's permit and inspection requirements.
Most homeowner policies cover sudden, accidental damage, like a burst pipe. They usually don't cover the underlying repair itself, or normal wear-related failures. It's worth checking your specific policy rather than assuming either way.

Do you install plumbing for a full new home build?
Yes, we handle complete ground-up plumbing installation, coordinated with the builder's schedule for correct rough-in timing before slab and walls close it in.
Can you add a bathroom to an existing Sarasota home?
Yes, this is one of our most common installation projects, running new supply and drain lines to the addition and tying them into the existing system.
What's the difference between plumbing installation and repiping?
Installation is running new plumbing where none existed before, an addition, an ADU, new construction. Repiping replaces an existing home's aging pipe system with new material. They're different jobs even though both involve running new pipe.
Do you handle the permit process for new plumbing?
Yes, rough-in plumbing on new construction or a significant remodel requires a permit and inspection through the Sarasota Building Department, and we coordinate that as part of the job.
