Bathroom Remodeling in Houston | Infrastructure First

Most homeowners start a bathroom remodel thinking about the aesthetic: the marble tile, the glass enclosure, and the vanity color. But the most important part of your new bathroom is what you can’t see behind the wall.

At Blackmon Plumbing, we specialize in the “Wet Area” renovation. Whether you are acting as your own General Contractor or just need a plumber who can handle complex pipe reconfiguration, we are the team. We don’t just swap fixtures; we relocate drains, resize water lines for high-flow rain heads, and ensure your “dream shower” has the pressure to back it up.

The most critical day of your remodel is the “Rough-In.” This is when we set the valves and drains before the tile goes up.

Precision Valve Placement: We laser-level the shower valve so your trim plate sits perfectly flat against the tile.

Leak Testing: We cap off the lines and pressure test them before the wall is closed. You never want to find a leak after the expensive tile is installed.

The Shower Pan: We install code-compliant liner systems (or hot-mop coordination) to guarantee the shower floor never leaks into the room below.

Many GCs use unlicensed laborers for the plumbing to save money. This leads to:

Wobbly Toilets: Caused by flanges installed at the wrong height relative to the finished floor.

Temperature Shock: Caused by cheap valves that don’t balance pressure when a toilet flushes.

Slow Drains: Caused by improper slope under the slab.

The Blackmon Guarantee: We pull the plumbing permit. We meet the inspector. We ensure it’s done to International Plumbing Code (IPC) standards.
