New Construction Plumbing in Eagleville
Building a new home or adding on? We plumb it in stages, from the pipes under the slab to the faucets on move-in day. You get clear answers about layout, materials and cost before the first trench is dug, and a schedule that fits your builder's.
Plumbing that's planned before it's built
New construction plumbing is the full water supply and drain, waste and vent system for a house that doesn't exist yet. Most of it disappears behind concrete and drywall within weeks, so the decisions made early are the ones you live with for decades.
We start with your plans and fixture list, then tell you plainly what the layout needs, where it could be simpler, and what each choice does to the price. We hold a Tennessee CMC-A plumbing license and we're licensed and insured, so the permit, the inspections and the work itself are on us.
If you're adding a bathroom or a wing onto an existing house, the same approach applies. For repairs and updates to a home you already live in, see our residential plumbing page.
What the work includes
- Plan review and layout
- We go through your drawings and fixture selections with you and your builder. We flag tight wall cavities, long hot water runs and vent routes before they turn into change orders.
- Underground rough-in
- On slab homes, drain lines and any under-floor supply lines are set and tested before the pour. Slopes are checked so wastewater drains the way it should.
- Top-out after framing
- Once walls are framed, we run supply lines, drains and vents through the structure and set tub and shower valves. Everything is pressure tested and left ready for the rough-in inspection.
- Water heater and water service
- We install the water heater you choose and connect the house to its incoming water line. If you want an on-demand unit, our tankless water heater installation work can be planned into the rough-in from the start, and we can leave room for whole home water filtration at the main entry.
- Trim and final
- After drywall and cabinets, we set toilets, sinks, faucets and fixtures, check for drips, and meet the inspector for the final.
When it's time to bring us in
Your plans are approved
The best time to call is before the foundation crew shows up. Under-slab piping has to be in and inspected before concrete.
Your builder needs a plumbing sub
Many custom builds and owner-built homes need a licensed plumber to pull the permit. We can work directly for you or alongside your general contractor.
You're adding a bathroom or suite
An addition means tying new drains and vents into the existing system. That connection is where most problems start if it's rushed.
Fixture choices just changed
A freestanding tub, a second laundry hookup or a bigger shower system changes pipe sizes and placement. Telling us before top-out costs far less than opening finished walls later.
You want upgrades built in
Tankless heaters, filtration, outdoor hose bibs and a gas line to the kitchen are cheapest to add while the walls are open.
What moves the cost
Every new build is priced from its own plans, so we don't quote a number until we've seen them. Here's what makes the biggest difference. We offer free estimates, financing options, and accept all major credit cards and cash.
Number of fixtures and bathrooms
Each sink, toilet, shower and appliance hookup adds pipe, fittings and labor. A second story or split floor plan adds longer runs.
Foundation type
Slab, crawlspace and basement homes each route pipes differently. Slab work has to be done before the pour, which affects scheduling.
Pipe material and water heater
PEX installs faster than copper and usually costs less. Tankless units need gas or electrical sizing and venting that a standard tank doesn't.
Length of the water service
Houses set far back on a lot need a longer incoming water line, and rocky or wet ground can slow trenching.
Changes and return trips
Late layout changes or delays between stages can mean extra visits. Settling fixture choices early keeps the price steady.

We set fixtures, start the water heater, run every tap and drain, and pass the final inspection. Then we walk you through shutoffs and where everything lives in your home.
New construction plumbing questions
When should I call you during the build?
As soon as you have plans, ideally before the foundation is scheduled. That gives us time to review the layout, pull the permit and plan underground work. Calling late can push back your concrete date.
Will you work with my general contractor?
Yes. We coordinate stages with your builder so plumbing is ready before each trade that follows us. If you're acting as your own contractor, we'll tell you exactly what needs to be done before each of our visits.
Who pulls the permit and deals with the inspector?
We do. We file the plumbing permit ourselves, schedule the underground, rough-in and final inspections, and meet the inspector on site. If a correction is needed, we make it and let you and your builder know what changed.
Should I use PEX or copper?
For most new homes, PEX is the practical choice. It costs less, has fewer joints inside walls and handles a hard freeze better than rigid pipe. Copper still makes sense in some exposed or specialty spots, and we'll tell you honestly where it's worth it.
Can you build in a tankless heater or filtration system?
Yes, and new construction is the easiest time to do it. We size the gas line or electrical needs and venting for a tankless unit, and leave a clean spot at the main water entry for a whole home filter.
Do you serve builds outside Eagleville?
We do. We work on new homes and additions in Christiana, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Nolensville and the surrounding area. Ask when you call and we'll confirm.
