Kitchens and laundries are two of the hardest-working rooms in any home, and both rely heavily on good plumbing. A little planning before you start makes the renovation smoother and helps you avoid problems later. Here are our top plumbing tips for kitchen and laundry projects.
Think About Placement
Where you position the sink, dishwasher, fridge with an ice maker or washing machine has a direct impact on the plumbing behind the scenes. Grouping water-using appliances sensibly can simplify the pipework and keep your renovation efficient.
A plumber can advise on the most practical layout for your space before any work begins, which often saves both time and money.
Upgrade While Everything Is Open
A renovation is the ideal time to deal with ageing plumbing. With walls and cabinetry open, it is far easier to replace old pipes, add a water filter or upgrade tapware and connections than it is to retrofit them later.
Taking this opportunity to future-proof your kitchen or laundry helps you avoid problems — and the mess of reopening finished surfaces — down the track.
Appliance Connections
Dishwashers, washing machines and fridges with water lines all need correct connections and, in some cases, isolation valves so they can be serviced easily. Proper connections reduce the risk of leaks and make future maintenance far simpler. It is worth having these done correctly by a licensed plumber.
