hOW CAN WE HELP?
The Plumbing Trade Your Remodel Depends On
Plumbing is usually the first trade in a remodel and the last one to finish. Before tile goes down, before vanities get installed, before fixtures get mounted — the supply lines, drain lines, and vent stacks need to be in the right place. Getting this wrong means tearing things out later, and that costs more than doing it right the first time.
Â
We’ve been doing remodel plumbing across the Greater Southside Indianapolis area for over three decades. We work directly with homeowners, handling their own renovations, and alongside general contractors who need a reliable plumbing subcontractor. Either way, we show up when we’re supposed to, rough in to spec, and come back for trim-out when the project is ready.

Signs Your Remodel Needs a Plumber
You’re Moving a Sink, Toilet, or Shower to a New LocationÂ
Anytime a fixture moves from its original position, even a few feet, the supply and drain lines need to be rerouted. This requires opening walls or floors, extending or relocating pipes, and ensuring proper venting. It’s not something to figure out after the drywall is up.Â
- What to do: Call us during the planning phase so we can assess what's involved and give you a clear quote before your contractor starts framing.
You’re Replacing a Bathtub With a Walk-In ShowerÂ
Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common bathroom remodel requests, especially in Indianapolis homes built in the 1960s through 1990s. The drain location, valve placement, and waterproofing all change when you switch from a tub to a shower. This is plumbing work that needs to happen before the tile installer shows up.Â
- What to do: Schedule a site visit. We'll assess your existing plumbing, recommend the right valve and drain configuration, and coordinate timing with your contractor.
Your Home’s Plumbing Is Decades Old and Needs UpgradingÂ
- What to do: Mention the age and material of your plumbing when you call. We'll inspect what's behind the walls during the rough-in phase and recommend upgrades where they make sense.
You’re Adding a New Bathroom, Laundry Room, or Wet BarÂ
New wet spaces require full plumbing rough-ins — hot and cold supply lines, drain and waste connections, and proper venting to code. Whether it’s a basement half-bath, a second-floor bathroom addition, or a wet bar in a finished space, we plan and install the complete plumbing infrastructure.Â
- What to do: Bring us in early. Plumbing rough-in needs to happen before framing is closed up, and we can identify potential challenges before they become expensive changes.
Your General Contractor Needs a Licensed PlumberÂ
Many general contractors don’t carry a plumbing license. When the project reaches the point where supply lines, drain lines, or gas connections need to be installed or moved, they need a licensed plumber to handle that scope. We work alongside GCs regularly and coordinate our schedule to fit the project timeline.Â
- What to do: Have your contractor call us or give us the project details directly. We'll schedule around the build timeline so nobody waits on us.
Remodel Plumbing Services We Provide
Plumbing Rough-In for New Construction and Remodels
We install supply lines, drain lines, waste connections, and vent stacks for new bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and wet bars. Rough-in work is done before walls are closed, ensuring everything is in the correct position for fixtures and finishes.
Fixture Installation and Trim-Out
Once your walls, floors, and countertops are in, we come back for trim-out, connecting and installing sinks, faucets, toilets, shower valves, tub spouts, dishwashers, garbage disposals, and any other plumbing fixtures. We install Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Toto fixtures.
Bathroom Renovation Plumbing
Vanity installations, shower valve replacement, tub-to-shower conversions, toilet relocations, and wet space plumbing. We handle the full plumbing scope for bathroom remodels of any size, from a simple fixture swap to a full gut renovation.
Kitchen Renovation Plumbing
Sink relocation, faucet installation, dishwasher hookup, garbage disposal installation, ice maker lines, and gas line connections for stoves and ranges. We work around the cabinet and countertop installation schedule so your kitchen stays on track.
Why Your Remodel Needs a Dedicated Plumber
Avoid Costly Rework Later
Plumbing mistakes discovered after tile, drywall, or flooring is installed mean tearing things out and starting over. Getting the rough-in right before walls close prevents the most expensive kind of remodel problem, the kind you don't find until the project is supposed to be finished.
A Solid Remodel Adds Value
According to the Remodeling 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, a mid-range bathroom remodel recoups approximately 74% of its cost at resale. That return depends on quality work behind the walls — plumbing that's installed to code, properly vented, and built to last, not just fixtures that look good on the surface.
Upgrade Hidden Plumbing While You Have Access
A remodel gives you rare access to the plumbing inside your walls. If your home has aging galvanized or polybutylene supply lines, this is the most cost-effective time to replace them, with no additional demolition, no separate project. We assess the condition during rough-in and recommend upgrades where they make sense.
One Licensed Plumber From Rough-In to Finish
We handle both phases, the rough-in work before walls close and the finish trim-out after surfaces are installed. That means one team that knows the layout, one point of contact for your contractor, and no confusion about who installed what.
How We Handle Remodel Plumbing
Every remodel project starts with a site visit and a conversation about what you’re planning. We need to see the existing plumbing, understand the new layout, and coordinate with your contractor or designer before quoting.
Phase 1 — Planning and Quote:
We walk the space, review the layout, and identify what existing plumbing can stay and what needs to move. We provide a written quote for both rough-in and trim-out work so you have the full plumbing cost before the project breaks ground.
Phase 2 — Rough-In:
Once demolition is complete and framing is set, we install supply lines, drain lines, vent stacks, and any gas lines needed for the new layout. This phase happens before insulation, drywall, and tile. We coordinate timing with your GC, so the project stays on schedule.
Phase 3 — Trim-Out and Finish:
After surfaces are installed (tile, countertops, drywall, paint), we come back to connect and mount all fixtures — sinks, faucets, toilets, shower valves, tub spouts, dishwashers, and disposals. We test everything before we leave.
Pricing:
We quote remodel plumbing as a complete scope, rough-in plus trim-out. No surprise add-ons midway through the project. Financing is available through Wisetack for larger renovation projects.

Repiping
If a remodel reveals extensive pipe deterioration, a whole-house repipe may be the right move while walls are already open.
General Plumbing Repairs
Need a faucet replaced or a toilet upgraded without a full remodel? Our repair service handles single-fixture jobs any day of the week.
Gas Line Installation
Kitchen remodels that include a gas range or stove require a gas line. We handle gas connections as part of the remodel scope.
What Our Neighbors Are Saying
If you want to work with an honest plumber who will execute the job with excellence, then you need to come to Parkhurst Family Plumbing! We had a major water leak and they got us in contact with a company that would help us with the insurance process while working quickly to help resolve the plumbing issues. We have had him install our kitchen sink four years ago, install a dish washer, install some toilets, replace the outside water spigot after it was leaking, reinstall the garbage disposal, fix the burst pipe (which required getting in the slab) and also fix a bad installation of a pipe in our bathroom by the home builders 20 years ago. He does an outstanding job and will be honest through the process. He’s also come out after hours and all times of the day and NOT charged an arm and a leg. Thanks, Larry! I should have left a review a long time ago — he can do it all!

I contacted Larry around 11am because the installers for our new stove said we needed to have a licensed plumber come out and change our stoves gas line. Larry came out later the same day and had everything fixed and even helped install our new stove for us. I highly recommend reaching out to him if you find yourself in need with your plumbing because he really saved my sanity by being here so fast and helping us.

Save thousands and use Parkhurst. The big dogs in town will rob you blind!! Apples to Apples quote proves that. One of the few honest business left in Indianapolis. I will 100% use them in the future.
February 25, 2026
We had a new experience in our home last night. We used the master tub, only to come downstairs and find an absurd amount of water coming from around the air vent in the kitchen ceiling! I immediately called Larry, and he was able to come over bright and early this morning to check the problem. Larry quickly found the issue: come to find out, we had a crack in the overflow catch! Larry was able to get it fixed and did a great patch in the wall, too! We’ve never had a plumbing issue before this, but if we ever do again, we definitely know who to call!

INDIANAPOLIS WATER: WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN IT?
Indianapolis tap water runs 12 to 25 grains per gallon — anything above 7 is considered hard, according to Citizens Energy Group. That mineral load is why water heaters, fixtures, and appliances wear out early across the Southside.

Remodel Plumbing Questions
How much does remodeling plumbing cost in Indianapolis?
It depends on the scope; a simple fixture swap costs less than a full bathroom gut renovation with relocated plumbing. We provide a written quote after a site visit that covers both rough-in and trim-out work, so you know the full cost upfront. Financing is available for larger projects.
When should I bring in a plumber during my remodel?
As early as possible, ideally during the planning phase. We need to see the existing plumbing and understand the new layout before your contractor closes up walls. The earlier we’re involved, the fewer surprises you’ll hit later.
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes. We work alongside GCs regularly as the plumbing subcontractor on residential renovations. We coordinate our schedule to fit the project timeline and communicate directly with the GC on timing for rough-in and trim-out phases.
Can you handle both the rough-in and the finish work?
Yes. We handle both phases, rough-in plumbing before walls close, and finish trim-out after surfaces are installed. Having one plumber for the entire project means consistency and accountability from start to finish.
Should I upgrade my plumbing during a remodel?
If your home has aging galvanized, cast iron, or polybutylene pipes and you’re already opening walls for a remodel, upgrading during the project is significantly cheaper than doing it as a standalone repiping project later. We’ll inspect what’s behind the walls during rough-in and recommend upgrades where they make sense.
