Water Heater Permit Expertise

Water heater installations require careful attention to safety codes and manufacturer specifications. Whether you're replacing a traditional tank water heater or upgrading to a tankless system, permits ensure proper venting, gas connections, temperature and pressure relief valve installation, and seismic strapping where required. We handle permits for all water heater types, including gas, electric, and hybrid heat pump models, ensuring your installation meets energy efficiency requirements.

Whole-House Repiping Projects

Aging galvanized pipes, polybutylene failures, or persistent leaks often necessitate complete repiping. These major projects require comprehensive permits covering water supply lines, drain-waste-vent systems, and connections to city water mains. We coordinate permits for copper, PEX, and CPVC installations, ensuring proper sizing, support, and insulation. Our expertise includes managing the multiple inspections required for in-wall rough-in and final connections.

Critical Plumbing Code Compliance

• Proper pipe sizing and water pressure requirements
• Backflow prevention device installations
• Fixture spacing and accessibility standards
• Venting requirements for drainage systems
• Water heater safety controls and relief valves
• Cross-connection control measures
• Seismic restraint requirements
• Water conservation fixture standards

Gas Line Permits and Safety

Natural gas and propane installations require specialized permits due to inherent safety risks. We manage permits for new gas line installations, extensions for outdoor kitchens or pool heaters, conversions from electric to gas appliances, and gas meter upgrades. Our expertise includes proper pipe sizing calculations, pressure testing requirements, bonding and grounding specifications, and coordination with utility companies for new service connections.

Fixture and Appliance Installations

Even seemingly simple fixture replacements may require permits when they involve modifications to water supply or drainage systems. We handle permits for bathroom renovations including shower conversions, bathtub replacements, and toilet relocations. Kitchen projects involving dishwasher installations, garbage disposal additions, or sink relocations receive our expert attention. We ensure all fixtures meet water efficiency standards and accessibility requirements where applicable.
