Plumbing Rough-In Services in Orlando, Florida
Plumbing rough-in is the critical first phase where all water supply lines, drainage pipes, and vent stacks are installed before drywall installation begins. This foundational work determines whether your kitchen renovation in Maitland, bathroom remodel in Altamonte Springs, or new construction project in Lake Mary will function properly for decades. Bill Morgan Inc has completed hundreds of rough-in installations across Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties, ensuring every line meets or exceeds Florida Building Code requirements.
Our plumbing rough-in process begins with blueprint review and layout marking, followed by supply line installation using PEX or copper tubing to reach kitchen, bathroom, and laundry locations. We then run DWV piping-typically 2-inch and 3-inch ABS or PVC-from fixtures to the main stack, install vent penetrations through roof framing, and pressure-test all supply lines to 80 PSI before inspection. Final steps include securing all pipes with proper hangers, drilling holes per code requirements, and scheduling the county inspector to sign off before your drywall crew arrives.

Our Plumbing Rough-In Process
Blueprint Review and Layout
We review your remodel plans and mark supply line routes, drain locations, and vent penetrations on framing. This typically takes 2-4 hours for average homes in Orlando and surrounding areas like Conway or Belle Isle.
Supply Line Installation
PEX tubing or copper lines are run from the main water meter to each fixture location-kitchen, bathrooms, laundry-with proper sizing (usually 3/4-inch main lines, 1/2-inch branches). This phase takes 4-8 hours depending on home size.
Drain-Waste-Vent System
We install 2-inch and 3-inch ABS or PVC piping with correct slope (1/4-inch drop per foot) from all fixtures to the main 3-4 inch stack. Vent lines are run through walls and roof to prevent siphoning. This takes 6-12 hours.
Pressure Testing and Inspection Prep
All supply lines are pressure-tested at 80 PSI for 30 minutes and documented. We cap all stub-outs and schedule your county inspector within 24-48 hours.
County Inspection
Orange County, Seminole County, or Osceola County inspector verifies code compliance and signs off, typically within 1-2 business days of scheduling.
