QUESTIONS TO ASK
Questions to ask: bathroom plumbing relocation
Good contractor questions for bathroom plumbing relocation test how the work will actually be delivered. Start by asking who will locate supply, drain, and vent piping and identify framing constraints, how findings will be documented, and what happens if the existing conditions differ from assumptions.
Questions about existing conditions
“Will you locate supply, drain, and vent piping and identify framing constraints before finalizing the scope?” Ask what will be measured, photographed, or opened for verification and which assumptions remain provisional.
Questions about the proposed method
“How will you evaluate drain slope, joist penetrations, and access from below before moving fixtures?” Request an explanation of the assembly, trade responsibilities, material choices, and what will be inspected before work is covered.
Questions about disruption and inspection
“What is the sequence for plan rough-in inspection and pressure or leak testing before closing walls?” Ask about access, temporary shutdowns, material delivery, protection, inspection scheduling, and cleanup.
Questions to ask before signing
“What happens if hidden conditions change the scope?” Moving a toilet or shower can trigger larger floor and wall repairs than the fixture itself. Confirm who approves changes, how pricing is documented, and what workmanship warranty and exclusions apply.
