Supply lines, drains, fixtures and water heaters for remodels and additions across Franklin, planned with the rest of the project and inspected before the walls close.
Where the pipes can go shapes the whole remodel
Plumbing decides more of a remodel than most people expect. Where a drain can run sets where the shower goes, the size of a supply line limits how many fixtures can run at once, and the slope a waste line needs determines whether an island sink is simple or means opening the floor. JACCO works through those questions early, while the layout can still change, so the design you settle on is one the plumbing can actually support.
In Franklin, the starting point depends on the house. Older homes near downtown may still have galvanized supply pipe, cast-iron drains or shutoff valves that no longer close, and a remodel is the sensible time to replace what is exposed rather than tying new fixtures into old lines. In established subdivisions and newer construction, the plumbing is usually sound, and the work is about moving it: relocating a vanity, turning a tub into a walk-in shower, adding a pot filler, or running water to a new bar or laundry room.
JACCO handles plumbing for remodels, additions and repairs as part of a general contract, with licensed plumbers doing the work the trade requires and our team coordinating the schedule, the wall and floor openings, and the patching afterward. Fixture swaps, a new water heater or a repair discovered during another project can be added to the scope, and every change is priced in writing before it happens.

Plumbing permits and inspections in Franklin
New or relocated plumbing inside the City of Franklin is generally permitted and inspected, with the rough-in checked while the pipes are still visible and a final inspection once fixtures are set. JACCO builds those inspections into the schedule, so tile, drywall and cabinets wait until the rough-in has passed rather than going up over work an inspector still needs to see. A like-for-like fixture replacement may not need a permit at all, and we confirm which category your project falls into during the bid.

Can you move plumbing to change our kitchen or bathroom layout?
In most cases, yes. Supply lines are flexible about where they go; drains are not, because they need a continuous slope to the main line and proper venting. On a slab foundation, moving a drain means cutting and patching concrete, while over a crawlspace or basement the work is usually simpler. We check the structure and the route during the site visit, so the layout in your written scope is one we know the plumbing can serve.
Do you install tankless water heaters in Franklin homes?
Yes, as part of a remodel or as a project of its own. A tankless unit needs an adequate gas line or electrical capacity, a proper vent route and a location with room for service, so switching from a tank involves more than swapping equipment. We look at what the house already has, explain what the change would involve, and include the gas, venting and electrical work in one written price.
