Plumbing Installation Services We Provide
Bathroom Plumbing Installation
Full Bathroom Plumbing Rough-In
For new construction or bathroom additions, we handle the complete rough-in — installing supply lines, drain and waste lines, and vent connections in the proper configuration for your bathroom’s fixture layout before walls are closed. Getting the rough-in right is the most critical phase of any bathroom plumbing project, and it requires a licensed plumber with the experience to do it correctly the first time.
Toilet Installation
We install toilets of all types — gravity-fed, pressure-assisted, dual-flush, wall-hung — with proper wax ring sealing, secure mounting, and supply line connection. Every toilet installation is tested for leaks and proper function before we leave.
Shower and Bathtub Installation
From standard tub-shower combinations to custom tiled walk-in showers and freestanding soaking tubs — we handle the complete plumbing installation, including rough-in, supply and drain connections, valve installation, and trim-out. We work closely with your tile contractor or general contractor to ensure proper coordination.
Sink and Vanity Installation
Pedestal sinks, undermount sinks, drop-in sinks, and wall-mounted vanities — we install them all with proper drain assembly, supply connections, and P-trap configuration. We also install new shut-off valves during sink installation, ensuring you have proper, functioning supply control for every fixture.
Bidet and Bidet Seat Installation
We install standalone bidet fixtures and electronic bidet toilet seat attachments — including water supply connections and, where required, electrical supply coordination.
Kitchen Plumbing Installation
Kitchen Sink Installation
We install single-basin and double-basin kitchen sinks in all mounting configurations — drop-in, undermount, and farmhouse — with proper drain assembly, garbage disposal connections (if applicable), dishwasher drain connections, and supply line hookup.
Garbage Disposal Installation
We install garbage disposals for new kitchens and as upgrades to existing kitchens — including all drain connections and electrical coordination.
Dishwasher Plumbing Connection
New dishwasher installations require proper supply and drain connections to your existing kitchen plumbing. We handle these connections correctly, ensuring proper drainage without backflow issues.
Refrigerator Ice Maker and Water Line
We install dedicated water supply lines for refrigerators with built-in ice makers and water dispensers — using appropriate materials and shut-off valves for safe, reliable operation.
Pot Filler Installation
For kitchen renovations including pot filler faucets above the range, we extend the supply plumbing to the appropriate wall location and install the pot filler properly — including proper support for the swing arm and water-tight connections.
Laundry Room Plumbing Installation
Washing Machine Supply and Drain
We install dedicated hot and cold supply lines with proper shut-off valves and a compliant standpipe drain for washing machine installation — including new laundry rooms and laundry room relocations.
Utility Sink Installation
Laundry room utility sinks are installed with proper supply connections, drain assembly, and P-trap configuration — a practical addition to any basement or laundry room.
Water Service and Main Line Work
Main Shut-Off Valve Replacement
The main water shut-off valve for your home is one of the most important plumbing components in the entire system — and one of the most overlooked until it fails to operate in an emergency. We replace aging or stuck main shut-offs with properly functioning valves that you can rely on.
Water Meter Connections and Service Lines
We work with homeowners on service line issues and connections, coordinating with the local utility where required.
Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Installation
For homes with high incoming water pressure (over 80 PSI) — a common situation in parts of Essex County — we install pressure reducing valves to protect your pipes, fixtures, and appliances from the damaging effects of excessive pressure.
New Construction and Renovation Plumbing
We work directly with homeowners, general contractors, and builders on new construction and whole-home renovation projects throughout West Orange and Essex County — handling all phases of plumbing from initial rough-in through final trim-out and fixture installation. Our licensing, professionalism, and attention to detail make us a reliable partner for construction projects of all scopes.
Why Proper Plumbing Installation Matters
Code Compliance Protects Your Home and Its Value
All plumbing installations in New Jersey must comply with the NJ Uniform Construction Code and local municipal requirements. Work performed without permits or by unlicensed contractors can create code violations that surface during home sales, insurance claims, or future renovation projects — and that the homeowner is then responsible for correcting. Every installation we perform is done to code, with proper permits pulled where required.
Quality Installation Prevents Future Problems
A properly installed plumbing system — with correctly supported pipes, watertight connections, proper venting, and compliant drain slopes — will serve your home reliably for decades. Shortcuts taken during installation become leaks, clogs, and failures down the road. We don’t take shortcuts.
Licensed Work Protects Your Homeowner’s Insurance
Many homeowner’s insurance policies contain clauses that can limit or deny coverage for water damage caused by unlicensed plumbing work. When Recchia Plumbing & Heating performs your installation, you have the documentation to demonstrate that licensed, code-compliant work was performed — protecting your coverage.
