When people think about building a new home or commercial space, plumbing usually isn’t the first thing on their mind. But ask any builder — if the plumbing’s not done right, it causes headaches long before move-in day.

I’m part of the team at Golden Valley Plumbing, and we handle new construction plumbing services in Sacramento all the time. From the first trench to the final faucet, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes.

Let me walk you through what really happens.

First Comes the Planning

Before we even show up with tools, there’s planning to do. We go over blueprints, check fixture locations, map out drain and supply routes, and coordinate with the general contractor. If we see a better way to run something, we speak up early — it’s easier to adjust plans now than rip into finished walls later.

And yeah, we take care of permits too. Sacramento’s got its rules, and we make sure every inch of pipe meets code

Rough-In: The Real Backbone

Once framing is up, we start the rough-in. That means we run all the hidden pipes — water lines, drain lines, vent stacks, and, if needed, gas lines. This is the part most folks never see, but it’s the foundation of the whole system.

We install shut-off valves, pressure-test everything, and make sure drains have proper slope. Done right, this stage sets the tone for a clean final install. Done wrong? You’ll be chasing leaks for years.

Final Trim and Fixtures

After drywall, tile, and floors are done, we come back for the finish work — toilets, sinks, showers, faucets, water heaters. If something needs caulking or leveling, we handle it. We test every connection, check water pressure, and make sure everything flows like it should.

This is also when homeowners finally see the system come together — and yeah, it’s satisfying to turn that first tap and see it all work.

Why It Matters Who You Hire

Not every plumber’s cut out for new construction. It takes experience, timing, and attention to detail. If someone’s rushing the job or skipping inspections, trust me — it’ll show later. We’ve been called in too many times to fix mistakes that could’ve been avoided.

With us, it’s done once, done right. We build systems that hold up — not just for inspection day, but for the next 30 years.
