Plumbing Rough-In Services in Bakersfield
The rough-in phase is the backbone of your new construction plumbing system. This involves installing all underground and in-wall piping before concrete is poured and walls are closed. We carefully lay out and connect all water supply, drain, and vent pipes according to architectural plans and local Bakersfield codes. Using high-quality PEX or copper piping, we ensure secure, leak-free connections that will serve your property for decades.
Gas Piping for New Homes in Bakersfield
We size and install gas piping for ranges, water heaters, furnaces, fireplaces, pool heaters and outdoor kitchens. Black iron and CSST systems are both available, and CSST is bonded per manufacturer and code requirements. We calculate total BTU load and pipe length so every appliance gets enough pressure even when everything runs at once. The system is pressure tested and inspected before the utility installs the meter.
Fixture Installation and Trim-Out in Bakersfield, CA
Once the rough-in is complete and walls are up, our team returns for fixture installation and trim-out. This includes connecting sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, dishwashers, and water heaters. We make sure all fixtures are properly seated, sealed, and functional, providing a professional finish to your new construction plumbing. We work with many brands like Moen, Kohler, and American Standard to match your design specifications.
Underground and Under-Slab Plumbing in Bakersfield
The underground phase sets the drain, waste and vent layout that every fixture in the house will rely on. We trench, bed and slope PVC or ABS drain lines at a minimum quarter inch per foot and protect every pipe that passes through the slab or foundation with sleeves. Earthquakes are a constant consideration in Southern California, and seismic straps and flexible connectors help keep water and gas lines secure during shaking. We compact bedding carefully and avoid rigid points that could stress the pipe as the ground moves. Each line is water tested and left exposed for the inspector before your concrete contractor pours.
Sewer and Drainage Systems in New Builds in Bakersfield
A dependable sewer and drainage system is essential for any new property. We design and install complete sewer lines, septic systems, and storm drains, ensuring proper grading and connection to municipal services or on-site treatment systems. Earthquakes are a constant consideration in Southern California, and seismic straps and flexible connectors help keep water and gas lines secure during shaking. We account for soil movement on your lot, using durable PVC piping and careful bedding to prevent future blockages or pipe damage.
New Construction Plumbing Cost Planning in Bakersfield, CA
Plumbing for a typical new single-family home usually runs about 4 to 8 percent of total build cost, depending on fixture count and finish level. A modest three-bedroom home often lands between $12,000 and $25,000, while custom homes with multiple suites and outdoor kitchens run higher. Choices like a manifold PEX system, a recirculation loop and fixture grade affect the price the most. We break the bid out by phase so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Gas Line Installation for New Construction in Bakersfield, CA
Proper and safe gas line installation is a key component of new construction plumbing. Our trained technicians install new gas lines for appliances like furnaces, water heaters, stoves, and outdoor grills. We use approved materials and conduct rigorous leak testing to ensure the safety and integrity of your gas system, meeting all Southern California and local Bakersfield codes.
Sewer and Water Main Connections in Bakersfield, CA
Connecting your new home to the municipal sewer and water mains is a critical step in new construction plumbing. FKM Plumbing handles all aspects of these connections, including excavation, trenching, pipe laying, and backfilling. We provide proper grading and sealing to prevent future leaks or blockages. Earthquakes are a constant consideration in Southern California, and seismic straps and flexible connectors help keep water and gas lines intact during shaking.

Yes, without exception. All new construction plumbing in Bakersfield, CA requires permits from the local building department. This confirms the work meets local codes and standards. FKM Plumbing handles all necessary permit applications and ensures our work passes all required inspections, taking that task off your shoulders.
Plumbing is usually covered under the general building permit, but we handle the plumbing inspections and any separate plumbing or gas permits your jurisdiction requires. We hold the licenses Southern California requires for plumbing work. Our team schedules each inspection and walks with the inspector on site.
Common challenges in new construction plumbing include coordinating with other trades, adapting to site-specific conditions like rocky soil or foundation types, and ensuring strict adherence to evolving building codes. Our experienced team in Bakersfield is adept at handling these complexities.
Our workmanship is warrantied, and the warranty terms are spelled out in your contract. Fixtures, water heaters and PEX systems also carry their own manufacturer warranties, often 10 years or more for PEX and fittings from brands like Uponor. We give you the paperwork at final.
For new construction plumbing, we primarily use PEX piping for water supply lines due to its flexibility, durability, and resistance to scale build-up. For drain, waste, and vent systems, we use PVC pipes, which are resistant to corrosion and long-lasting.
FKM Plumbing offers a solid warranty on all our new construction plumbing installations. This covers both materials and labor, giving you peace of mind that your new plumbing system in Bakersfield is protected against defects for a specified period after completion.
