Extension

An extension in plumbing involves adding new fixtures or extending the pipework in an existing plumbing system to accommodate new areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms. This process requires careful planning and assessment of the current system to ensure compatibility and adequate water pressure. Key steps include obtaining necessary permits, selecting suitable materials, and using appropriate tools for installation. The extension work involves shutting off the water supply, cutting and fitting new pipes, and connecting them to the existing system. Finally, thorough testing is essential to ensure there are no leaks and that the new installations function correctly, followed by compliance checks with local plumbing codes.
