Bathrooms That Work Better After Years

Complete bathroom remodeling services in McHenry, Illinois.

Your bathroom in McHenry might have tile that cracks along the grout lines, a toilet that rocks slightly when you sit, or a vanity that swells from moisture damage. These problems point to wear beneath the surface, and fixing just the visible parts rarely stops the issue from coming back. Cosmic Plumbing LLC handles bathroom remodeling that replaces damaged subfloors, outdated plumbing, and worn finishes so the space functions correctly long after the work is done.

The service includes removing old fixtures, replacing corroded or leaking pipes, installing new flooring and tile, hanging drywall, and finishing with paint and trim. You also get updated vanities, toilets, tubs, and showers chosen to fit your layout and budget. The crew works in McHenry homes where plumbing access is tight or where previous repairs were done incorrectly, and they correct those problems as part of the remodel.

What You Notice After the Bathroom Is Rebuilt

The crew starts by removing the toilet, vanity, tub, and any tile or flooring that shows damage in your McHenry bathroom. They open walls to access supply lines and drain pipes, checking for leaks or corrosion that would cause problems later. If the subfloor feels soft or shows water stains, they remove and replace those sections before installing new plywood and moisture barriers.

Once the remodel is complete, the floor feels solid and level, the shower drains quickly without standing water, and the faucet handles turn without dripping. The toilet sits firmly and flushes without rocking, the vanity drawers glide smoothly, and the mirror does not fog from poor ventilation. You also see clean grout lines, tight caulk seals around the tub, and walls that are smooth and free from patches or texture mismatches.

The work includes plumbing rough-in for new fixtures, so supply lines and drains are positioned correctly before tile or drywall goes up. The team does not install heated floors or steam showers, but they can rough in plumbing for those features if you plan to add them later. All work follows local building codes, and inspections are scheduled at required stages.

Usual Concerns Before You Commit

Homeowners in McHenry usually ask about timelines, material choices, and what happens if the crew finds hidden damage once walls or floors are opened during the remodel.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A full bathroom remodel typically takes one to two weeks depending on the size and whether plumbing lines need replacement or rerouting. The timeline includes demo, plumbing rough-in, tile installation, drywall finishing, and final fixture installation.
What happens if the subfloor is rotted?
If the subfloor is rotted, the crew removes the damaged section, treats the area for moisture, and installs new plywood before laying tile or vinyl. Skipping this step leaves the floor unstable and shortens the life of your new materials.
Why do old plumbing lines need to be replaced?
Old plumbing lines need replacement if they show corrosion, pinhole leaks, or low water pressure caused by buildup inside galvanized pipes. Replacing them during a remodel prevents leaks behind your new walls and fixtures.
What materials work best for bathroom flooring?
Porcelain tile and luxury vinyl work best for bathroom flooring because they resist moisture and hold up under daily use. The crew installs a moisture barrier and ensures the subfloor is level before laying any finish material.
How do I know the plumbing will pass inspection?
Cosmic Plumbing LLC follows local plumbing codes for pipe sizing, venting, and fixture placement in McHenry. Inspections are scheduled after rough-in and before walls are closed, so any adjustments happen before finish work begins.
