Building a new home or tackling a major remodel in Cookeville? The plumbing is one of the most critical systems in the structure, and getting it right during construction saves you from expensive problems down the road. Pyburn Plumbing & Septic Services has been the plumbing contractor of choice for builders, general contractors, and homeowners across the Upper Cumberland since 1996. We bring three decades of experience to every project, ensuring your plumbing is installed to code, on schedule, and built to last.

For new home construction, we handle everything from underground rough-in to final trim. The process starts with the underground phase: setting the sewer and water service lines, roughing in basement or slab plumbing before the concrete is poured, and making sure all underground connections are properly bedded, supported, and pressure-tested. Above-slab rough-in follows with the framing stage — running supply lines (PEX or copper), installing drain-waste-vent (DWV) piping, setting shower pans and tubs, and stubbing out for sinks, toilets, and appliances. Each phase is inspected for code compliance before moving forward.

The trim-out phase comes after drywall, paint, and flooring — this is when we install faucets, toilets, shower trim kits, water heater connections, icemaker lines, dishwasher hookups, and washing machine boxes. We test every fixture for leaks, proper drainage, and hot/cold orientation before we leave. Our final walkthrough ensures every detail is right.

For bathroom and kitchen remodels, we work closely with your general contractor (or directly with you if you're managing the project) to coordinate the plumbing scope. Remodels often involve moving fixtures — relocating a toilet, adding a second sink, converting a tub to a walk-in shower — which requires reconfiguring the DWV and supply lines. We're experienced in opening walls and floors minimally, working within existing framing to route new plumbing without compromising structural integrity.

We also handle home additions— adding a new bathroom, a mother-in-law suite, or a wet bar. We tie into the existing plumbing system cleanly and make sure the addition's venting and drainage meet code without overloading the existing septic or sewer system. When an addition requires upsizing the water service or adding a second water heater, we coordinate that as part of the scope.

What general contractors and homeowners appreciate most about working with Pyburn Plumbing is our reliability. We show up when we say we will, we communicate clearly about timelines and any issues that come up, and we don't leave loose ends.
