Our process
1.) Pre-demo plumbing assessment
Before demolition begins, we assess what's behind the walls so there are no surprises mid-project. We'll tell you upfront what we find and what we recommend.
2.) Rough-in work
We reconfigure supply lines, drain lines, and venting to accommodate your new layout — done to code and inspected before the walls close.
3.) Coordination with your contractors
We work alongside your tile installer, GC, or designer. If you need referrals for finish trades, we're happy to connect you with trusted Champaign-area contractors.
4.) Finish plumbing
We install all fixtures — shower valves, tub fillers, vanity faucets, toilets — to manufacturer specs with proper connections and no shortcuts.

Frequently asked questions
What plumbing work is involved in a bathroom remodel in Champaign?
It depends on scope. A simple fixture swap is straightforward. A full remodel that moves fixtures or converts a tub to a shower requires opening walls to reconfigure drain lines, supply lines, and venting. We assess the scope during our free estimate visit.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in the Champaign-Urbana area?
The plumbing rough-in and finish work for a standard bathroom typically takes 2–3 days spread across the project. Total timeline depends on all trades involved but most full remodels complete in 2–4 weeks.
Can Fidelis handle just the plumbing, or do you manage the whole remodel?
We specialize in the plumbing side and coordinate with your other contractors. If you don't have a tile installer or GC yet, we can refer you to trusted trades we work with in the Champaign area.
Do I need a permit for bathroom plumbing work in Champaign?
For work involving moving or adding drain or supply lines, yes. Fidelis manages the permitting process so the work is done to code and your home is protected.
