Tenant build-outs
Water, drain and vent lines roughed in for new restrooms, break rooms and kitchens, and fixtures set once the finishes are in.
Plumbing for tenant build-outs
A build-out usually starts with an empty shell and a floor plan. The plumbing is the water supply, the drain and vent lines, and a water heater sized for the space. In a slab building, new drains often mean cutting and trenching the floor.
What the space becomes drives the scope. Restaurants need more hot water and a grease trap or interceptor. Medical and dental offices need a sink in each exam room. Offices need restrooms and a break room.
The plumbing is roughed in while the walls and floor are open, inspected, and trimmed out after finishes. We work under your general contractor or directly for you, and we schedule the plumbing with the HVAC and electrical so the three trades aren't working around each other.
Licensing and insurance
Root House Mechanicals is licensed and insured, and plumbing is done under Tennessee Limited Licensed Plumber 5279.
If the job also needs HVAC or electrical work, that work is done by licensed and insured techs, and you keep one point of contact.

Commercial plumbing questions
Do you handle commercial water heaters?
Yes. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, gas and electric, for businesses. Send the make, model and size from the label, and we'll tell you what the job involves.
Can you work while our business is open?
Usually, yes. Most plumbing repairs can happen in an occupied building. When the water has to be off, we set the time with you in advance and keep the shutoff as short as the work allows.
Will the job need a permit?
Many do. Water heater replacements, new fixtures and build-out work often need a permit and inspection, depending on the city or county. The proposal says what your job needs.
What should I send for a plumbing bid?
The business name, property address, what is going on or what you want built, your timeline, and photos of the fixtures or equipment involved. Drawings help on build-outs. The full list is under how to request a bid.
