Interior Framing-Plumbing-Benton Rehab Green Blog Series

Part 10: Interior Wall Framing, Plumbing, Laundry Room Exhaust Vent and Plumbing-Benton Park Gut Rehab Green Blog Series

 The below CAD drawing was the Basic Plan going into the Rehab Project.

Neither the Building Owner or Myself like to have Return Air Ducts Located on the Floor (where they suck or pull in more Dirt and Debris).  The HVAC Return Air Vents were instead installed 6 ft off the floor.

This is a very Important Wall.  It not only will support the Kitchen Cabinets.  It contains the Plumbing Stack for the 2nd Floor Kitchen as well as the First Floor Kitchen Area.  This wall was constructed using a double 2x4 wall with the studs running parallel with the wall plates.  This allowed for Plenty of Clearance for the Plumbing on both the First and Second Floor.

Hint: See Next Blog Post about Why this Picture is so Important










 The plumbing for this project was done by: Master Plumber St Louis and I highly recamend their Services for your plumbing needs.

The photo below is the only photo I have of the future Laundry Room.  This was added the day the Master Plumber St Louis showed up at the Job Site.  All though this was a change order (email the Pros at Master Plumber StL) they handled the addition of the Laundry Room for this floor and the 2nd Floor.  Giving the Investment Property Apartments Updated Amenities- Which increases the both the Rental Value and the Investment Property Portfolio.


In the Photo below we have 2nd Floor Laundry Room, 2nd Floor Hot and Cold Pex Water Lines for the Laundry Room,and the 1st and 2nd Floor Dryer Vent Exhaust.  Quarters were a little cramped but everything was able to fit snugly into the allocated space.

    Plumbing is the system of pipes, drains fittings, valves, valve assemblies, and devices installed in a building for the distribution of water for drinking, heating and washing, and the removal of waterborne wastes, and the skilled trade of working with pipes, tubing and plumbing fixtures in such systems.

    I used to have to call someone for plumbing repair on a weekly basis, but finally discovered the root of the problem. There was a really bad clog at the very very bottom of the pipe. It made such a mess of things, but I am very glad I decided to get it finally fixed.

    Amazing how simple it can be to communicate with people and have them understand a certain topic, you made my day.

    My minimal dealing with plumbers has yet to put me in touch with any who even speak as they work. Except to tell you the exorbitant end cost.

    Landlords have duties to keep gas appliances and flues safe, and ensure that gas appliances are checked every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer

    Realizing your components is essential to your good results. There is a lot more than a single kind of pipe. The most popular types of pipes that are employed nowadays contain rigid copper, flexible copper, rigid plastic PVC, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PEX (crosslink polyethylene) and galvanized steel.

    It seems to good. A plumber is someone who installs or repairs piping systems, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as water heaters and backflow preventers. The plumbing industry is a basic and substantial part of every developed economy due to the need for clean water, and proper collection and transport of wastes.

    If you’re having a house full of guests this holiday season, let them know your plumbing system can’t handle anything outside of the ordinary.
