Bathroom Remodeling in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks bathroom remodeling for ADUs and JADUs, with sun-tolerant roof flashing at the vent and supply lines protected above the ceiling.
Silicone flashing boots, sealed where the plumbing vent of a Sherman Oaks ADU bathroom passes through the roof, keep their grip under the hard inland sun that dries out and splits the ordinary rubber kind. That small part earns its place because a cracked boot sends rain down the vent chase into the wet wall, where it hides behind new tile. Lead flashing works too, and the choice goes on the drawing.
Sealing the roof where pipes come through
A detached unit or a garage conversion gains at least a plumbing vent and a fan duct through its roof, and each opening is a place for rain to find a way in. The base of each flashing slides under the shingles above it and over the course below, so water running down the roof crosses the joint without meeting an edge. A bead of sealant alone is never the plan. On a flat or low roof, a membrane collar is welded or bonded around the pipe. LADBS inspects the roof work along with the rest of the permit.
Supply lines above a hot ceiling
An ADU bath often gets its water through the attic, and an attic under an inland roof runs hot through the warm months. Cross-linked plastic tubing handles that heat but has to stay out of sunlight, so it travels under the insulation and away from vents and skylights. Copper is the other route. Either way, each line gets a foam sleeve so cold water stays cold on the way to the toilet and hot water keeps its heat to the shower. A shutoff at the unit lets someone stop the flow without reaching the main house.
Bathroom Remodeling in Sherman Oaks: common questions
It can, as long as an interior door joins the JADU to the house, and the unit keeps an exterior entrance of its own. With a shared bath, no new drain is needed. A private bath brings its own drain, vent and supply lines, which appear on the Sherman Oaks permit drawings for LADBS.
Each fixture gets a trap and a drain with steady fall toward the sewer, and the room adds a vent through the roof and hot and cold lines. Where the existing sewer line leaves the house sets how far the new drain must travel. A water heater sized for the unit completes the list on the Sherman Oaks plans.
Always, once the old surfaces are off. The spots around the tub drain, the valve and the toilet flange are probed with an awl and checked with a meter. Framing that gives under pressure is replaced, and you see the finding before waterproofing covers it in Sherman Oaks.
