Kitchen Remodeling in Burbank
Burbank kitchen remodels with plumbing planned to carry water away, plus compact ADU kitchens, JADU efficiency layouts and permits handled for you.
Everything wet in a Burbank kitchen needs a path out, and the plan starts by tracing those paths. The sink drain, the dishwasher discharge and the icemaker line each get a route that keeps water moving away from wood. We design the remodel around those routes, for the main house and for a compact ADU kitchen alike, and the tray, valves and drain pitch appear on the drawings.
Giving spills a way out
Under the sink base we plan a shallow tray and a sealed cabinet floor, so a slow drip lands on something that wipes dry. Shutoff valves sit where a hand can reach them without emptying the cabinet. The dishwasher drain loops high before it joins the sink trap, which keeps dirty water from creeping back toward the machine. Along the counter, a continuous bead of flexible sealant closes the seam behind the faucet and the backsplash, the places where splash settles. None of this adds much to a drawing, yet each item protects the cabinet boxes for as long as the kitchen is in use.
Permits when the plumbing moves
A new sink position changes the drain, the vent and the supply runs, and the City of Burbank building department reviews that plumbing before the walls are closed. A faucet or a sink swapped in the same opening sits in a lighter category. We label every change on the plan as one or the other, so the inspection stops show up on the calendar ahead of time. An ADU kitchen goes through the same review, with the added step of connecting its drain to the sewer line serving the unit.
Kitchen Remodeling in Burbank: common questions
A JADU kitchen can be small and still count as complete. A compact electric range or a plug-in induction cooktop on its own circuit keeps gas piping out of the plan. Add a sink, a run of counter and some cabinet storage, and the room meets the efficiency kitchen definition.
Yes. Moving the sink changes the drain, vent and supply lines, so the move goes into the permit set and is inspected while the walls are open. In Burbank the city building department handles that review. Replacing the fixture in the same spot is a lighter job, and the drawings show which of the two applies.
Choose a single wall or an L, then pick appliances to suit the room. A narrower refrigerator and a 24 inch dishwasher or a drawer unit leave the counter run intact. Tall cabinets carry storage up the wall, and a peninsula can double as a table so the living area stays open.
