A drain pan under the new water heater, piped to a floor sink, is the first water detail we draw for a Valley Village build-out. Restrooms, break-room sinks and rooftop condensate follow, each given a set route to the building drain. A water-resistant backer goes behind every wet wall, and each pipe passing through the slab or a rated partition is sealed, so a leak stays in one room and a fire cannot travel through the hole.

Slab cuts and wet walls

New restrooms in a leased suite often mean trenching the slab to reach the main drain. With the pipe set and inspected, the trench is backfilled, compacted and patched with fresh concrete, then left to cure. A moisture test on that patch comes ahead of any flooring adhesive, since damp concrete lifts vinyl and loosens tile. Walls around sinks and mop basins get cement board or a moisture-resistant panel, with a waterproof membrane where tile wraps a corner. Condensate from overhead units is pitched to a receptor and never allowed to drip onto ceiling tiles.

Plan check through LADBS

Plans for a Valley Village suite go to LADBS, the City of Los Angeles building department. We prepare the submittal with the designer, respond to corrections and track each sign-off a tenant space needs before opening. Sprinkler heads that move with a new ceiling get their own review. Inspectors look at rough plumbing, the slab patch and any rated wall while those are still exposed, so each stage is booked in order and nothing gets covered early. The job closes with a final inspection that the landlord can keep on file for the suite.
