Details That Matter Most

ADA bathroom construction requires specialized knowledge of plumbing connections, ventilation requirements, and space optimization techniques.

Every project in Des Moines starts with careful planning to ensure your new bathroom meets code requirements while maximizing comfort and functionality.

Here are the critical aspects of ADA bathroom construction:

How Our Process Works

Building bathrooms in converted spaces requires careful attention to plumbing runs, ventilation, and moisture control to create lasting, code-compliant installations.

What's required for plumbing in ADA bathrooms?

We install new supply lines and drain connections, often requiring trenching or routing through existing structures to reach main lines.
How do you handle ventilation in converted spaces?
We install proper exhaust fans and ensure adequate air circulation, often adding exterior venting to prevent moisture buildup in enclosed areas.

What size bathroom works best for ADA's ?

Most ADU bathrooms range from 35-50 square feet, large enough for a toilet, sink, and shower while maintaining comfortable movement space.

Do ADA bathrooms need special waterproofing?

Yes, we use membrane systems behind tile and proper subflooring to protect converted basements and garage spaces from moisture damage.

How do Des Moines building codes affect ADA bathroom design?

Iowa codes require proper ceiling heights, egress access, and mechanical systems that we incorporate into every ADA bathroom plan from the start.

ADA bathrooms add significant value and functionality to Des Moines properties, whether you're creating rental income or accommodating family members. Request your detailed estimate for professional ADA bathroom construction that meets all local requirements.
