A modular home is built in sections at a factory and joined at the site, and the plumbing crosses the seams between modules. Getting the connections at those seams right is the whole game.
The sections
Each module arrives with much of its plumbing in place, and the modules are joined on the foundation. The lines that cross the seams are connected at the site.
The connections
The supply and drain lines between modules must align and connect cleanly, and a pro tests them before the crawlspace closes. hard water is common across the region, and older neighborhoods still have galvanized supply lines In Suffolk, the site crew handles the seams.
The foundation
The utilities run from the house to the main and the sewer, and the crawlspace or slab is where the connections live.
The heating
The water heater is often in a module's utility closet, and the drain lines reach it without long runs.
The inspection
The completed connections are inspected, and the seam work is where the attention goes.
