Our Services
A bathroom should work for everyone who uses it. Whether you manage a business that needs an accessible restroom or you want your home to stay comfortable as your family’s needs change, the right plumbing makes a real difference in safety and independence.
Bighorn Plumbing is a local, family-owned company founded in 2023 by Jesse and Trebeca Itzen. We help Carson City property owners plan and install accessible bathroom plumbing that is practical, durable, and built around the people who rely on it every day.
ELEVATING PEACE OF MIND Emergency Response
Our ADA-Compliant Bathroom Plumbing Services
ADA plumbing is more than swapping out a faucet. Fixture height, clearance, reach range, and ease of operation all play a role in whether a bathroom is truly usable for someone with limited mobility. Our plumbers assess the entire space before recommending changes.
We handle accessible toilet installation, sink and lavatory replacement, roll-in and low-threshold shower plumbing, handheld shower setups, and lever-style controls for one-handed use. We also protect and insulate exposed pipes under sinks so wheelchair users don’t come into contact with hot or sharp surfaces.
Every project starts with a professional assessment. We explain what we find in plain language, give you more than one option when it makes sense, and provide upfront pricing before any work begins—no surprises when the job is done.
Signs Your Bathroom Needs ADA Plumbing Upgrades
Many bathrooms in Carson City were built long before accessibility was part of the conversation. These signs suggest it may be time for an upgrade.
- The toilet sits too low and is hard to get on and off.
- Faucets require twisting or a tight grip to operate.
- The tub or shower has a high ledge that is difficult to step over.
- There is no room under the sink for a wheelchair.
- Hot water pipes under the sink are bare and exposed.
ADA Compliant Restroom Plumbing for Commercial Properties
As the state capital, Carson City is home to government offices, medical clinics, restaurants, retail shops, churches, and professional offices that serve the public every day. Accessible restrooms are an important part of welcoming every customer, client, and visitor through your doors.
We work with business owners and property managers to install fixtures that meet accessibility requirements while withstanding heavy daily use. That includes accessible toilets with proper seat heights, wall-mounted lavatories with the knee clearance wheelchair users need, sensor or lever faucets, and pipe protection kits beneath sinks.
We know downtime costs you money. Our team shows up when we say we will, communicates clearly about the schedule, and keeps your space clean and respectful while we work. If your building is older, we’ll walk you through how existing supply and drain lines may affect your options so you can make an informed decision.
Accessible Plumbing Fixtures We Install
The right fixture depends on who will use the space and how. These are some of the most common accessible upgrades we install.
- Comfort-height and ADA-height toilets.
- Wall-mounted and roll-under sinks.
- Lever and touchless faucets.
- Handheld showerheads on adjustable slide bars.
- Curbless and low-threshold shower valves and drains.
We favor quality fixtures from trusted manufacturers because accessible equipment needs to perform reliably for years. Carson City’s hard water can build up scale inside faucets, cartridges, and showerheads over time, so we’ll recommend models that are easier to maintain and parts that resist mineral wear.
Aging-in-Place Bathroom Plumbing for Homes
Plenty of Carson City homeowners want to stay in the house they love for as long as possible. Aging-in-place upgrades let you do that safely, without a full remodel or a move.
A taller toilet can ease strain on knees and hips. A handheld shower lets you bathe seated. Lever faucets help anyone dealing with arthritis or reduced grip strength. A thermostatic or anti-scald shower valve keeps the water temperature steady, which matters even more when reaction time slows.
Northern Nevada winters bring freezing nights, and many older homes here have plumbing in exterior walls or crawl spaces. If we’re opening up a bathroom wall for an accessible shower, we’ll check for vulnerable lines and talk with you about protecting them. It’s a smart way to solve two problems at once.
We also help families caring for a parent or a loved one recovering from surgery. Tell us what daily life looks like in your home, and we’ll recommend changes that fit your budget and timeline. Our repair-first mindset means we’ll keep what still works and focus your money where it matters most.

What makes a toilet ADA compliant?
An ADA-compliant toilet has a seat height between 17 and 19 inches from the floor, along with proper side and front clearance. Flush controls should be easy to reach and operate with one hand. We’ll help you choose a model that fits your space.
Do homeowners have to follow ADA standards?
ADA requirements apply to public and commercial spaces, not private homes. Many homeowners still use ADA guidelines as a helpful reference when planning accessible or aging-in-place bathrooms, since the measurements are designed around real mobility needs.
Can you make my existing bathroom accessible without a full remodel?
Often, yes. Swapping fixtures, adding a handheld shower, installing lever faucets, and protecting under-sink pipes can make a big improvement without tearing out the whole room. We’ll show you options at different price points.
How does Carson City's hard water affect accessible fixtures?
Hard water leaves mineral deposits that can stiffen faucet handles and clog showerheads. That can make fixtures harder to operate for someone with limited strength. Choosing quality parts and cleaning aerators regularly helps keep everything working smoothly.
