FAQs
What are the most common causes of a leaky faucet in Andersonville homes?
Most leaks start when internal parts such as rubber washers, O-rings, or cartridge seals wear out. Hard-water mineral buildup can score the valve seat, causing drips around the spout. High water pressure, corrosion inside an older brass body, or simply loose packing nuts under the handle can also create persistent leaks.
How can I tell if my faucet needs a repair or a full replacement?
If the faucet is under 10–15 years old and parts are still available, a repair—usually a new cartridge, washer set, or aerator—will solve the problem. Replacement is recommended when the fixture is older than 15 years, has recurring leaks even after previous repairs, shows visible pitting or rust, or when matching replacement parts are no longer manufactured. Many Andersonville homeowners also choose replacement to update the style or switch to a WaterSense-certified model that saves water.
What plumbing fixtures can your Andersonville technicians replace?
We handle more than just faucets. Our licensed plumbers can replace kitchen and bath faucets, shower valves, tub spouts, toilets, sinks, garbage disposals, outdoor hose bibs, and even whole-house shut-off valves. We stock popular brands like Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard, and can special-order custom finishes to match your décor.
How long does it take to repair a leaking faucet or replace a fixture?
A straightforward faucet repair (cartridge or washer swap) typically takes 30–60 minutes once parts are on hand. A full faucet or sink replacement usually runs 1–2 hours, while larger fixture projects—like replacing a toilet or installing a new shower valve behind tile—can extend to 2–3 hours. We schedule most jobs the same or next business day, so you’re never stuck with a drip for long.
Will repairing or replacing my faucets actually save water and lower my utility bills?
Absolutely. A faucet that drips once per second wastes more than 2,000 gallons a year—about $35–$50 on an average Andersonville water bill. Sealing the leak eliminates that waste immediately. Upgrading to WaterSense-labeled faucets cuts flow rates from the old standard of 2.2 gpm down to 1.5 gpm or less, saving an additional 20–30 % every time you turn on the tap.
Do you offer emergency leaky-faucet services in Andersonville, and what does it cost?
Yes. Our team is on call 24/7 for urgent leaks that can’t wait until morning. The after-hours service call fee is $49, which we credit toward the repair if you proceed. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins, so you know the exact cost of a repair or replacement—no surprises. All repairs carry a one-year parts and labor warranty and new fixtures include the manufacturer’s warranty plus our two-year workmanship guarantee.
