FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your licensed plumbers replace in Blaine homes and businesses?
Our team is equipped to replace virtually any water-using fixture you have, including toilets, kitchen and bathroom faucets, shower valves, tubs, utility sinks, garbage disposals, outdoor hose bibs, laundry‐room hookups, and even ice-maker or pot-filler lines. If it connects to your fresh-water or drain system, we can remove the old unit, adapt the piping as needed, and install a new one that meets current Blaine plumbing code.
Why should I hire a licensed plumber instead of doing a fixture replacement myself?
Minnesota state law and the City of Blaine require most plumbing work—other than very minor repairs—to be performed by or under the supervision of a licensed plumber. A licensed professional ensures: 1) proper sizing of supply lines and traps, 2) leak-free, code-approved connections, 3) correct venting and backflow prevention, 4) valid city permits and inspections when required, and 5) warranty protection. DIY mistakes can lead to concealed leaks, mold growth, water-pressure problems, fines, and insurance complications.
Will a permit be required for my plumbing fixture replacement in Blaine?
Blaine’s building department generally requires a permit when a fixture replacement involves altering the potable water or drain/vent piping. For example, swapping an old toilet for a new one using the existing flange usually does not need a permit, but replacing a tub/shower valve that requires opening the wall or changing pipe locations almost always does. As licensed plumbing contractors, we’ll determine whether a permit is needed, file the paperwork with the city, schedule any inspections, and include those fees in your upfront estimate.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take, and will my water be shut off all day?
Most straight replacements—such as a faucet, disposal, or toilet—take 1–2 hours each once we’re on site. Larger projects like a soaking tub with new valve or multiple fixture upgrades in a bathroom remodel can run half a day to a full day. We isolate the work area so the main water supply is off only for the brief period (usually 15–30 minutes) needed to disconnect the old fixture and tie in the new one, minimizing disruption to the rest of your home or business.
Can you recommend and supply water-efficient fixtures to help lower utility bills?
Absolutely. We stay current with EPA WaterSense-labeled faucets, 1.28-gpf or dual-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and smart leak-detection valves. During our on-site evaluation we discuss your style preferences, performance expectations, and budget, then provide product options that reduce water use by up to 30 % without sacrificing pressure. Because we purchase directly from major manufacturers, we can pass on competitive pricing and ensure the correct rough-in dimensions for a trouble-free installation.
What warranties or guarantees do you provide on plumbing fixture replacements?
All workmanship is backed by a written two-year labor warranty. If any connection we install leaks or a fixture we set goes out of level during that period, we return at no charge. In addition, you’ll receive the manufacturer’s parts warranty—typically 1–10 years, depending on the brand—for cartridges, finishes, and mechanical components. We register your fixtures with the manufacturer when possible, and we’re happy to handle warranty claims on your behalf should the need arise.
