FAQs
What types of water-saving fixtures can you install in my Calhoun home?
Our licensed plumbers install EPA WaterSense-certified toilets, showerheads, and faucets; high-efficiency dishwashers and clothes washers; point-of-use hot-water recirculation pumps; and pressure-reducing valves. We also offer PEX or copper pipe upgrades that eliminate hidden leaks and maximize the efficiency of every fixture.
How much water and money can I expect to save after upgrading?
Calhoun homeowners who replace older 3.5-gallon toilets with 1.28-gallon WaterSense models typically cut toilet water use by 60 %, saving 13,000–15,000 gallons per year. Low-flow showerheads save 2,700+ gallons a year for the average family, and aerated faucets reduce bathroom sink use by 30 %. Together, these upgrades can trim $150–$250 off your annual water and sewer bills, not counting the extra savings from leak-free pipes.
Will low-flow fixtures affect my water pressure or comfort?
Today’s water-saving fixtures use advanced aeration and pressure-compensating technology to maintain the feel of a robust flow while using less water. In most homes you will not notice a difference; many customers actually report a more even stream after installation. If your existing pressure is borderline low, we can adjust your PRV or upsized supply lines during the pipe upgrade to ensure optimal performance.
How long does a typical pipe upgrade or fixture replacement take?
A single fixture swap (such as a toilet or faucet) is usually completed in 1–2 hours. A whole-house fixture makeover paired with partial pipe repiping generally takes 1–2 days, depending on the home’s size and accessibility of plumbing runs. We schedule work to minimize downtime, and water is rarely shut off for more than a few hours at a stretch.
Do you handle permit and code compliance for plumbing projects in Calhoun and Gordon County?
Yes. We pull all required permits through the Gordon County Building Inspection Department and ensure every installation meets or exceeds the 2020 Georgia State Minimum Plumbing Code, including the mandatory 1.28-gpf requirement for new toilets. Our techs are familiar with local backflow, insulation, and meter-sizing rules, so you never have to worry about failed inspections or rework.
Are there any rebates or incentives for installing water-efficient fixtures in Calhoun?
Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) and some local utilities periodically offer $50–$100 rebates for WaterSense toilets and up to $200 for whole-home retrofits. We keep track of current programs and will pre-qualify your project, provide the necessary documentation, and submit the rebate application on your behalf so you receive the maximum available savings.
