FAQs
What are the most common causes of a leaky faucet?
In Calhoun homes, the majority of faucet leaks are due to worn-out rubber washers, damaged O-rings, mineral deposit buildup on cartridge valves, or corrosion at the faucet seat. Hard water in our area accelerates wear on internal components, so even quality faucets may start to drip after 5–7 years without maintenance.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my faucet?
We recommend repair when the faucet body is in good shape and parts are readily available. If the fixture is over 10 years old, has multiple issues (dripping, low flow, loose handle), or contains obsolete parts, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective. During our visit, we inspect the faucet’s condition, total repair cost, and water-efficiency rating to guide your choice.
Can I fix a minor leak myself, or should I hire a professional plumber?
Simple fixes—such as tightening a packing nut or replacing a washer—are DIY-friendly if you have basic tools and can shut off water under the sink. However, professional service is advisable when the shut-off valves won’t close fully, the fixture is a cartridge or ceramic-disc design, or when hard-water scale has seized components. Hiring a licensed Calhoun plumber prevents accidental water damage and ensures the job meets Georgia plumbing code.
What types of replacement fixtures do you install?
We supply and install kitchen, bath, and utility faucets from Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard, offering finishes such as chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black. We also replace shower valves, tub fillers, laundry sinks, and outdoor hose bibbs. All fixtures we carry meet or exceed EPA WaterSense standards for efficiency.
How long does a faucet replacement usually take?
A straightforward kitchen or bath faucet swap in Calhoun normally takes 60–90 minutes, including water shutoff, old fixture removal, new fixture installation, and leak testing. If we must update supply lines or repair corroded shut-off valves, the job can extend to 2–3 hours. We give you a precise time estimate after our on-site assessment.
Are water-saving fixtures eligible for rebates in Calhoun?
Yes. Many WaterSense-labeled bathroom faucets and aerators qualify for state and local utility rebates, which can offset part of the installation cost. We stay current on Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) programs and City of Calhoun incentives. Our team will provide the necessary model numbers and paperwork so you can claim any available rebates after installation.
