FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Cowan homes and businesses?
We replace virtually every kind of plumbing fixture found in residential and light-commercial properties throughout Cowan, including faucets, sinks, toilets, bidets, shower valves, bathtubs, garbage disposals, outdoor hydrants, utility sinks, laundry boxes, and ice-maker or dishwasher supply valves. If the fixture connects to your potable water or drain system, our licensed plumbers can source a compatible replacement, remove the old unit, update the shut-off valves, and install the new fixture to current Tennessee plumbing code.
How do I know when a plumbing fixture needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Replacement is usually recommended when a fixture is more than 10–15 years old, shows visible corrosion or cracks, has recurring leaks despite multiple repairs, wastes water (e.g., older 3.5-gallon toilets), or replacement parts are no longer made. Our technician will inspect the fixture, check water pressure, internal seals, and connection points, then provide an honest recommendation and cost comparison so you can decide whether repair or full replacement is the better long-term value.
Do I need a permit in Cowan to replace my kitchen or bathroom fixtures?
For like-for-like swaps of faucets, shower heads, or toilet internals, a permit is generally not required. However, Cowan follows Franklin County and State of Tennessee plumbing codes, so a permit is necessary if the replacement involves relocating supply or drain lines, installing a new tub or shower pan, or altering venting. As a licensed plumbing contractor, we obtain any needed permits, schedule inspections, and ensure the work passes code before closing the project.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most single-fixture replacements (a faucet or toilet) are completed in 1–2 hours. Complex jobs like a tub/shower valve or a double-vanity sink may take half a day. We coordinate with you to shut off only the necessary branch line, so the rest of your house usually keeps running water. Full main shut-offs are limited to 30–60 minutes unless unforeseen issues (corroded valves, hidden leaks) are discovered; if that happens, we explain options before proceeding.
What does a plumbing fixture replacement cost in Cowan, and what factors affect the price?
Simple replacements such as a standard kitchen faucet or round-front toilet typically range from $175 to $450, parts and labor included. High-end fixtures, wall-mount faucets, or those that require countertop modifications can run $500–$1,200. Costs are influenced by the fixture brand/model, accessibility of supply lines, condition of existing shut-off valves, whether flange or drain repairs are needed, and permit fees. We provide a written, line-item estimate before any work begins, and there are no surprise charges.
Do you provide a warranty or guarantees on your fixture replacement work?
Yes. All labor is covered by our 1-year workmanship warranty, and most manufacturer warranties on the fixtures themselves last anywhere from 5 years to lifetime, depending on the brand. If a leak or installation-related issue occurs within the warranty period, we return at no cost to make it right. We also register applicable product warranties on your behalf and provide maintenance tips so you get the longest service life from your new fixture.
