FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts to leak, and how do I know when it should be replaced?
Inside every faucet are rubber or silicone seals, O-rings, and cartridges that wear out over time. Hard-water mineral buildup, high water pressure, and everyday use eventually cause these parts to crack or lose their shape, letting water slip through. If you notice constant dripping, corrosion around the spout, difficulty turning the handles, or water pooling at the base even after new washers have been installed, the fixture has likely reached the end of its service life and replacement is the most reliable solution.
Is it cheaper to repair my leaking faucet, or does a full fixture replacement make more sense?
For very minor leaks caused by a worn washer or O-ring, a basic repair can be economical. However, if the faucet body is heavily corroded, the cartridge is obsolete, or multiple parts have failed, successive repairs quickly add up. A new water-efficient faucet usually includes a manufacturer’s warranty, lowers water bills, and eliminates repeat service calls. In most cases, if your faucet is over 10–12 years old or has required more than one recent repair, replacing the entire fixture is the smarter long-term investment.
How long will it take your Cowan plumbing team to replace a faucet or other plumbing fixture?
Most standard kitchen or bathroom faucet replacements take 60–90 minutes, including water shut-off, removal of the old fixture, installation, and leak testing. Replacing a toilet, shower valve, or other larger fixture can take 2–4 hours depending on accessibility and whether shut-off valves or supply lines also need upgrading. We schedule arrival windows and provide courtesy calls so you know exactly when we’ll be on site.
Can I buy the new faucet myself, or do you supply the fixtures?
Either option works. Many Cowan homeowners prefer to choose their own faucet style and finish at a local home-improvement store; we’re happy to install customer-supplied fixtures as long as they meet CSA/UPC certification. Alternatively, we can supply professional-grade faucets from trusted brands, often at contractor pricing, and the product warranty will be fully covered through our company.
Will installing a new faucet really make a difference in my water usage and utility costs?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-labeled faucets and aerators use as little as 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) compared to older models that flow at 2.2–2.5 gpm or more. That’s a 30–40 % reduction in water consumption every time you turn on the tap. Over a year, an average Cowan household can save hundreds of gallons of water and see a noticeable drop on both water and energy bills, since less hot water is being heated.
How much does professional faucet or fixture replacement cost in Cowan, and what factors affect the price?
A straightforward faucet swap typically ranges from $150 to $250 for labor, plus the cost of the new fixture. Prices increase if the shut-off valves are seized, supply lines are outdated, or cabinetry must be modified (common with farmhouse sinks). Replacing a shower valve or toilet runs $300–$600 depending on rough-in work required. Emergency after-hours service, premium designer fixtures, or upgrades to braided stainless supply lines can also influence the final quote. We provide upfront, itemized estimates so there are no surprises.
