FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking?
Most leaks are caused by worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, damaged valve seats, or mineral buildup that corrodes internal parts. High water pressure and loose plumbing connections can also cause drips. Our Crab Orchard technicians inspect each component to pinpoint the exact cause before recommending repair or replacement.
How can I tell whether my leaky faucet should be repaired or completely replaced?
If the faucet is less than 10 years old and the body is in good condition, replacing small parts—such as cartridges, seats, or washers—usually fixes the leak. However, if the finish is deteriorated, replacement parts are no longer available, or corrosion is visible on the body, it is more cost-effective to install a new fixture. We assess both repair and replacement costs upfront so you can choose what makes sense for your budget.
Will a dripping faucet really make a noticeable impact on my water bill?
Yes. A slow drip can waste 3,000–4,000 gallons of water per year—roughly the same as 200+ loads of laundry. At current Crab Orchard water rates, that can add $20–$40 annually for just one faucet. Fixing leaks promptly conserves water and keeps utility bills under control.
What types of plumbing fixture replacements do you provide in Crab Orchard?
We install all major brands and styles of kitchen and bathroom faucets, shower valves, toilets, garbage disposals, and utility sinks. Whether you want a simple swap with an identical model or a full style upgrade—including touchless or low-flow fixtures—our licensed plumbers handle removal, installation, testing, and haul-away of the old unit.
How long does a typical faucet or fixture replacement take?
Most standard faucet replacements take 60–90 minutes from shutoff to final leak test. More complex jobs—such as converting from two-handle to single-handle, relocating supply lines, or installing a new sink along with the faucet—may take 2–4 hours. We schedule appointments in convenient two-hour arrival windows and clean up the workspace before we leave.
What should I expect to pay, and do you guarantee your work?
In Crab Orchard, basic faucet repairs start around $110, while complete replacements (including the new fixture) typically range from $225 to $450 depending on brand and features. We provide written estimates before any work begins. All repairs are backed by a 1-year labor warranty, and new fixtures carry the manufacturer’s parts warranty—often limited lifetime on many name brands.
