FAQs
What are the most common causes of a drippy faucet in Cumberland Gap homes?
In our area, hard-water mineral buildup, worn rubber washers or O-rings, and corroded valve seats are the leading causes of continual faucet drips. Cumberland Gap’s water supply is moderately hard, so minerals accumulate faster than in many nearby regions, accelerating wear on seals and cartridges.
How do I know whether I should repair or replace a leaky plumbing fixture?
A repair is usually best if the faucet or fixture is under 10 years old, the finish is still in good shape, replacement parts are available, and the body is free from corrosion. Replacement becomes more cost-effective when the fixture is older than a decade, parts are discontinued, the finish is pitted or peeling, or the water waste from the drip is raising your utility bill. We can evaluate both options during a service call and provide an up-front price before any work begins.
Do you offer water-saving faucet and fixture replacements?
Yes. We stock WaterSense-certified faucets, showerheads, and toilets that can reduce household water use by up to 30 %. In Cumberland Gap, that translates into noticeable savings on both your water and sewer bills, especially for homes with private wells or septic systems. We’ll guide you toward models that balance flow rate, performance, and budget.
Will a new faucet or fixture fit my existing countertop, sink, or plumbing connections?
Our technicians take precise measurements of mounting holes, supply-line spacing, and drain configurations during the initial visit. We cross-reference those measurements with manufacturer specifications to ensure the replacement will seat properly without additional countertop drilling or pipe re-routing. If modifications are required, we’ll explain them before installation starts.
How long does a typical faucet replacement or drip repair take?
Most drip repairs are completed within 45 – 60 minutes once the correct parts are on site. A full faucet swap generally takes 1 – 2 hours, including shut-off, removal, installation, testing, and cleanup. Complex fixtures like touchless kitchen faucets or wall-mount bathroom taps may take slightly longer due to additional wiring or in-wall plumbing adjustments.
What kind of warranty and post-service support do you provide?
We back our labor with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and many of the fixtures we install carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime coverage, depending on the brand. If you experience any drip, leak, or performance issue related to our installation within that warranty period, simply call our Cumberland Gap office and we’ll schedule a priority service visit at no charge.
