FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Decatur home?
Our licensed plumbers can replace every common household and light-commercial fixture, including sinks, faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, shower and tub valves, hose bibbs, bidets, and icemaker or dishwasher supply lines. We also handle specialty fixtures such as low-flow toilets, touchless faucets, utility sinks, and decorative vessel sinks. If it carries water in or out of the building, we can remove the old unit, prepare the plumbing connections, and install the new fixture to current Georgia plumbing code.
Do I really need a licensed plumber to swap out a faucet or toilet?
Georgia law requires a state-licensed plumber for any work that involves altering a potable-water or drain line. Even a simple faucet or toilet change usually involves shutting off water, disconnecting supply lines, resealing drains, and verifying backflow protection—tasks that can lead to leaks, water damage, or code violations if done incorrectly. Hiring a licensed plumber guarantees the job meets Decatur and DeKalb County code, preserves your manufacturer warranty, and protects you with the plumber’s insurance and workmanship guarantee.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as a kitchen faucet or standard toilet—can be completed in 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved projects like a double vanity, shower valve replacement inside the wall, or a pedestal sink that requires wall blocking can take 3–4 hours. If shut-off valves are corroded or drain lines need modification, we’ll let you know upfront and adjust the timeline. We schedule in convenient two-hour arrival windows to keep your day on track.
Will upgrading my fixtures really lower my water bill?
Absolutely. Modern WaterSense-certified toilets use as little as 1.1 gpf compared to older 3.5 gpf models, saving the average Decatur household up to 13,000 gallons a year. High-efficiency faucets and showerheads reduce flow by 20–30 % without sacrificing pressure. Over a year, many customers see utility savings that offset a big portion of the installation cost, and you’ll be conserving one of Georgia’s most precious resources.
Can you haul away the old fixtures after installation?
Yes. Fixture removal and eco-friendly disposal are included in every replacement service. We separate recyclable metals, porcelain, and plastics, and deliver them to Decatur’s approved recycling or solid-waste facilities. If you’d like to keep a fixture for donation or reuse, just let us know when we schedule the job.
