FAQs
What exactly is a waterfall faucet and how does it differ from a traditional spout?
A waterfall faucet delivers water over an open, flat spout—often a glass or metal tray—so the flow resembles a natural cascade. Unlike a conventional aerated spout that mixes air with water through a small nozzle, a waterfall faucet relies on gravity to create a wide, laminar sheet of water. This design provides a striking visual effect, requires lower internal water pressure, and often runs slightly quieter, but it also demands precise installation to maintain a smooth, splash-free flow.
Can a waterfall faucet be retrofitted into my current bathroom or kitchen sink in Decatur?
In many cases, yes. Most waterfall faucets are designed for standard 1-hole or 3-hole sink configurations. The key considerations are deck space, hole spacing, and adequate clearance behind the faucet for any lever handles. Our Decatur plumbing team first inspects your existing countertop and plumbing connections. If the current sink holes match the faucet’s mounting plate and the water lines are accessible, the retrofit is straightforward. Otherwise, we may recommend drilling a new hole or using a cover plate, and in rare cases a new sink or vanity top may be more economical.
How much does it cost to replace or install a waterfall faucet in Decatur?
Costs vary by faucet brand, finish, and whether other fixtures (drain, supply lines, shut-off valves) are replaced simultaneously. On average, a mid-grade waterfall faucet ranges from $120–$250 in material cost. Professional installation in the Decatur area typically runs $125–$225 for a basic swap, or $250–$400 if modifications, hole drilling, or supply-line upgrades are required. We provide free on-site estimates so you know the exact price before work begins.
Will any plumbing modifications be needed to accommodate a waterfall faucet?
Most waterfall faucets connect to standard ⅜-inch compression hot and cold supply lines, so no major re-piping is required. However, we often upgrade shut-off valves to ¼-turn ball valves, replace aging supply hoses with braided stainless lines, and confirm that the drain assembly is compatible with the faucet’s finish. If water pressure exceeds 80 psi, we may install a pressure-reducing valve to prevent splash and ensure long-term seal integrity.
Are waterfall faucets water-efficient and compliant with Decatur and Georgia plumbing codes?
Yes. Modern waterfall faucets are engineered to meet or exceed the EPA WaterSense standard of 1.2 gpm for bathroom models and 1.8 gpm for kitchen models. As licensed Georgia plumbers, we only install fixtures bearing an ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1 certification mark. This guarantees compliance with Decatur’s municipal code and state conservation guidelines, while also qualifying many homeowners for local utility rebates.
How long does installation take and will my water be shut off?
A straightforward waterfall faucet replacement generally takes 45–90 minutes. For more complex projects involving additional fixture replacements, plan on 2–3 hours. We shut off water only at the fixture’s supply valves—so the rest of your home remains in service. After installation, we perform a 10-minute pressure and leak test, adjust the flow for a smooth cascade, and leave the workspace clean and ready for use.
