FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your licensed Ducktown plumbers replace?
Our team can replace virtually any residential or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including toilets, faucets, shower valves, tubs, kitchen and bathroom sinks, garbage disposals, dishwashers, refrigerator ice-maker lines, outdoor hose bibbs, and laundry hookups. We also handle specialty items such as low-flow toilets, touchless faucets, ADA-compliant fixtures, and water-saving shower heads. If you have an older or unusual fixture, we can source compatible replacements or offer modern upgrades that fit the existing plumbing layout.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take from start to finish?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as swapping out a faucet or toilet—take 1 to 3 hours once we are on site. More involved projects, like replacing a tub/shower combo or relocating supply lines, can take half a day to a full day. The timeline includes shutting off water, removing the old unit, preparing the mounting surface or rough-in plumbing, installing the new fixture, performing leak and function tests, and cleaning up the work area. We provide a time estimate before work begins so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture replacements in Ducktown?
For basic like-for-like fixture swaps (e.g., replacing an old faucet with a new faucet in the same location), the Ducktown Building & Codes Department generally does not require a permit. However, if the replacement involves altering the plumbing system—such as relocating drain or supply lines, installing a new tub where none existed, or upgrading to a tankless toilet—a permit and inspection may be required. As licensed plumbers, we stay current on city and county regulations. If a permit is necessary, we’ll handle the application, scheduling, and final inspection on your behalf to keep the project fully compliant.
How much will my fixture replacement cost?
Costs vary based on fixture type, accessibility, and any needed modifications. As a ballpark, replacing a standard toilet in Ducktown typically runs $225–$450 (labor only), while a basic bathroom faucet swap is $150–$300. Complex fixtures like a freestanding tub or smart bidet toilet can range from $600 to $1,500 or more. We offer free on-site evaluations and provide a written, itemized quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises. Our quote includes labor, standard materials (supply lines, wax rings, etc.), haul-away of the old fixture, and a workmanship warranty.
What warranties or guarantees do you provide on fixture replacements?
We stand behind our workmanship with a minimum one-year labor warranty on all fixture replacements. That means if a leak or installation-related issue occurs within 12 months, we’ll fix it at no additional cost. Many fixtures also carry manufacturer warranties—faucets often have limited lifetime warranties on mechanical parts and finishes, while toilets typically offer five- to ten-year coverage on porcelain. We register your fixtures when applicable and guide you through any future claims. Our plumbers are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, giving you extra peace of mind.
Why should I hire a licensed plumber instead of installing a fixture myself?
Hiring a licensed Ducktown plumber ensures the job meets code, protects your home from water damage, and maintains your product’s warranty. We have the specialized tools and training to handle unexpected issues such as corroded shut-off valves, incompatible pipe sizes, or substandard previous installations. A professional replacement prevents small leaks that can lead to expensive structural or mold problems. Additionally, insurers may deny water-damage claims stemming from unlicensed work. With us, you get proper permits, expert workmanship, and detailed documentation, saving time, stress, and potential liability.
