FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Elizabethton homes and businesses?
We replace a full range of fixtures, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, shower valves, garbage disposals, utility sinks, outdoor spigots, and laundry hookups. Whether you need a simple faucet swap or a complete bathroom fixture overhaul, our licensed Elizabethton plumbers have the tools and experience to handle the job safely and up to code.
How do I know if my plumbing fixture needs replacement rather than repair?
Common signs include chronic leaks, visible corrosion, cracks in porcelain or fiberglass, loose handles that no longer tighten, outdated or discontinued models with hard-to-find parts, and fixtures that fail to meet current water-efficiency standards. If a repair would cost more than half the price of a new unit or the fixture is over 15–20 years old, replacement is usually the most economical and reliable option. We offer on-site inspections in Elizabethton to give you a clear recommendation before you commit.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as a faucet or toilet—are completed in 1–2 hours, assuming shut-off valves and supply lines are in good condition. More complex projects like replacing a tub/shower combo or relocating plumbing can take a half-day to a full day. We’ll provide a realistic time estimate after our initial assessment so you know exactly what to expect and can plan around the water shutoff.
Can I supply my own fixture, or do I need to buy through your company?
You are welcome to purchase your own fixture, and we will install it as long as it meets local building codes and fits existing connections. Many clients, however, prefer to order through us because we can recommend quality brands, verify compatibility, and pass along our contractor pricing. Fixtures we supply are also covered by our parts-and-labor warranty, giving you extra peace of mind.
Will replacing old fixtures really save water and lower my utility bills?
Absolutely. Modern WaterSense-certified faucets, toilets, and showerheads use up to 60% less water than older models without sacrificing performance. In Elizabethton, where water and sewer rates have gradually increased, upgrading a single toilet from 3.5 gallons per flush (gpf) to a 1.28 gpf model can save more than 13,000 gallons per year—often paying for itself within two years. Reduced water usage also means lower water-heating costs, further boosting your monthly savings.
Are you licensed and insured for fixture replacements in Elizabethton, and do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee state plumbing license, carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and pull permits whenever required by Carter County or the City of Elizabethton. All fixture replacements come with a 1-year labor warranty, and many of the products we install include manufacturer warranties ranging from 3 years to lifetime coverage. If any issue arises within our warranty period, we’ll return promptly to make it right at no additional cost.
