FAQs
What are the most common causes of a leaky faucet in Erwin homes?
In Erwin, hard water mineral deposits, worn-out rubber washers or O-rings, corroded valve seats, and loose parts are the biggest culprits. Local water can contain minerals that slowly erode seals, while temperature swings between summer and winter expand and contract metal components, loosening connections over time. Regular maintenance and prompt repair keep these issues from turning into higher water bills or fixture damage.
How do I know if my faucet can be repaired or if it should be replaced?
A faucet usually qualifies for repair when the leak is confined to a single handle or cartridge and the body of the fixture is in good shape. If you notice multiple leaks, significant corrosion, outdated parts that are hard to source, or visible cracks in the faucet body, replacement is more cost-effective. Our technicians perform an on-site inspection, present repair vs. replacement costs up front, and let you decide what fits your budget and long-term needs.
What types of plumbing fixtures can your Erwin technicians install or replace?
We handle kitchen and bath faucets, tub and shower valves, toilets, garbage disposals, outdoor spigots, and laundry hookups. We stock major brands such as Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard, and we can special-order fixtures that match historic Erwin homes or modern renovations. Whether you need a single faucet swap or a full bathroom re-plumb, we have the parts and expertise to finish the job correctly.
How long does a typical faucet replacement take?
Most standard faucet swaps take 60–90 minutes, including water shut-off, removal of the old unit, installation of the new fixture, and a full leak test. Complications like corroded supply lines or tight cabinet spaces can add time, but we carry replacement shut-off valves and flexible hoses on the truck to keep the project within a single service visit.
Will replacing an old faucet help me save water and reduce my utility bills?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-certified faucets use at least 20 percent less water than older fixtures without sacrificing pressure. Eliminating an average drip of one drop per second saves roughly 3,000 gallons a year—enough to run 180 dishwasher cycles—so you’ll see lower city water and sewer charges while doing your part to conserve Erwin’s shared resources.
Do you offer emergency plumbing services for sudden leaks in Erwin, and what is the response time?
We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Erwin and the surrounding Unicoi County area. Calls received after hours are routed to an on-call technician who can usually arrive within 60 minutes. While you wait, we walk you through shutting off local supply valves or the main line to minimize water damage and provide peace of mind until we arrive.
