FAQs
When should I consider replacing my kitchen faucet?
A replacement is recommended when you notice constant leaks, rust or mineral buildup, difficulty turning the handles, reduced water pressure that can’t be solved by cleaning the aerator, or if the faucet is more than 10–15 years old. Upgrading is also smart if you want modern features such as pull-down sprayers or touchless activation, or to comply with current water-efficiency standards.
Are permits or special plumbing codes involved in a Fountain City faucet replacement?
Faucet swaps rarely require a building permit, but the work must meet Wisconsin Plumbing Code (SPS 382) and local Fountain City amendments. Using a licensed plumber ensures proper shut-off valve placement, approved supply lines, and correct backflow prevention. If the job is part of a larger kitchen remodel that moves plumbing lines, the city may require inspection—your contractor can file any paperwork needed.
What kinds of kitchen faucets can your technicians install?
We handle every mainstream style, including single-handle, dual-handle, pull-down and pull-out sprayers, bridge faucets, commercial spring-coil models, bar/prep faucets, pot-fillers, and the latest touch or voice-activated units. We also install ADA-compliant lever faucets and low-lead brass models that meet NSF/ANSI 372 standards for safe drinking water.
How long does a faucet replacement usually take, and will my water be off the whole time?
A straightforward swap generally lasts 60–90 minutes. Complex jobs that involve replacing shut-off valves or modifying sink holes can take up to three hours. The plumber only shuts off the localized hot and cold supply lines under the sink, so the rest of your home’s water service stays on. Once the new faucet is in place, the valves are reopened and the line is flushed for a few minutes to clear debris.
Can a new kitchen faucet help lower my water bill?
Yes. Modern faucets include aerators that limit flow to 1.5 gpm or less, compared with older units that often run at 2.2 gpm. Touchless or metered models reduce accidental run-time, and some smart faucets track usage via mobile apps so you can spot waste quickly. Over a year, the savings can amount to hundreds of gallons and noticeable dollars on your Fountain City utility statement.
How should I prepare for a faucet replacement appointment?
Clear cleaning supplies and stored items from the cabinet under the sink to give the technician room to work. Note the location of your main shut-off valve in case of an emergency. If you’re changing sink accessories (soap dispenser, side sprayer, or filtration tap), have those fixtures on site. Finally, check that electrical outlets are available if you’re installing a touchless or LED-lit faucet that requires a power source.
