FAQs
What qualifies a showerhead as “high-pressure,” and how is it different from a standard model?
A high-pressure showerhead is engineered to deliver a stronger, more focused spray even when household water pressure is average or below average (40–60 psi in most Heiskell homes). Manufacturers achieve this by using smaller spray nozzles, pressure-boosting chambers, or air-injection technology. Compared with a conventional showerhead, you will notice a firmer stream that rinses shampoo and soap faster, often with the same or even less water volume.
Can a high-pressure showerhead be installed on my existing plumbing in Heiskell without major modifications?
Yes. Virtually all modern shower arms use a universal ½-inch NPT thread, and today’s high-pressure models are designed to screw on just like a standard head. As long as your current shower valve and supply lines are in good condition, no re-piping is required. Our licensed plumbers will verify that your shut-off valve works, apply fresh Teflon tape, and attach the new fixture in minutes.
Will upgrading to a high-pressure showerhead raise my water bill?
Not necessarily. While the spray feels stronger, many high-pressure units are actually low-flow (1.5–2.0 gpm) compared to older 2.5 gpm heads. The optimized nozzle design uses pressure—not extra water—to create force, so you often get a quicker rinse and spend less time in the shower. For maximum savings, choose a WaterSense-certified model and keep average showers to 8 minutes or less.
Do I need a professional plumber to change a showerhead, or is it DIY-friendly?
A basic swap can be homeowner-friendly, but hiring a licensed plumber provides peace of mind. We check for hidden issues such as corroded threads, failing mixing valves, or leaks behind the wall—problems that can cost far more if overlooked. Our service also ensures the fixture is installed to Tennessee Plumbing Code, maintains any manufacturer warranty, and includes clean-up and haul-away of the old part.
Are there water-saving high-pressure options that still comply with local regulations?
Absolutely. Many manufacturers now offer "eco-boost" or "air-induction" showerheads that combine 1.5–1.8 gpm flow rates with pressure-amplifying technology. These models meet EPA WaterSense criteria and satisfy the 2.5 gpm maximum set by Tennessee plumbing standards. When you schedule replacement with us, we can present a catalog of compliant brands such as Moen, Delta, and Speakman for you to choose from.
How long does a typical showerhead replacement take, and what warranty do you provide?
Most appointments in Heiskell last 30–45 minutes from arrival to cleanup. If we discover worn Teflon tape or minor mineral build-up, we handle that on the spot with no extra labor charge. All installations come with a 1-year workmanship warranty plus any manufacturer’s warranty on the fixture itself (usually 3–5 years). Should a leak or performance issue arise within the coverage period, simply call us and we’ll correct it at no cost.
