FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your licensed plumbers replace in my Kingsport home?
Our team can replace virtually any residential or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, showerheads, tub or shower valves, garbage disposals, hose bibbs, and icemaker or dishwasher supply boxes. We also handle specialty items such as touchless faucets, low-flow toilets, and ADA-compliant fixtures. If it moves water in or out of your home, chances are we can remove the old unit and install a new, code-compliant replacement.
Why is it important to hire a licensed plumber for fixture replacements?
Tennessee requires plumbing work that alters the potable water system to be performed by a state-licensed plumber. Licensing ensures your plumber has passed competency exams, carries proper insurance, and follows Kingsport’s adoption of the International Plumbing Code. Working with a licensed professional protects you from leaks, water damage, voided product warranties, and potential fines that can result from unpermitted work.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as a faucet, toilet, or showerhead—can be completed in 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved projects (e.g., replacing a tub valve behind tile or moving drain locations) may take half a day or longer. We provide an estimated timeframe up front and keep you informed if we discover hidden issues like corroded supply lines or non-code piping that could extend the job.
Will upgrading my fixtures really save water and lower my utility bills?
Absolutely. Modern WaterSense-labeled faucets, toilets, and showerheads use up to 20–60 % less water than older models without sacrificing performance. Less water usage means reduced water and sewer charges—as well as lower energy costs when less hot water is required. Many Kingsport homeowners see their water bills drop by $50–$150 per year after a whole-house fixture update.
How much does it cost to replace a plumbing fixture in Kingsport?
Pricing depends on the fixture type, location, and any plumbing modifications needed. On average, faucet replacements run $175–$350, standard toilets $275–$450, and kitchen sinks or disposals $300–$600 (labor only; fixture cost separate). We offer flat-rate quotes after a brief on-site evaluation so you know the total investment before work begins—no surprise fees.
Do you provide warranties on parts and labor for fixture replacements?
Yes. We stand behind our craftsmanship with a one-year labor warranty on all fixture replacements, and we register any manufacturer warranties on your behalf—many faucets and toilets now carry lifetime factory coverage on mechanical parts and finishes. If a leak or defect occurs within the warranty period, we return at no charge to repair or replace the fixture.
