FAQs

What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking in Lookout Mountain homes?

A faucet can leak because its internal washers, O-rings, or cartridge have worn out, mineral deposits from our naturally hard mountain water have built up, or the fixture body has corroded. In Lookout Mountain, we also see leaks caused by freeze-thaw pipe movement and high water pressure from steep elevation changes. During an inspection we isolate the source—whether it’s the stem, seat, or supply line—and explain the repair options on the spot.

How urgent is it to repair a leaky faucet? Can I wait a few weeks?

A single faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons a year—enough to fill a small swimming pool—and will show up on your Tennessee-American Water bill. Continuous moisture also promotes mold growth in cabinets and can stain natural wood countertops popular in Lookout Mountain homes. The sooner we fix it, the less water, money, and potential damage you’ll lose. We offer same-day service for active leaks and next-day appointments for slow drips.

Should I repair or fully replace an older faucet or other plumbing fixture?

We look at age, finish condition, parts availability, and efficiency. If a faucet is under 10 years old and parts are still made, a repair is usually cost-effective. For fixtures older than 12-15 years, with pitted chrome or discontinued cartridges, replacement often saves money long-term and gives you modern features like ceramic disks and WaterSense certification. We’ll price both options so you can decide what fits your budget and style.

Can new fixtures really reduce my water bill in Lookout Mountain?

Yes. EPA WaterSense bathroom faucets flow at 1.2 gpm vs. older models at 2.2 gpm, saving about 700 gallons a year per sink. Replacing a kitchen faucet with a 1.5 gpm model maintains pressure while cutting consumption up to 30 %. If you add pressure-balanced valves and leak-proof supply lines, you also avoid hidden drips. Many customers see 5–10 % lower water bills within the first billing cycle.

What happens during a faucet or fixture replacement visit?

1) Pre-visit call: We confirm fixture type, finish, and any special order parts. 2) Arrival & protection: Technicians arrive in a marked van, wear shoe covers, and lay down drop cloths. 3) Diagnosis: We shut off water, disassemble the faucet, and show you worn parts. 4) Repair or replacement: We install OEM parts or a new fixture you select. 5) Testing: Water pressure, temperature, and aerator flow are checked to city code. 6) Cleanup & disposal: Old parts are recycled and the work area is left spotless. Most jobs take 60–90 minutes.
