FAQs
How can replacing old plumbing fixtures lower my utility bills in Morristown?
Aging faucets, showerheads, and toilets often use far more water than today’s high-efficiency models. By upgrading to EPA WaterSense-certified fixtures, the average Morristown household can cut indoor water use by 20-30 %, which translates into noticeable savings on quarterly water and sewer bills. In addition, modern pressure-balanced valves and thermostatic shower systems reduce the amount of heated water wasted while you wait for the right temperature, trimming your natural-gas or electric water-heating costs as well.
What types of water-saving fixtures do you recommend for Morristown homes?
• Toilets: 1.28 gpf (gallons per flush) or dual-flush WaterSense models. • Bathroom faucets: 1.2 gpm (gallons per minute) aerated faucets or retrofit aerators. • Showerheads: 1.5–2.0 gpm WaterSense showerheads with pressure-compensation technology to maintain strong spray. • Kitchen faucets: Pull-down spray faucets with 1.5 gpm flow restrictors. • Smart leak-detection shut-off valves: Automatically close the main line if abnormal flow is detected, preventing costly water loss and property damage. All of these fixtures combine water conservation with user comfort, and we stock brands that qualify for current New Jersey rebate programs where applicable.
Are permits required in Morristown for plumbing fixture replacements?
For like-for-like replacements that do not alter the existing piping configuration, the Town of Morristown Construction Code Office generally does not require a permit. However, if you are relocating a fixture, adding new supply or drain lines, or replacing a water heater at the same time, a plumbing permit—and sometimes an inspection—will be needed under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC). Our licensed plumbers handle the permit application and schedule the inspection so you remain fully compliant.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take and will my water be shut off?
Most single-fixture swaps (e.g., a faucet or showerhead) are completed in 1–2 hours, while toilet replacements average 2–3 hours. We shut off only the local fixture valve whenever possible, so the rest of your home’s plumbing usually remains operational. For projects involving multiple fixtures or main-line upgrades, we may turn off the water at the main for 30–60 minutes, and we always coordinate the timing with you in advance to minimize disruption.
Can your plumbers dispose of old fixtures and ensure eco-friendly recycling?
Yes. We remove the old fixture, separate recyclable metals and plastics, and transport them to a Morris County recycling facility. Any components that cannot be recycled are disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations. If the old fixture still functions, we can also donate it to area building-material reuse centers upon request.
What is the average cost range for common fixture replacements, and do you offer financing or rebates?
Approximate installed prices (parts + labor) in Morristown: • Bathroom faucet: $250–$450 • Kitchen faucet: $300–$550 • Showerhead & valve trim: $220–$400 • Toilet (WaterSense): $450–$800 Prices vary with brand, finish, and any piping repairs required. We provide a written, flat-rate quote before work begins. For larger projects exceeding $1,000, we offer 0 % short-term financing through our partner lender. Many WaterSense fixtures also qualify for $25–$100 rebates from New Jersey’s WAVE program or the regional utility, and we supply the paperwork so you can claim the incentive quickly.
