FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your licensed plumbers replace in Oak Ridge?
Our Oak Ridge–based, state-licensed plumbers replace a full range of residential and commercial fixtures, including sinks, faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, shower and tub valves, hose bibbs, utility sinks, and refrigerator/icemaker water lines. If it connects to your potable-water or drain system, we can remove the old unit, update the supply/drain connections to current code, and install the new fixture safely and cleanly.
Do I need a permit or inspection when I replace a plumbing fixture in Oak Ridge?
For a straightforward ‘like-for-like’ swap (e.g., changing a faucet or toilet without moving pipes), the City of Oak Ridge does not normally require a plumbing permit. However, relocating supply lines, adding shut-off valves, or altering the drainage layout usually triggers a permit and final inspection. Because we are licensed and bonded, our team handles the permitting process for you, schedules the municipal inspection, and ensures the work is 100 % code-compliant.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as a toilet, kitchen faucet, or disposal—are completed in 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved projects like a bathroom vanity with new supply lines or a tub/shower valve upgrade generally take 3–5 hours. We provide a precise time window during your estimate and always arrive with the right parts so your water is back on the same day.
What is the average cost to replace a plumbing fixture in Oak Ridge?
Costs vary by fixture type and any required code upgrades. As a rule of thumb: • Standard toilet replacement: $275–$425 (labor, wax ring, supply line, haul-away) • Kitchen faucet replacement: $225–$350 • Garbage disposal swap: $250–$375 • Shower valve & trim upgrade: $450–$750 Prices include licensed labor, all standard materials, disposal fees, and a one-year workmanship warranty. Seniors, veterans, and Oak Ridge utility customers receive a 5 % discount.
Can you install water-saving or ADA-compliant fixtures?
Absolutely. We stock EPA WaterSense-certified toilets (1.28 gpf), low-flow showerheads, touchless faucets, and ADA-height toilets with lever handles. Our plumbers verify your home’s water pressure, adjust flow restrictors, and ensure grab bars or fixtures meet ADA mounting heights. These upgrades often qualify for local utility rebates, which we’ll help you apply for.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide on fixture replacements?
All workmanship is backed by our written 12-month labor guarantee. If a leak or installation defect occurs within a year, we repair it at no charge. Factory warranties on most fixtures range from 3 years to lifetime; we submit the registration paperwork for you so coverage is in your name. Plus, we carry $2 million in liability insurance for your total peace of mind.
