FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Old Fort home?
Our technicians can replace virtually any residential plumbing fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, shower valves and heads, garbage disposals, hose bibs, laundry utility sinks, and icemaker or dishwasher supply lines. If you have a specialty or antique fixture, let us know in advance so we can confirm compatibility or recommend a modern alternative.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most straightforward replacements—such as swapping a faucet or toilet with a similar model—take 1–2 hours. Jobs that involve relocating supply lines or drain connections, repairing damaged shut-off valves, or removing old cast-iron tubs can extend the timeframe to half a day or more. We provide an estimated timeline before work begins and keep you updated if unexpected issues arise.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a fixture replacement in Old Fort?
For simple like-for-like fixture swaps (e.g., replacing a faucet or toilet in the same location), Old Fort typically does not require a permit. However, if the project involves altering the plumbing system—moving a drain, adding a new supply line, or changing venting—you may need a permit and a follow-up inspection. Our team is familiar with local codes and will obtain any necessary permits on your behalf to ensure full compliance.
How much will my fixture replacement cost, and what factors influence the price?
Costs vary with the type of fixture, brand, accessibility, and any needed modifications. For example, a basic toilet replacement averages $250–$450 (labor and standard materials), while a custom faucet replacement may range from $175–$350. Additional expenses can arise if we have to repair sub-flooring, replace shut-off valves, or upgrade supply lines to meet current code. We provide a detailed, up-front written estimate so you know exactly what to expect—no hidden fees.
Can you help me choose water-efficient fixtures, and will they really save on my utility bills?
Absolutely. We carry and install WaterSense-certified faucets, showerheads, and toilets that use 20–60 % less water than standard models without sacrificing performance. Switching to a high-efficiency toilet alone can save the average Old Fort household up to 13,000 gallons of water per year, translating into lower monthly water and sewer bills. We’ll review your usage goals, recommend products that fit your décor and budget, and calculate expected savings so you can make an informed decision.
Is your fixture replacement work covered by a warranty, and what happens if something goes wrong later?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty, and most manufacturers provide 1- to 5-year parts warranties (sometimes lifetime on select faucets). If you experience drips, leaks, or performance issues related to our installation within the warranty period, call us and we’ll return promptly at no charge. After the warranty, we’re still happy to assist with repairs or maintenance and will explain any associated costs up front.
