FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts dripping, and how do I know whether it should be repaired or replaced?
Drips usually come from worn-out washers, cartridges, or O-rings, mineral buildup around internal seals, corrosion on the valve seat, or excessive water pressure. If the faucet is under 10 years old, free of visible corrosion, and parts are still available, a repair is often cost-effective. If it is older than 10–15 years, parts are obsolete, finishes are badly pitted, or multiple components have failed, replacement is the better long-term solution and can also improve efficiency.
Do I need a permit in Oneida, NY to change a faucet or other plumbing fixture?
For a straight "like-for-like" faucet, toilet, or showerhead swap in the same location, the City of Oneida generally does not require a plumbing permit. A permit is required, however, if the work involves moving supply lines or drains, opening walls, or installing completely new fixtures. Our licensed plumbers are familiar with local codes and will let you know if a permit or inspection is necessary before any work begins.
How fast can your plumbing team in Oneida respond to a dripping faucet or fixture replacement call?
We provide same-day or next-day appointments for non-emergency dripping faucets, and 24/7 emergency service if the leak is severe or causing water damage. Because we stock common cartridges, stems, and complete replacement faucets on our service trucks, most problems are solved in a single visit.
What brands and styles of faucets or fixtures do you install?
We routinely install and service all major brands, including Delta, Moen, Kohler, American Standard, Pfister, and Grohe. You can choose from classic two-handle designs, single-handle pull-down sprayers, touchless models, and WaterSense-labeled low-flow options. If you already purchased a fixture, we will install it; if not, we can source and bring the exact model that matches your kitchen or bath décor.
How much does it cost to replace a dripping faucet in the Oneida area?
Costs vary with fixture type and finish, but most basic kitchen or bath faucet replacements fall between $150 and $350, including labor and a standard-grade faucet. Premium finishes or specialty features (touchless, ultra-low flow) can raise the total to $400–$650. We always provide a firm, written quote after an on-site inspection, so there are no surprises on your final invoice.
Can you upgrade my fixtures to water-saving models, and will that make a noticeable difference on my water bill?
Absolutely. WaterSense-certified faucets reduce flow from the typical 2.2 gallons per minute (gpm) to 1.5 gpm or less—about a 30% savings. For an average household in Oneida, that can translate to more than 700 gallons of water saved per year, cutting both water and sewer costs. Many local utility programs and New York State incentives also offer rebates for WaterSense fixtures, which can further offset the upgrade cost.
