FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Pikeville homes?
Our licensed plumbers can replace virtually any residential or light-commercial fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, tub and shower valves, showerheads, garbage disposals, dishwashers, refrigerator ice-maker lines, outdoor hose bibbs, and utility or laundry sinks. We also handle specialty items such as pot-filler faucets, bar sinks, low-flow or dual-flush toilets, and ADA-compliant fixtures.
How do I know when it’s time to replace instead of repair a fixture?
You should consider replacement if the fixture is more than 10–15 years old, has recurring leaks or clogs despite multiple repairs, shows visible corrosion or cracks, has become inefficient (high water or energy use), or the replacement parts are obsolete. In these situations, a new fixture is usually more cost-effective, reliable, and efficient than another repair.
Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture replacements in Pikeville, KY?
Simple like-for-like swaps—such as replacing a faucet with an identical style—generally do not require a permit. However, any change that alters the plumbing configuration (moving drain lines, rerouting water supply, installing a new fixture where none existed, or adding a backflow device) does require a permit and inspection under Pikeville’s adoption of the Kentucky Plumbing Code. Our team will advise you and, if a permit is required, we handle the paperwork and schedule the inspection for you.
How long does it take to replace a typical fixture?
Most replacements—like a faucet, toilet, or garbage disposal—can be completed in 1–2 hours once we’re on site. Tub/shower valve replacements, undermount sinks, or multi-fixture projects can take half a day. Rarely, if we discover hidden damage (rotted subfloor, deteriorated drain lines) additional time may be needed, but we’ll provide an updated estimate before proceeding.
Can you install water-saving fixtures, and will they really lower my bills?
Yes. We carry WaterSense-certified faucets, showerheads, and toilets that use up to 60% less water than older models without sacrificing performance. Installing a single high-efficiency toilet can save a family of four up to 13,000 gallons of water per year—about $100 in water and sewer charges in Pikeville. Low-flow showerheads and aerated faucets add additional savings and reduce water-heating costs.
What should I do to prepare my home for a scheduled fixture replacement?
Clear out the cabinet or area around the fixture so the plumber can work safely, and move fragile items or valuables. Know the location of your main shut-off valve in case we need to turn off the water quickly. If we’re replacing a kitchen sink or disposal, avoid using the dishwasher the night before. Finally, keep pets and children away from the work zone for safety.
