FAQs
Why should I consider replacing my kitchen faucet rather than repairing it?
A replacement is often the best option when the faucet has chronic leaks, corroded or cracked internal parts, or outdated water-guzzling design. Modern faucets use ceramic cartridge technology that lasts longer, meet current lead-free standards, and can reduce water consumption by up to 30 %. A new fixture also allows you to upgrade to pull-down sprayers, touchless activation, and filtered-water spouts that older models cannot support.
How can I tell whether my kitchen faucet needs to be replaced or simply repaired?
Look for persistent dripping even after washer or cartridge changes, visible corrosion around the base, stiff or loose handles, or low water pressure caused by internal mineral buildup. If your faucet is 10–15 years old and shows two or more of these symptoms, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated service calls.
What faucet styles and finishes work best for Rockford homes?
Most Rockford homeowners choose either pull-down or pull-out faucets because they suit the deeper, double-basin sinks common in the area. Popular finishes include brushed nickel and matte black for their scratch resistance and ease of cleaning. If you have hard water, we often recommend spot-resist stainless to minimize mineral spotting.
How long will a professional kitchen faucet replacement take?
A straightforward swap of a like-for-like faucet usually takes 60–90 minutes. If we need to modify supply lines, replace shut-off valves, or cut through corroded mounting hardware, the visit can run two to three hours. We provide a time estimate after our initial inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
Will my water be shut off during the installation, and for how long?
Yes. We turn off the localized hot and cold shut-off valves under your sink. If those valves are inoperable, we briefly shut off the main. In most cases the water is off for 20–30 minutes, so you can plan household activities around that short window.
Do I need any permits or inspections for a kitchen faucet replacement in Rockford?
For a like-for-like residential faucet replacement, the City of Rockford does not require a plumbing permit when no new piping is added. If we relocate supply lines, replace the sink, or run new drains, we’ll pull the proper permits and schedule the city inspection on your behalf to ensure compliance with Illinois Plumbing Code and local amendments.
