FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to water-saving faucets and fixtures in my Sale Creek home?
High-efficiency faucets, showerheads, and toilets use up to 60 % less water than older models. That translates into lower monthly utility bills, reduced hot-water energy usage, and a smaller environmental footprint. Modern WaterSense-labeled fixtures also tend to have upgraded ceramic cartridges and finishes that last longer and resist leaks, so you get better performance and fewer service calls.
How much water and money can I realistically save by installing high-efficiency faucets?
A standard bathroom faucet typically flows at 2.2 gallons per minute (gpm). A WaterSense faucet trims that to 1.2–1.5 gpm without sacrificing pressure, saving roughly 700 gallons per faucet every year. At Sale Creek’s average combined water and sewer rate of about $0.009 per gallon, that is $6–$7 in water charges per faucet annually, plus 10–15 % savings on the energy required to heat less hot water. Over the life of the faucet (10–15 years), the upgrade usually pays for itself two to three times over.
Are rebates or local incentives available for water-saving plumbing upgrades in the Sale Creek area?
Yes. Tennessee American Water periodically offers bill credits for WaterSense-certified faucets and toilets, and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program provides small incentives for hot-water-saving measures that can include low-flow fixtures. We stay up to date with current promotions and will complete any required paperwork or verification photos when we install your new fixtures so you receive every rebate you’re entitled to.
Will a water-saving faucet fit my existing sink and supply lines?
In most cases, yes. Water-efficient faucets are manufactured in the same standard 4" centerset, 8" widespread, and single-hole configurations found in today’s bathrooms and kitchens. During our free on-site assessment we check deck thickness, hole spacing, and shut-off valve condition. If your supply valves are older or incompatible we can replace them with quarter-turn, no-lead valves at the same visit to ensure a worry-free installation.
What is involved in replacing an old faucet or fixture with a new water-efficient model?
Our licensed plumber will first shut off the local water supply and protect the surrounding countertop or flooring. We then disconnect the supply lines, remove the old faucet, clean the mounting surface, and set the new fixture with fresh seals and plumber’s putty. Supply lines are reconnected, flows are pressure-tested, and the aerator is flushed to clear any installation debris. For toilets or shower valves the process also includes wax-ring or valve-body replacement and a full leak inspection. We haul away and recycle old fixtures at no extra charge.
How long does a typical faucet or fixture replacement take, and will my water be shut off for the whole time?
A single faucet swap normally takes 45–60 minutes, while a toilet or shower valve change can run 1.5–2 hours. We only shut off water to the specific fixture, so the rest of your home remains in service. For whole-house jobs we stage work so you’re never without at least one working bathroom. After installation we restore water, perform a leak check, and leave the area clean—usually in less time than it takes to do a load of laundry.
