FAQs
When is it time to replace a plumbing fixture in my Seymour home?
Most residential fixtures—such as toilets, faucets, and shower valves—have a service life of 10–15 years. Replace them sooner if you notice chronic leaks, visible corrosion, cracked porcelain, low water pressure that cleaning can’t fix, or if the fixture no longer meets current water-efficiency standards. Upgrading older 3.5 gpf toilets to modern 1.28 gpf models can cut indoor water use by up to 30 %, and new faucets with ceramic disc cartridges eliminate the drip problems common in older compression faucets.
Why should I hire a licensed plumber instead of installing a new faucet or toilet myself?
Connecticut state law (CGS §20-330) requires a P-2 licensed journeyperson or P-1 contractor to perform most plumbing work. A licensed plumber ensures the fixture is installed to the current Uniform Plumbing Code, that shut-off valves and supply lines are the proper size, and that back-flow protection is in place. Professional installation protects your manufacturer’s warranty, prevents water damage from hidden leaks, and provides you with a certificate of completion that keeps your homeowners insurance valid.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
For standard residential work in Seymour: • Faucet swap (kitchen or bath): 1–2 hours • Toilet replacement: 2–3 hours, including wax seal and disposal • Kitchen sink & garbage disposal: 3–4 hours • Shower valve retrofit: 4–6 hours (may require wall tile access) Timelines assume the shut-off valves are functional and no hidden pipe damage is discovered. If we uncover deteriorated galvanized lines or subfloor rot, we’ll review options with you before proceeding.
Which fixture brands or models do you recommend?
We install Delta, Moen, Kohler, American Standard, Gerber, and Toto because their replacement parts are easy to source locally and they back their fixtures with lifetime or multi-year warranties. For toilets we favor the Toto Drake or Kohler Cimarron (both WaterSense-certified 1.28 gpf). For faucets, Delta’s Diamond Seal Technology lines offer drip-free service for 500,000 cycles. We’re happy to install owner-supplied fixtures, but we’ll review them first to confirm they meet code and have readily available parts.
Do you remove and dispose of the old fixtures?
Yes. Our flat-rate replacement quotes include shut-off of water, safe removal, clean-up of the work area, and eco-friendly disposal or recycling of the old fixture. Salvageable metal parts are separated and sent to Seymour’s transfer station for recycling; porcelain is taken to masonry recyclers where possible.
What will a fixture replacement cost and are estimates free?
On average in Seymour: • Toilet replacement (standard model): $425–$650 installed • Bathroom faucet (labor & supply lines): $225–$350 • Kitchen sink & faucet set: $900–$1,400 (depending on sink material) We offer free on-site estimates. Prices include tax, basic supply lines, shut-off valves, disposal of old fixtures, and a one-year labor warranty. Financing options are available for projects totaling over $1,000.
