FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet starts leaking, and how can I tell if it needs repair or replacement?
Most leaks are caused by worn-out rubber washers, O-rings, or cartridge seals; mineral buildup from South Pittsburg’s moderately hard water; or corrosion inside the valve body. If you notice steady drips, difficulty turning the handle, rust stains, or water pooling around the base, it’s time for service. In many cases a quick repair—such as replacing the cartridge or seals—solves the problem. However, if the faucet body is cracked, heavily corroded, or an outdated model that wastes water, replacement is usually more cost-effective.
Will a small drip really affect my water bill here in South Pittsburg?
Yes. A faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year, adding noticeable costs to your Tennessee American Water bill. Because utility rates in Marion County are billed per 1,000 gallons, even a slow leak can raise monthly charges and unnecessarily strain our local water supply. Fixing the leak promptly saves money and conserves water.
What brands and styles of faucets and plumbing fixtures do you install or replace?
We work with all major manufacturers, including Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, Pfister, and Grohe. Whether you prefer a traditional two-handle kitchen faucet, touchless bathroom model, or a commercial-grade pre-rinse sprayer, we can source and install it. We also replace sinks, shower valves, tub fillers, and outdoor spigots. If you have a specific brand or finish in mind—brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze—we’ll match your décor and ensure it meets current plumbing codes.
How long does a typical leaky faucet repair or fixture replacement take?
A straightforward repair, such as replacing a cartridge or O-ring, generally takes 30–60 minutes once we arrive. Complete faucet swaps usually run 1–2 hours, depending on access, shut-off valve condition, and whether minor countertop adjustments are needed. More complex fixture replacements (e.g., installing a new sink or shower valve) can take 2–4 hours. We’ll give you a precise time estimate after our initial inspection.
Do you offer same-day or emergency service for leaking faucets in South Pittsburg?
Absolutely. We have technicians on call for same-day appointments throughout South Pittsburg and neighboring communities like Kimball and Jasper. For leaks that are causing flooding or water damage, we offer 24/7 emergency dispatch. Our trucks carry common cartridges, seals, and replacement faucets so most issues can be resolved in a single visit.
How much does it cost to repair or replace a faucet, and do you stand behind your work?
For minor repairs, labor typically ranges from $85–$150 plus inexpensive parts. Full faucet replacements start around $225, including a mid-range fixture, and can go higher for specialty or luxury models. Before any work begins, we provide a written, no-obligation quote. All repairs are backed by a one-year labor warranty, and new fixtures include the manufacturer’s warranty—often lifetime on the finish and function. Financing options are available for larger bathroom or kitchen remodels.
