FAQs
What counts as a plumbing fixture and when should it be replaced?
In residential plumbing, fixtures include faucets, sinks, toilets, showers, bathtubs, garbage disposals, and hose bibs—basically any device that delivers or drains water. Replacement is recommended when you see chronic leaks, visible corrosion, cracks in porcelain, persistent clogs, outdated water-wasting models, or when repair costs approach 50 % of the price of a new fixture. Our licensed Sparta technicians can inspect the unit, measure flow rates, and test water pressure to confirm whether a swap-out is the most cost-effective solution.
How do I know if my current fixture can be repaired instead of replaced?
We begin every service call with a diagnostic that checks seals, cartridges, supply lines, shut-off valves, and drainage components. Minor issues—like worn washers, loose mounting hardware, or isolated cartridge failures—can usually be repaired on the spot. However, if the fixture body is cracked, parts are discontinued, or internal corrosion is extensive, replacement is safer and usually cheaper in the long run. We present both repair and replacement quotes up front so you can make an informed decision.
Are permits required in Sparta for plumbing fixture replacements, and do you handle them?
Replacing a like-for-like toilet, faucet, or sink in Sparta typically does not require a building permit, but anything that alters the plumbing system—such as relocating pipes, adding a new fixture, or upgrading to a tankless toilet—usually does. Our team stays current with Sparta municipal codes and will pull any required permits, schedule inspections, and file completion paperwork on your behalf, ensuring full compliance and no surprises when you sell your home.
What brands and types of fixtures do you install?
We work with leading manufacturers such as Kohler, Moen, Delta, American Standard, GROHE, and Toto. Options include low-flow faucets and showerheads, touchless kitchen faucets, ADA-compliant fixtures, dual-flush or pressure-assist toilets, and deep-soak bathtubs. If you have already purchased a fixture, we can install it, provided it meets local code. Otherwise, we can supply competitively priced products backed by manufacturer warranties.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take and will my water be shut off?
Most single-fixture replacements (e.g., a faucet or toilet) take 1–3 hours from shut-off to cleanup. Complex jobs—like replacing a tub and surround—can take a full day. We minimize disruption by isolating only the necessary supply lines, so the rest of your home keeps running water. Before leaving, we flush the lines, test for leaks at working pressure, and clean the work area thoroughly.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide on replacement parts and labor?
All fixtures we supply come with the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 1 – 10 years, depending on the brand and product. In addition, our labor is guaranteed for a full year. If a leak, installation defect, or performance issue arises within 12 months, we return at no charge to make it right. We are fully licensed and insured in New Jersey (License #XXXXX), giving you extra peace of mind.
