FAQs
What are the most common reasons a faucet drips, and how do I know whether it needs repair or full replacement?
A faucet usually drips because an internal component—such as a washer, cartridge, O-ring, or valve seat—has worn out or become corroded. If the faucet body is in good shape and the parts are still manufactured, a repair is often the most cost-effective choice. However, if the finish is pitted, the threads are stripped, replacement parts are discontinued, or multiple components have failed, it is usually smarter to replace the entire fixture. Our Tazewell technicians inspect the faucet on-site, compare the repair cost to the price of a new unit, and give you clear options before any work begins.
Can a dripping faucet really raise my Tazewell water bill by much?
Yes. A faucet that drips once per second wastes roughly 2,000 gallons of water per year—that’s the equivalent of more than 40 full bathtubs. In Tazewell, that unnecessary usage can add tens of dollars each billing cycle, depending on current water rates and sewer fees. Fixing or replacing the faucet not only stops the noise and mineral staining but also pays for itself quickly through lower utility bills.
How fast can your plumbing team replace a faucet or other fixture in the Tazewell area?
For most residential faucets, kitchen sinks, and bathroom fixtures, we can schedule service the same or next business day. Once on-site, a straightforward faucet swap usually takes 60–90 minutes, while a full sink, disposal, or shower-valve replacement may take two to four hours. We stock common brands and connection types on our trucks, so there’s rarely a need for a second visit unless you request a specialty finish or a custom-ordered fixture.
What faucet and fixture brands do you install or recommend to Tazewell homeowners?
We service and install all major brands, including Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Pfister. For customers looking for premium or designer options, we also work with Grohe, Brizo, and Hansgrohe. All fixtures we supply meet or exceed Tennessee plumbing codes and carry manufacturer warranties. If you already purchased a fixture elsewhere, we’re happy to install it as long as it is certified for U.S. use and includes the necessary mounting hardware.
Do you offer water-saving or eco-friendly faucets and showerheads?
Absolutely. We carry WaterSense-certified faucets and showerheads that reduce flow to as little as 1.5 gallons per minute without sacrificing pressure. Many models feature aerators, ceramic disc cartridges, and lead-free brass for durability and health safety. By upgrading to these fixtures, a typical Tazewell household can cut bathroom and kitchen water use by up to 30%, lowering both water and energy bills.
Are new faucets or fixtures covered by a warranty, and what upkeep is required?
Most manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties on the mechanical parts and finishes of residential faucets, provided they are installed by a licensed plumber. Our company backs the installation with a one-year labor guarantee, so if any leaks or performance issues arise within that period, we will return and fix them at no charge. For maintenance, we recommend wiping the fixture dry after use to prevent mineral buildup, cleaning aerators every few months, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the finish.
