FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can your Winfield plumbers replace?
Our licensed technicians can replace virtually any household plumbing fixture, including kitchen faucets, bathroom sink faucets, shower valves, tub spouts, toilets, bidets, garbage disposals, utility sinks, outdoor hose bibbs, and laundry hookups. We also handle less common items such as pot-filler faucets, bar sinks, and water-saving retrofits. If water flows through it, we can install or upgrade it for you.
How do I know when it’s better to replace a fixture instead of repairing it?
Replacement is usually recommended when the fixture is more than 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, shows visible corrosion or cracks, or no longer meets your water-efficiency needs. For faucets, persistent drips after multiple cartridge changes are a sign it’s time to upgrade. For toilets, look for hairline tank cracks, wobbling, or high water consumption (pre-1994 models use 3.5 gpf versus today’s 1.28 gpf). Our plumber can inspect the fixture and provide a cost-comparison between repair and replacement so you can make an informed decision.
Can I buy the new fixture myself, or do you supply them?
You have both options. Many customers prefer that we supply fixtures because we have access to professional-grade brands, ensure compatibility with your existing plumbing, and handle any warranty issues directly. If you’ve already purchased a fixture from a home-improvement store or online, we’re happy to install it as long as it meets Illinois code requirements. Just keep the manufacturer’s installation instructions and any included hardware so we can verify everything is complete.
How long will my water be shut off during a fixture replacement?
For most single-fixture replacements (e.g., swapping a faucet or toilet), the localized water shut-off lasts 30–60 minutes. Homes with shut-off valves at each fixture won’t lose water service elsewhere. If individual valves are missing or in poor condition, we may need to shut off the main, which adds about 10 minutes. Complex jobs involving multiple fixtures or supply-line rerouting can extend the shut-off to a few hours, but we always coordinate the timing with you to minimize disruption.
Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture replacements in Winfield?
The Village of Winfield requires a plumbing permit for any work that alters the potable water or drain-waste-vent (DWV) system. Simple like-for-like swaps that don’t modify piping—such as replacing a faucet using existing shut-offs—typically don’t need a permit. However, replacing a toilet, adding a new fixture, or relocating supply lines or drains does trigger the permit requirement. As licensed plumbers, we’ll determine if a permit is necessary and handle all paperwork, inspections, and fees on your behalf.
What does fixture replacement cost, and is there a warranty?
Prices depend on the fixture type, accessibility, and any needed piping upgrades. In Winfield, faucet replacements usually range from $225–$450 (labor only), while toilets run $325–$600. Garbage disposals start around $275 installed, and shower valve replacements can be $650–$1,200 due to wall access and soldering. We provide upfront, written estimates before work begins. Labor is warrantied for one year, and manufacturer warranties on fixtures can span 1–10 years or a lifetime, depending on the brand. If we supply the fixture, we manage warranty claims at no extra charge.
