FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace to improve efficiency in my Corryton home?
We routinely replace toilets, faucets, showerheads, tub fillers, kitchen sinks, laundry faucets, and even outdoor hose bibs with modern WaterSense- and Energy Star–labeled models. We also install touchless or metered faucets, low-flow shower valves, dual-flush or pressure-assisted toilets, and recirculating hot-water pumps to further reduce water and energy use.
How much water and energy can I save by upgrading to modern high-efficiency fixtures?
Savings vary by household size and fixture type, but Corryton homeowners typically cut indoor water use by 20–40 %. A WaterSense toilet uses 1.28 gpf versus the older 3.5 gpf models, saving about 13,000 gallons per year for a family of four. High-efficiency showerheads drop flow to 1.75 gpm, saving another 2,700 gallons annually. Because less hot water is required, you’ll also see a 5–15 % reduction on water-heating energy bills.
Will new fixtures fit my existing plumbing without major remodeling?
In most cases, yes. Modern replacement toilets and faucets are designed to match standard rough-in dimensions (12-inch toilets, 4- or 8-inch faucet spreads, etc.). Before scheduling, we perform a free on-site assessment to confirm supply-line size, shut-off valve condition, and deck thickness. If minor adjustments are needed—such as adding flexible supply hoses or a new wax ring—we handle them during installation, avoiding costly wall or floor alterations.
What is the typical timeline and process for a fixture replacement appointment in Corryton?
After the initial assessment and estimate, most single-fixture replacements take 1–2 hours; multiple fixtures or a combination bath-and-kitchen update may run half a day. We arrive in a two-hour window, isolate water, remove the old unit, inspect & prep connections, install the new fixture, pressure-test for leaks, and haul away debris. Your water service is usually off for less than 30 minutes, so disruption is minimal.
Do I need permits or inspections for fixture replacements in Corryton or Knox County?
Simple like-for-like fixture swaps generally fall under “minor work” and do not require a building permit. However, if we relocate plumbing lines, alter vent stacks, or install a new tub or shower pan, Knox County does require a plumbing permit and one inspection. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspector, and ensure all work meets the latest International Plumbing Code and local amendments.
What warranties and maintenance support do you provide on new fixtures and the installation?
Most of the high-efficiency fixtures we carry come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime on ceramic cartridges and finishes. We back our workmanship with a 1-year labor guarantee—if anything we installed leaks or malfunctions due to installation error, we repair it at no charge. We also offer annual maintenance plans that include aerator cleaning, water-pressure checks, and on-call priority service to keep your new fixtures performing at peak efficiency.
