FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Dunlap home?
We handle virtually every residential fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, shower and tub valves, showerheads, garbage disposals, hose bibs, laundry boxes, ice-maker and dishwasher supply lines, and even specialty items such as pot-fillers or touchless faucets. If water runs through it, we can remove the old unit, upgrade the supply lines and shut-offs, and install a new, code-compliant fixture that is built to last.
How can I tell whether a fixture should be repaired or completely replaced?
Persistent dripping, corrosion around mounting points, mineral buildup that returns after cleaning, loose handles or wobbling bases, repeated cartridge or flapper failures, or water bills that keep rising are red flags. If the fixture is more than 10–15 years old, parts are discontinued, or the finish is badly pitted, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another repair. During our on-site evaluation we measure water pressure, check for hidden leaks, and give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation.
Which brands or materials give the longest service life in Dunlap’s water conditions?
Because Dunlap’s municipal water is moderately hard, we favor solid-brass or 304 stainless-steel bodies with ceramic disc cartridges—these resist mineral buildup and corrosion far better than zinc or plastic parts. Reputable brands such as Delta, Moen, Kohler, Gerber, and Toto back their fixtures with 5-to-lifetime warranties and keep replacement parts on the market for decades. We also recommend WaterSense-labeled faucets, showerheads, and 1.28-gpf toilets to maximize efficiency without sacrificing performance.
What does the replacement process involve and how long will it take?
A single faucet or shower valve swap generally takes 1–2 hours; a toilet replacement is about 2–3 hours from shut-off to cleanup. We start with a pressure test and a quick look inside the shut-off valves. After protecting your floors and countertops, we shut off and drain the lines, remove the old fixture, inspect the supply connections, upgrade any deteriorated stops or hoses, install the new fixture with fresh seals, and flush the lines to clear debris. We finish by testing for leaks and demonstrating the new features. No building permit is needed for like-for-like fixture swaps in Dunlap, but we pull permits if pipe rerouting is required.
Will new fixtures really lower my water bills?
Yes. A WaterSense toilet can reduce consumption by up to 13,000 gallons per year compared with a 3.5-gallon model, saving roughly $110 annually for a family of four. Aerated bathroom faucets cut flow from 2.2 to 1.2 gpm, and pressure-balanced shower valves prevent temperature spikes that waste hot water. Dunlap’s water and sewer rates mean these savings add up quickly, so most homeowners see payback within 2–3 years while enjoying improved performance and updated styling.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance after the new fixture is installed?
Every fixture we install carries the full manufacturer warranty—typically 5-year to lifetime on cartridges and finishes. In addition, we provide a written one-year labor warranty that covers any installation-related issues at no charge. Ask about our annual maintenance plan, which includes a complimentary whole-home leak check, water-pressure test, and fixture tune-up to keep seals lubricated and aerators clear, ensuring your new fixtures deliver long-lasting, trouble-free results.
