FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace?
Our licensed plumbers can replace virtually any residential or light-commercial fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, garbage disposals, dishwasher supply lines, hose bibbs, and laundry/utility sinks. We also handle specialty items such as touchless faucets, low-flow toilets, and ADA-compliant fixtures. If you have a unique or vintage fixture, let us know in advance so we can verify compatibility and source any special parts.
How do I know if it’s time to replace a fixture instead of repairing it?
Replacement is usually the better option when a fixture is more than 10–15 years old, has recurring leaks or corrosion, contains obsolete or discontinued parts, shows visible cracks or staining, or no longer meets your performance or water-efficiency needs. Our technician will inspect the fixture, explain repair vs. replacement costs, and recommend the most cost-effective solution. We always aim to maximize long-term reliability and water savings for Jellico homeowners.
What is the typical process for a fixture replacement appointment in Jellico?
1) Schedule: Call or book online, and we’ll confirm an arrival window that fits your schedule. 2) Evaluation: Our plumber arrives, inspects the existing plumbing, and verifies shut-off locations. 3) Quote: You receive a firm, upfront price for labor and any parts or new fixtures you choose. 4) Replacement: We shut off water, disconnect the old fixture, prep the supply/drain lines, and install the new unit to manufacturer specs. 5) Testing: We restore water, flush lines, and check for leaks, proper flow, and drainage. 6) Cleanup & disposal: Work areas are cleaned and the old fixture is hauled away for recycling or disposal. 7) Warranty & care tips: You receive written warranty information and maintenance recommendations.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps (faucet, toilet, or standard sink) take 1–2 hours. More complex jobs—such as a freestanding bathtub, a multi-jet shower panel, or relocating supply lines—can take 3–6 hours or may be split over two visits if drywall or tile repair is required. Before starting, we provide a time estimate so you know exactly how long water service may be interrupted.
Do I need to supply the new fixtures or can your team provide them?
Either option works. If you already selected fixtures from a home-improvement store, we’ll verify their specs and install them. Alternatively, we can supply professional-grade fixtures from our trusted manufacturers. Purchasing through us gives you access to extended warranties, local parts availability, and models that are often more durable than retail versions. We’ll review styles, finishes, flow rates, and pricing so you can choose the best fit for your budget and design goals.
Are permits required for plumbing fixture replacements in Jellico, and will you handle them?
Most like-for-like fixture replacements (e.g., swapping an old faucet for a new faucet) do not require a city permit in Jellico. However, permits are needed when the work involves altering water supply, drain stacks, or venting, or if the replacement is part of a larger remodel. Our office stays current with Jellico building codes and will obtain any necessary permits on your behalf, schedule required inspections, and ensure the installation passes all code requirements.
