FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my faucet in Maynardville?
Common warning signs include persistent leaks even after washer or cartridge repairs, corrosion or mineral buildup caused by our area’s moderately hard water, difficulty turning the handle, reduced water pressure, or outdated finishes that clash with a modern remodel. If your faucet is more than 10–15 years old and needs frequent repairs, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued patchwork fixes.
What modern faucet styles and features can I choose from?
Homeowners in Maynardville can pick from single-handle, widespread, touchless, pull-down sprayer, and wall-mounted faucets. Popular finishes include brushed nickel, matte black, chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze. Advanced features range from hands-free motion sensors and LED temperature indicators to built-in water filtration and eco-flow restrictors that reduce consumption without sacrificing pressure. Our plumbers can help you match style, finish, and functionality to your sink configuration and décor.
Will installing a new faucet really improve water efficiency?
Yes. Modern fixtures are designed to meet current EPA WaterSense standards, which cap flow at 1.5 gpm or lower—about 30 % less than many older faucets. Some models incorporate aerators that maintain strong pressure while using less water. Over a year, a household can save hundreds of gallons, lowering both water and energy bills linked to hot-water usage.
How long does professional faucet replacement usually take?
A straightforward swap—same configuration, no valve issues—typically takes 60–90 minutes. If we need to upgrade supply lines, shut-off valves, or enlarge mounting holes in the countertop, plan for 2–3 hours. We schedule convenient appointment windows and carry common parts on the truck to minimize disruption to your day.
Do I need to replace the supply lines and shut-off valves at the same time?
We strongly recommend it. Flexible braided stainless-steel supply lines have a life expectancy of roughly 10 years; replacing them during a faucet upgrade reduces the risk of future leaks. If your shut-off valves are sticking, corroded, or use saddle-type connections outlawed by current Tennessee plumbing codes, we’ll install quarter-turn ball valves for safer, easier maintenance.
Can I replace a faucet myself, or should I hire a Maynardville plumbing professional?
A skilled DIYer may tackle a basic faucet swap, but hiring a licensed plumber ensures correct installation, code compliance, and warranty preservation. We carry liability insurance, can handle unexpected issues like damaged countertops or corroded supply pipes, and dispose of old fixtures responsibly. Professional installation also includes pressure testing to confirm leak-free operation before we leave your home.
