FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can Modern Plumbing Systems replace in Strawberry Plains?
We handle virtually every residential and light-commercial fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, shower valves and heads, bathtubs, garbage disposals, dishwashers, icemaker lines, laundry utility sinks, outdoor hose bibs, and even specialty items such as touch-free faucets or pot fillers. If water runs through it, we can remove the old unit, update the supply and drain connections, and install a new code-compliant fixture.
How do I know when it’s time to replace a plumbing fixture instead of repairing it?
A fixture should be replaced when it has chronic leaks, visible corrosion or cracks, obsolete or discontinued parts, excessive water use, or when repairs would cost more than 50 % of a new unit. For example, a toilet made before 1994 may use 3–5 gpf versus today’s 1.28 gpf HET models, so replacement quickly pays for itself. Likewise, a faucet with pitted brass or a shower valve body that no longer meets modern scald-protection codes typically warrants full replacement.
What is the typical process and timeline for a plumbing fixture replacement service?
Most single-fixture jobs follow this sequence: 1) On-site evaluation and written quote; 2) Shut-off water and protect floors; 3) Remove the old fixture and inspect supply/drain piping; 4) Make any required repairs or upgrades (e.g., install new shut-off valves, supply lines, or P-trap); 5) Set or mount the new fixture with manufacturer-approved hardware; 6) Restore water, test for leaks, and adjust operation; 7) Clean up and haul away debris. Standard faucets or toilets take 1–2 hours; tub/shower valves or under-mount sinks may require half a day; full bathtub swaps can be a full-day project.
Are there water-efficient fixture options that can help me save on utilities?
Absolutely. We stock and install EPA WaterSense-certified faucets that flow at 1.2 gpm, high-efficiency toilets (HETs) that use 1.28 gpf or less, and pressure-compensating showerheads that deliver a satisfying spray at just 1.5 gpm. Upgrading to these fixtures can cut indoor water use by 20–30 %, lower energy costs tied to hot-water production, and may qualify you for local utility rebates in Strawberry Plains or Knox County.
Will my new plumbing fixtures be covered by a warranty?
Yes. Most name-brand manufacturers provide limited lifetime warranties on faucets and 5–10 year warranties on toilets, disposers, or shower valves. Modern Plumbing Systems also backs our workmanship with a one-year labor warranty; if a connection we installed leaks or a fixture is improperly seated, we’ll return and correct it at no charge. We’ll register your products when possible and leave you with all warranty documents for easy future claims.
How much does plumbing fixture replacement cost in Strawberry Plains and what factors influence the price?
Pricing varies with fixture type, location, and any plumbing modifications needed. Typical ranges (parts + labor) are: standard kitchen or bath faucet $225–$450, toilet $350–$650, garbage disposal $275–$475, shower valve $600–$1,200, and bathtub replacement $1,200–$2,500. Costs rise if we must move supply lines, repair damaged flooring, cut into tile walls, or upgrade to premium finishes such as matte black or smart-touch technology. We provide flat-rate quotes up front so you know the exact investment before work begins.
