FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can Eye for Detail Plumbing replace in my Andersonville home?
Our licensed technicians can remove and install virtually any residential fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower and tub valves, bidets, laundry sinks, outdoor hose bibs, and even specialty items like pot-filler faucets or bar sinks. We also handle connected components such as shut-off valves, supply lines, and traps so the entire assembly meets current code and performs flawlessly.
How do I know when it’s time to replace, rather than repair, a fixture?
We recommend replacement when a fixture shows persistent leaks, corrosion, cracked porcelain, outdated or discontinued parts, chronic clogging, or water-wasting performance. Our plumber will inspect the unit and compare the cost of repairs to the price and efficiency benefits of a new model. If repairs exceed about 50 % of replacement cost—or if the fixture is more than 10–15 years old—replacement usually delivers better long-term value.
Do new fixtures really help me save water and energy?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-certified toilets, showerheads, and faucets can reduce water consumption by 20–60 % without sacrificing pressure. For example, a 1.28 gpf high-efficiency toilet can save a family of four up to 13,000 gallons a year compared with a 3.5 gpf model. Less hot-water use also lowers natural gas or electric bills. Eye for Detail Plumbing will guide you toward products that qualify for local or utility rebates available in the Andersonville/Clark Street corridor.
How long does a typical fixture replacement visit take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as a faucet or toilet—are completed in 1–2 hours. A shower valve or kitchen sink replacement can take 2–4 hours, while multiple fixtures done at once may require half a day. We stock common parts on our trucks and schedule 2-hour arrival windows, so you won’t have to wait around all day. Before we leave, we test for leaks, balance water pressure, and clean the workspace.
What should I do to prepare for my plumbing fixture replacement appointment?
Clear out items stored under sinks or around the work area, move fragile décor, and make sure pets are secured. If you purchased your own fixture, have it onsite and unboxed so we can verify all components. We’ll shut off your water as briefly as possible, but you may wish to fill a pitcher for drinking or hand-washing. Finally, ensure an adult (18+) is present to approve any unexpected adjustments.
Is Eye for Detail Plumbing licensed, insured, and familiar with Andersonville building codes?
Absolutely. We hold an Illinois Dept. of Public Health (IDPH) plumbing contractor’s license and full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Our team pulls permits with the Chicago Department of Buildings when required and follows local amendments, such as the city’s lead-free solder and water-efficiency ordinances. Because we’re headquartered just south of Foster Avenue, we’re on-site quickly for emergencies and always design installations to pass inspection the first time.
