FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Andersonville homes?
Our licensed plumbers can replace virtually any residential or light-commercial fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, bathtubs, outdoor hose bibs, and water-saving appliances such as low-flow showerheads. If it carries water, we can remove the old unit, upgrade the supply and drain connections, and install a brand-new fixture that meets today’s efficiency and style standards.
How do I know it’s time to replace a plumbing fixture instead of repairing it?
Frequent leaks, corrosion, mineral buildup, cracked porcelain, hard-to-find replacement parts, and outdated water-wasting designs are common signs that a fixture is at the end of its service life. If repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new fixture—or if the unit is more than 10–15 years old—replacement is usually the most economical choice. During our on-site inspection we will provide an honest assessment and let you decide what works best for your budget.
What brands and materials do you recommend for long-lasting results?
We install industry-leading brands such as Kohler, Delta, Moen, American Standard, Toto, InSinkErator, and Grohe, because they offer robust warranties and readily available replacement parts. For faucets and valves we favor solid brass bodies with ceramic disc cartridges; for sinks we recommend 18-gauge stainless steel or vitreous china; and for toilets we suggest WaterSense-certified models with high-efficiency 1.28-gpf mechanisms. We are happy to source custom fixtures if you have a specific aesthetic in mind.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as swapping a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours once we’re on site. Complex projects like converting a tub to a walk-in shower can take a full day. We only shut off the water to the affected branch line, not the entire house, unless the main shutoff is the only option. Before leaving, we turn the water back on, test for leaks, clean the work area, and haul away the old fixture for recycling or disposal.
Do you handle permitting and code compliance in Andersonville?
Yes. Andersonville follows Chicago’s plumbing code, which requires permits for certain fixture changes (especially those involving drain line modifications or backflow prevention). Our team pulls the necessary permits, schedules any city inspections, and ensures everything—from vent sizing to trap placement—meets local and Illinois state standards. You get a code-compliant installation without the paperwork headache.
How much does fixture replacement cost, and do you offer financing or warranties?
Pricing varies by fixture type, brand, and any piping modifications required. As a guideline, faucet replacements start around $250, standard toilets around $450, and garbage disposals around $325, including labor and disposal of the old unit. We provide upfront written estimates with no hidden fees. All workmanship is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, and most fixtures come with manufacturer warranties of 5 years to lifetime. For larger projects we partner with a financing provider offering 0% promotional APR plans to qualified homeowners.
