FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Charleston home?
Our licensed technicians can replace virtually any residential plumbing fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, showerheads, bathtubs, utility sinks, outdoor hose bibbs, and even specialty items like pot-fillers and bar sinks. If you have an older or hard-to-find fixture, we can source a modern equivalent or a like-for-like replacement that meets todayâs codes and efficiency standards.
How do I know when itâs better to replace a fixture rather than repair it?
Frequent leaks, corrosion, mineral buildup from Charlestonâs hard water, outdated styles, poor water efficiency, or visible cracks are all signs that replacement is the more cost-effective choice. If repair parts are obsolete or the fixture is more than 10â15 years old, a new unit will usually save money on water bills and reduce the risk of future plumbing emergencies.
What brands and materials do you use to ensure high-quality craftsmanship?
We install fixtures from reputable manufacturers such as Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, Toto, and Grohe. Materials include lead-free solid brass, 304 stainless steel, vitreous china, and acrylic or cast-iron tubs with durable enamel finishes. Each product we recommend has undergone rigorous testing for performance, longevity, and compliance with Charleston and South Carolina plumbing codes.
Will you take care of permits and code compliance for fixture replacements?
Yes. For extensive projectsâespecially those involving structural changes, drain line alterations, or backflow prevention devicesâwe handle all permitting with the City of Charleston and ensure the installation passes inspection. Our team stays current with the latest International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments, so you never have to worry about compliance issues or surprise re-inspection fees.
How long will my plumbing fixture replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most straightforward replacements (e.g., faucet or toilet) take 1â2 hours. Larger projects like a tub-to-shower conversion or multiple fixtures in one visit can take a half-day to a full day. We shut off water only to the affected areaâusually 15â30 minutes for simple swapsâand restore service as soon as the new fixture is leak-tested. We schedule work around your routine to minimize disruption.
What warranties or guarantees do you provide on your fixture replacement services?
All workmanship is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, and many of the fixtures we install come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime coverage. If you experience any leaks, defects, or installation-related issues within the warranty period, we return promptly at no charge to make it right. We also offer optional extended service plans for added peace of mind.
