FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can your Cowan team replace?
Our licensed plumbers can remove and install virtually any residential or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, tubs, showers, garbage disposals, hose bibs, ice-maker lines, and laundry or utility sinks. We also handle specialty items such as touchless faucets, low-flow toilets, wall-hung toilets, bidet seats, and electronic shower valves.
How do I know whether a fixture should be repaired or fully replaced?
A fixture usually makes sense to replace when it shows chronic leaks, is corroded or cracked, uses outdated parts that are hard to source, or no longer meets current water-efficiency codes. If repairs would cost more than 50 % of the price of a modern replacement—or if you want to update your décor or raise property value—replacement is the better investment. Our technicians will inspect the fixture on-site and give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation before any work begins.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps (for example a faucet or toilet) are completed in 1–2 hours once the new unit is on hand and the shut-off valves are in good shape. More involved projects—such as retrofitting a freestanding tub, relocating supply lines, or converting a two-handle shower to a pressure-balanced valve—can take half a day to a full day. We’ll provide a time estimate after evaluating access, shutoff location, and any finish work required.
Can you supply the new fixtures, or should I purchase them myself?
Either option works. Many clients prefer that we supply fixtures because we can recommend proven brands, ensure compatibility with existing plumbing, and pass along our trade discounts. All fixtures we provide are backed by the manufacturer’s warranty and our labor warranty. If you already have a fixture picked out, we’ll gladly install it as long as it meets local code and is in new, undamaged condition.
Are permits or inspections required for fixture replacements in Cowan?
Simple like-for-like fixture swaps (e.g., replacing a faucet or toilet without altering piping) typically do not require a municipal permit in Cowan. However, any job that moves drain or supply lines, penetrates structural members, or ties into the main sewer often does. We stay current with Cowan and Franklin County plumbing codes and will secure any required permits, schedule inspections, and include the associated fees in your written quote.
Will upgrading my fixtures really save water and lower utility bills?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-certified faucets and toilets use up to 60 % less water than older models while maintaining pressure and performance. A family of four can save more than 2,700 gallons of water per year by switching from a 3.5-gpf toilet to a 1.28-gpf unit. Reduced water consumption translates into lower water and, in many cases, reduced sewer fees. We’ll outline projected savings during the consultation so you can gauge payback time on the upgrade.
