FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can your Huntsville team replace?
We replace virtually any residential or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, shower valves, tubs, one-piece and two-piece toilets, garbage disposals, outdoor hose bibbs, and even specialty items such as pot-filler faucets or utility sinks. Our licensed plumbers carry the tools and parts needed for most major brands, so we can complete the majority of jobs in a single visit.
How can I tell whether a fixture should be repaired or completely replaced?
As a rule of thumb, consider replacement when a fixture is more than 10–15 years old, shows visible corrosion or cracking, repeatedly leaks after repairs, no longer meets your household’s water-use needs, or is so outdated that parts are difficult to obtain. During our on-site evaluation we’ll inspect the fixture, assess water pressure and supply lines, and provide an honest recommendation along with cost comparisons for repair vs. replacement so you can make an informed decision.
Can you help me choose water-efficient fixtures that comply with Huntsville plumbing codes?
Absolutely. Huntsville follows the 2021 International Plumbing Code and requires all new fixtures to meet EPA WaterSense or equivalent efficiency ratings. We stay current with local amendments and can recommend faucets that flow at 1.5 gpm or less, toilets that flush at 1.28 gpf, and showerheads rated 2.0 gpm or below. We’ll also explain rebates occasionally offered by Huntsville Utilities for high-efficiency upgrades, helping you save water and money.
What factors affect the cost of a plumbing fixture replacement in Huntsville?
Pricing is influenced by (1) the fixture’s quality and brand, (2) accessibility—e.g., tight vanity cabinets or second-story bathrooms add labor time, (3) any code-required valve or supply-line upgrades, (4) the need to modify drain or water-supply piping, and (5) disposal fees for old fixtures. During your free estimate we provide a fixed, up-front price that includes parts, labor, sales tax, and a one-year workmanship warranty—no surprise charges.
How long will my water be shut off and how quickly can the job be finished?
A straightforward faucet, toilet, or disposal swap usually keeps the water off for 20–40 minutes and the entire visit takes around one hour. More involved projects—like replacing a tub/shower valve hidden behind tile—can run 2–4 hours with water shut off for about half that time. We schedule in convenient two-hour arrival windows, phone you en-route, and we always restore service the same day unless major piping issues are uncovered.
Do I need a permit for fixture replacement in Huntsville and who handles inspections?
Huntsville’s Inspection Services Division does not require a permit for like-for-like replacements (e.g., swapping a faucet or toilet), but you will need a plumbing permit if piping is rerouted, a new tub/shower valve is installed in the wall, or if the work occurs in a home undergoing broader remodeling. When a permit is required we pull it for you, schedule the inspection, and provide all code documentation. Our plumbers are Alabama-state licensed and fully insured, ensuring compliance from start to finish.
