FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Huntsville home?
We handle the full spectrum of household fixtures, including faucets (kitchen, bathroom, bar), sinks, toilets, showerheads, tub-and-shower valves, garbage disposals, ice-maker and dishwasher connections, outdoor hose bibbs, and laundry room utility sinks. If it delivers or drains water, we can remove the old unit, modify supply or drain lines as needed, and install a new, code-compliant fixture.
How can I tell whether a fixture needs replacement instead of repair?
Age, corrosion, chronic leaks, low water pressure, and outdated water-wasting designs are the main indicators. Faucets older than 10–15 years, toilets manufactured before 1994 (3.5 gpf models), or fixtures with pitted metal and internal cracks often cost more to keep repairing than replacing. If parts are discontinued or repairs exceed 50 % of replacement cost, we recommend swapping the unit for a modern one that will save water and future service calls.
Are high-efficiency or WaterSense fixtures really worth the extra cost?
Yes. WaterSense-labeled faucets, showerheads, and toilets reduce water usage by 20–30 % without sacrificing performance. In Huntsville, where water and sewer rates continue to climb, that can translate into $100–$200 in annual utility savings for the average family. Additionally, many local rebates cover part of the purchase price, and reduced hot-water demand lowers your energy bills. Over the fixture’s lifespan, the payback typically occurs within 1–2 years.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved projects, like replacing a tub/shower valve buried in the wall or relocating supply lines, can take half a day. We schedule in convenient two-hour arrival windows and keep most common fixtures and parts on our truck so your water is back on quickly.
Do I need to purchase the new fixtures myself, or can you supply them?
Either option works. Many clients choose fixtures through us because they receive professional-grade products, correct sizing, and full manufacturer warranties backed by our labor guarantee. If you’ve already purchased a fixture, we’ll inspect it to make sure it’s compatible with your existing plumbing and meets Huntsville’s plumbing code before installing it.
Will I need a permit or inspection for fixture replacements in Huntsville?
Simple like-for-like replacements (e.g., swapping a faucet or toilet without moving pipes) generally do not require a city permit. However, if we alter drain or supply lines, open walls, or relocate the fixture, Huntsville’s Building Inspection Department does require a plumbing permit and final inspection. As a licensed and insured contractor, we handle all permitting and coordinate inspections so your project stays code-compliant and hassle-free.
