FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can Optimal Performance Plumbing replace in my Huntsville home?
Our licensed technicians can remove and install virtually any residential or light-commercial fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, showerheads, tub and shower valves, outdoor hose bibbs, utility sinks, and ice-maker or laundry box connections. We also replace specialty items such as touchless faucets, smart shower systems, bidet seats, and low-flow or dual-flush toilets to help you meet water-efficiency goals.
How can I tell whether it’s better to repair a fixture or replace it altogether?
A fixture usually makes sense to replace when it is more than 10–15 years old, shows signs of corrosion or cracks, repeatedly leaks despite repairs, or no longer meets current efficiency standards. For example, older toilets may use up to 5 gpf (gallons per flush) compared to modern 1.28 gpf WaterSense models. If the cost of parts and labor to repair exceeds half the price of a new, more efficient unit—or if replacement will lower your monthly water bill—our technicians will recommend replacing rather than repairing.
What advantages do new water-efficient fixtures offer beyond lower utility bills?
Besides saving up to 20–60 % on water consumption, high-efficiency fixtures reduce the strain on Huntsville’s municipal water system, minimize the risk of leaks caused by worn internal parts, and increase home value and buyer appeal. Many modern fixtures incorporate improved ergonomics, quieter operation, built-in scald protection, and finishes that resist mineral build-up—reducing cleaning time and maintenance costs.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take and will my water be shut off the whole time?
Most single-fixture swaps (e.g., a faucet or toilet) take 1–2 hours. Multi-fixture bathrooms or kitchen projects can range from half a day to a full day. We isolate the specific supply lines so only the affected area is without water during the installation; whole-house shut-offs are rarely needed and, when they are, they last 15–30 minutes. We schedule work at convenient times and always restore service before leaving.
Can I buy my own fixtures, or do I have to purchase them through Optimal Performance Plumbing?
You are welcome to supply your own fixtures, and we will install them as long as they meet local code and manufacturer standards. However, most clients opt to purchase through us because we provide professional-grade models, verify compatibility with existing connections, and handle any warranty claims directly. When we supply the fixture, our labor and the manufacturer’s warranty are bundled, giving you a single point of contact if an issue arises.
Are permits or inspections required for plumbing fixture replacements in Huntsville?
Simple like-for-like swaps (e.g., replacing a faucet or toilet without moving supply lines) usually do not require a permit. If the work involves relocating drains, altering venting, or upgrading supply piping, a City of Huntsville plumbing permit and inspection may be necessary. Our team is familiar with local codes and will secure any needed permits, schedule inspections, and ensure the installation meets or exceeds the International Plumbing Code adopted by Madison County.
