FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Huntsville home?
We replace virtually every common residential and light-commercial plumbing fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, showers, bathtubs, garbage disposals, hose bibbs, ice-maker lines, and laundry connections. Whether you need a like-for-like swap or want to upgrade to a premium, high-efficiency model, our licensed plumbers can source, install, and test the fixture to ensure leak-free performance and full code compliance.
How do I know if a plumbing fixture needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Signs that replacement is the better option include recurring leaks, visible corrosion, cracks in porcelain or fiberglass, low water pressure due to internal wear, and outdated fixtures that lack parts availability. If repair costs exceed about 50% of the price of a new fixture—or if the fixture is 10–15 years old—replacement typically delivers better long-term value and efficiency.
Do I need a permit for fixture replacement in Huntsville, and will you handle it?
Simple one-for-one swaps of faucets or toilets usually do not require a city permit. However, moving fixture locations, altering drain lines, or installing new shut-off valves can trigger Huntsville Plumbing Code requirements. Our team reviews each job, pulls any necessary permits on your behalf, and arranges the final inspection so you stay fully compliant without the paperwork hassle.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture replacements—like a toilet or kitchen faucet—are completed in 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved projects, such as converting a tub to a walk-in shower or relocating supply and drain lines, may take a full day or longer. We provide a realistic timeline up front and keep you informed if unforeseen issues (e.g., hidden water damage) arise.
Can new fixtures help me save water and lower utility bills?
Yes. Replacing older 3.5–7 gpf toilets with WaterSense-certified 1.28 gpf models can reduce toilet water use by up to 60%. Low-flow showerheads cut flow from 2.5 gpm to as low as 1.5 gpm without sacrificing comfort, while aerated faucets use 30–50% less water. Over a year, a family of four in Huntsville can save hundreds of gallons and noticeably reduce both water and sewer charges.
What does fixture replacement cost and do you offer warranties?
Costs vary by fixture type, brand, and installation complexity. A basic faucet replacement typically ranges from $150–$300 (labor and standard parts), while a high-efficiency toilet install averages $350–$600. We provide upfront, itemized quotes with no hidden fees. All installations carry our 1-year labor warranty, and we honor manufacturers’ parts warranties—often 5–10 years or lifetime on select fixtures.
