FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can Care & Efficiency Plumbing replace in my Kodak home?
We replace virtually any residential plumbing fixture, including toilets, faucets, showerheads, tub/shower valves, kitchen and laundry sinks, garbage disposals, outdoor hose bibbs, and even specialty items like pot-filler faucets and bar sinks. If it moves water in or out of your home, we can remove the old unit, upgrade the supply lines and shut-offs, and install a new, code-compliant fixture.
How can I tell when a fixture should be replaced instead of repaired?
Consider replacement when the fixture is more than 10–15 years old, is made of outdated or discontinued parts, shows signs of corrosion or hairline cracks, or has recurring leaks even after previous repairs. Rising water bills, low flow due to mineral buildup, or visible wear on finishes are also clear indicators. During our inspection we’ll measure flow rates, check internal components, and give you an honest assessment of repair vs. replacement cost-effectiveness.
Which fixture brands and models do you recommend for maximum water and energy efficiency?
We typically recommend WaterSense-labeled toilets and faucets from Kohler, American Standard, TOTO, and Moen, which use up to 30 % less water than conventional models without sacrificing performance. For showers we like DeltaÕs H2Okinetic and KohlerÕs Awaken series, which provide a strong spray while limiting flow to 1.75 gpm. In the kitchen, we often install touchless Moen Arbor or Delta Trinsic faucets with aerated 1.5 gpm flow. All recommended products meet or exceed Tennessee building and plumbing codes.
How long does a standard fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture replacements—such as swapping out a toilet or bathroom faucet—take 60–90 minutes, assuming shut-offs are functional and no unexpected pipe damage is found. Multi-fixture jobs (e.g., a full bathroom refresh) usually wrap up the same day. We schedule larger kitchen remodels and multi-bath projects over 1–2 days to accommodate countertop or cabinet work. You’ll receive a detailed timeline before we begin so you know exactly what to expect.
Will new fixtures really reduce my water and utility bills?
Yes. Replacing a 3.5-gallon-per-flush (gpf) toilet with a 1.28 gpf WaterSense toilet saves about 13,000 gallons of water per year for a family of four—roughly $120 at Kodak’s average water rates. Installing low-flow aerators and showerheads typically cuts water consumption by 20–25 %, and if you have a gas or electric water heater, you’ll see parallel energy savings because less hot water is used. Many customers recoup fixture costs within 1–3 years.
Do you provide warranties or guarantees on your fixture replacement services?
Absolutely. All labor is covered by our 1-year workmanship guarantee, which means we’ll correct any installation-related issue at no charge. Manufacturer warranties on the fixtures themselves range from 1 year to lifetime; we register these warranties for you and supply the documentation. In addition, we perform a complimentary post-installation inspection after 30 days to ensure everything is operating flawlessly.
