FAQs
What kinds of outdated plumbing fixtures can you replace in Oneida homes and businesses?
We handle the removal and installation of almost any plumbing fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, shower valves, showerheads, laundry tubs, outdoor hose bibbs, garbage disposals, and supply/stop valves. Whether your current fixture is leaking, corroded, stained, or simply out of style, our licensed plumbers can provide a modern, code-compliant replacement that fits your space and budget.
Why is it smarter to replace an old fixture rather than keep repairing it?
Aging fixtures often hide issues such as internal corrosion, worn rubber seals, mineral buildup, and even lead components that can contaminate drinking water. Replacing them eliminates recurring leak repairs, improves water efficiency, reduces the risk of sudden failures and water damage, and can enhance property value. Newer WaterSense-labeled toilets and faucets use up to 60% less water, saving hundreds of gallons per year and lowering your City of Oneida utility bill.
How long will my water be shut off while you replace a fixture?
Most single-fixture swaps take 30–90 minutes once the plumber is on-site. We isolate the water to the specific fixture (or to the room) instead of shutting down your entire house whenever possible. Full bathroom fixture updates may require multiple shut-offs throughout the day, but you will always have at least one functioning toilet, and we coordinate each step with you so disruptions are minimal.
Do I need a permit or inspection to change plumbing fixtures in Oneida?
For a like-for-like fixture replacement—such as swapping a toilet, faucet, or showerhead in the same location—Oneida’s Building Department generally does not require a permit. If the project involves moving drain lines, venting, or altering the water supply piping, a plumbing permit and inspection are required. Our team checks your specific project details, pulls any necessary permits, and arranges inspections so you remain fully code-compliant.
How much does fixture replacement cost, and do you offer free estimates?
Costs vary with fixture type, brand, and installation complexity. As a ballpark, basic faucet replacements start around $185 installed, standard toilet replacements from $365, and tub/shower valve replacements from $495. We provide free on-site or virtual estimates, outlining parts, labor, and any necessary disposal fees up front—no hidden charges.
Can modern fixtures really lower my water and energy bills in Oneida?
Absolutely. Replacing a 3.5-gallon-per-flush toilet from the 1980s with a 1.28-gallon WaterSense model saves about 16,000 gallons of water per year for a family of four. High-efficiency faucets and showerheads reduce both water and the gas or electricity needed to heat it. Over time, these savings offset the initial fixture cost while helping conserve Oneida’s municipal water resources.
