FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can Modern Upgrades Plumbing replace in my Riceville home?
Our licensed technicians can remove and install virtually any residential fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, showerheads, tub valves, toilets, garbage disposals, dishwashers, ice-maker lines, and outdoor hose bibbs. We also handle specialty items such as touchless faucets, smart shower panels, and bidet seats.
How do I know it’s time to upgrade or replace a faucet, toilet, or showerhead?
Common signs include persistent leaks, visible corrosion, mineral buildup that won’t clean off, decreasing water pressure, dated styling, or rising water bills. In Riceville’s hard-water environment, fixtures often scale up faster; if repairs become frequent or replacement parts are no longer available, an upgrade is usually more economical.
Are modern low-flow or WaterSense-labeled fixtures really worth the investment?
Yes. WaterSense faucets and showerheads can cut water use by up to 30 %, and today’s high-efficiency toilets use as little as 1.28 gpf—about half of older models. With Riceville’s average water/sewer rates, many customers see payback in 18–24 months through lower utility bills. In addition, local utility rebates frequently reduce upfront costs.
How long will a typical fixture replacement take, and will I be without water all day?
Most single-fixture swaps—like a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours. A multi-fixture bathroom upgrade can be completed the same day. We isolate only the fixture being worked on, so whole-house water shut-offs usually last 15–30 minutes, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Do I have to purchase the fixtures myself, or can you supply them?
Either option works. You can pick your own fixtures from a home-center or online retailer and we’ll install them, or we can source professional-grade products on your behalf—often at contractor pricing—and bring them to the jobsite with full manufacturer warranties.
Will upgrading my fixtures require changes to existing plumbing or cabinetry?
In most cases, modern fixtures are designed to fit standard U.S. rough-in dimensions, so no structural changes are needed. If you’re switching from a two-handle faucet to a single-handle, widening a sink hole, or converting to a wall-mounted toilet, we’ll review any necessary modifications during the estimate and include carpentry or drywall repairs in the proposal.
