FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Rutledge homes and businesses?
We replace virtually any water-using or drain-connected fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves, tubs, utility sinks, hose bibbs, and even specialty items like pot-fillers or bidets. If it’s attached to your supply or drain system, we have the tools, parts, and experience to remove the old unit and install a durable, high-performance replacement.
How do you make sure the new fixtures deliver long-term performance and durability?
First, we recommend and install fixtures built with solid-brass or stainless-steel internals, ceramic disc cartridges, and rust-resistant finishes. Second, we always inspect and, if necessary, upgrade the supply lines, shut-off valves, and supports so the entire assembly is as reliable as the fixture itself. Finally, we test water pressure, flow rate, and drainage before we leave, ensuring everything operates at manufacturer specifications.
Which brands or materials do you usually recommend for replacement fixtures?
For heavy-use areas we favor brands like Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard because they offer metal construction, lifetime part warranties, and ready local availability of service parts. In commercial settings, we often specify Sloan or Chicago Faucet for their vandal-resistant designs. If you have a preferred brand or finish, we’re happy to source it as long as it meets our performance and durability criteria.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as replacing a faucet or toilet—take 1–2 hours once we’re on site. More involved projects, like a shower valve buried in the wall, can take 3–5 hours because drywall or tile often needs to be opened and repaired. We give you a realistic time estimate during the free on-site assessment, and we schedule work to minimize disruption to your routine.
Do I need a permit for fixture replacement in Rutledge, and will you handle the paperwork?
Simple like-for-like swaps (e.g., faucet for faucet) usually do not require a municipal permit. However, alterations that involve moving water lines, changing drain sizes, or opening structural walls may trigger a plumbing permit or inspection under the City of Rutledge building code. If a permit is required, we prepare the application, pay the filing fee (itemized in your quote), arrange inspections, and provide you with the final sign-off documentation.
What kind of warranty or service guarantee do you provide?
All labor is covered by our 2-year workmanship guarantee. If a connection leaks or a fixture doesn’t perform as promised within that period, we repair it at no charge. In addition, most fixtures we install carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime on mechanical parts and finishes. We register those warranties for you and keep digital copies on file, so making a claim is quick and hassle-free.
