FAQs
Which plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Soddy-Daisy home?
Our licensed plumbers can remove and install virtually any residential fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves and heads, bathtubs, utility sinks, outdoor hose bibbs, and laundry connections. If the fixture carries water and can be purchased at a local supplier or home-improvement store, we can replace it for you.
How long does a typical plumbing fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as a faucet, toilet, or disposal—are completed in 1–2 hours once the plumber is on-site. More involved projects, like replacing a tub/shower valve hidden behind the wall, can take half a day, and multiple-fixture bathroom or kitchen updates may run a full day. We always provide a time estimate after our initial inspection so you know what to expect.
Do I need a permit in Soddy-Daisy for fixture replacement?
For simple like-for-like fixture changes (e.g., replacing an existing faucet or toilet with a new one), Hamilton County does not require a permit. If the project involves moving supply or drain lines, cutting into structural walls or floors, or installing a new fixture where none existed, the county’s Building Inspection Department will require a plumbing permit and, in some cases, an inspection. Our team handles all permitting and code compliance on your behalf.
Will new fixtures really lower my water and utility bills?
Yes. Modern WaterSense-certified faucets and toilets use up to 30 % less water without sacrificing pressure or performance. A standard 3.5-gallon toilet replaced with a 1.28-gallon high-efficiency model can save a family of four more than 13,000 gallons of water a year—about $120 annually at current Soddy-Daisy water and sewer rates.
What signs tell me it’s time to replace a plumbing fixture rather than repair it?
Replace the fixture when you notice chronic leaks, visible corrosion, cracked porcelain, significant mineral buildup, low water pressure that isn’t supply-line related, or when replacement parts are discontinued. If the cost to repair exceeds roughly 50 % of the price of a new fixture, or if the fixture is over 15–20 years old, replacement is usually the smarter investment.
How much does plumbing fixture replacement cost in the Soddy-Daisy area?
Pricing depends on the type of fixture, its accessibility, and whether piping modifications are required. As a ballpark: toilet replacement ranges from $300–$550 (labor and mid-grade toilet included), standard kitchen or bath faucet $225–$375, garbage disposal $275–$425, and tub/shower valve $550–$900 due to wall access. We provide flat-rate, up-front quotes after evaluating your specific installation so there are no surprises.
