FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace a plumbing fixture instead of repairing it?
Frequent leaks, visible corrosion, recurring clogs, cracked porcelain, or outdated, inefficient models are strong indicators it’s time for replacement. If the cost of repairing a faucet, toilet, or shower valve approaches 50% of the price of a new, more efficient fixture, replacement is usually the smarter, long-term choice.
What types of plumbing fixtures can you replace in Talbott homes?
We replace and install all common residential fixtures, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, toilets, sinks, garbage disposals, shower valves and heads, tub spouts, bidets, utility sinks, and outdoor hose bibbs. If you have a specialty or high-end fixture, we can usually handle those as well—just let us know the model and any special requirements.
Can I purchase the fixtures myself and have your plumbers install them?
Yes. Many clients choose fixtures that match their décor and budget, then hire us for professional installation to keep the manufacturer’s warranty intact. We’ll review the product specs in advance to confirm compatibility with your existing plumbing and bring any extra fittings or valves needed on installation day.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as a faucet, toilet, or garbage disposal—take 1–2 hours once we’re on site, provided shut-off valves are functional and no hidden damage is discovered. Complex jobs like replacing a shower valve inside the wall or adding new shut-offs can take 3–4 hours. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate after our initial assessment.
Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture replacements in Talbott?
Simple like-for-like replacements (e.g., swapping an old faucet or toilet for a new model) typically do not need a permit in Talbott. However, if we must alter drain lines, move water supply piping, or open walls, a local permit and inspection may be required. We handle all permitting when it applies and will inform you before work begins.
Are new fixtures more water- and energy-efficient, and will they save me money?
Absolutely. Modern toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared to older 3–5 gpf units, cutting water use by up to 60%. WaterSense-labeled faucets and showerheads reduce flow without sacrificing pressure, lowering both water and water-heating costs. Over a year, many households recoup a good portion of the replacement cost in utility savings.
