FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures can you replace in my Townsend home?
Our licensed plumbers can replace virtually any residential fixture, including faucets, sinks, toilets, garbage disposals, showerheads, tub spouts, supply-line shut-off valves, and outdoor hose bibbs. We also handle specialty items such as pot-filler faucets, low-flow/dual-flush toilets, and utility sink assemblies. If water runs through it, chances are we can replace it.
How do I know when a fixture should be replaced rather than repaired?
Replacement is recommended when a fixture is over 10–15 years old, has recurring leaks or corrosion, no longer meets today’s water-efficiency standards, or shows visible wear such as hairline cracks, pitting, or stubborn mineral buildup. Replacing an outdated fixture can lower water bills, prevent unexpected flooding, and update the look of your kitchen or bath.
Do I have to buy the new fixture myself, or can you supply it?
You have two options. You can purchase a fixture you’ve already chosen and have us install it, or you can ask us to supply one for you. Many customers prefer that we source the fixture because we have access to professional-grade products, can ensure compatibility with your existing plumbing, and can pass along manufacturer warranties. We’re happy to discuss style, finish, flow rate, and budget to help you decide.
How long does a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps—such as a faucet, toilet, or shower valve—take 1–2 hours once we’re on site, not counting any drywall repair or tile work that might be necessary. Multiple fixtures or upgrades that require rerouting water lines will add time. We provide a time estimate before work begins and strive to minimize disruption to your day.
Are permits or inspections required for fixture replacements in Townsend, DE?
The Town of Townsend does not normally require a plumbing permit for a like-for-like replacement that doesn’t move pipes or alter the drainage system. However, if pipes must be relocated, the job typically falls under New Castle County plumbing codes and may require a permit and inspection. We handle any necessary paperwork so your project is fully code-compliant.
What guarantees do you offer on your workmanship and the new fixture?
All our fixture replacements carry a 1-year labor warranty that covers our installation work. If we supply the fixture, you also receive the manufacturer’s parts warranty—often 5–10 years on mechanical components and limited lifetime on finishes. Should you encounter any installation-related problem within the warranty period, we’ll return promptly at no charge to make it right.
