FAQs
What kinds of plumbing fixtures do you replace in Wartburg homes and businesses?
Our licensed plumbers can remove and install virtually any standard or specialty fixture, including kitchen and bathroom faucets, sinks, toilets, shower valves, tubs, garbage disposals, outdoor hose bibs, laundry trays, and ice-maker or pot-filler lines. If water runs through it, we can replace it, and we always verify that the new unit meets local Morgan County plumbing and backflow codes.
How can I tell whether a fixture should be repaired or completely replaced?
Age, repeated leaks, visible corrosion, hard-to-find parts, outdated water-use ratings, and aesthetic issues are strong indicators that replacement is the smarter long-term option. During our on-site evaluation we check water pressure, supply lines, shut-off valves, and the condition of the fixture body to give you an honest recommendation and cost comparison between repair and replacement.
Can I supply my own faucet or toilet, or do I have to purchase fixtures through you?
You’re free to provide any fixture you’ve already purchased locally or online, and we’ll install it as long as it is UPC/CSA certified for use in Tennessee. If you prefer full service, we maintain relationships with major suppliers in Knoxville and can source competitively priced, high-quality fixtures—including ADA-compliant and low-flow models—then deliver them to your Wartburg property at no additional pickup charge.
How long will a typical fixture replacement take?
Most single-fixture swaps, such as a faucet or standard toilet, take 60–90 minutes once we’re on site. Complex replacements—like cast-iron tub removal, multiple bathroom upgrades, or fixtures located behind tiled walls—may extend to half a day. We give you a time estimate before any work begins and keep your water shut-off period as short as possible.
Are water-saving fixtures really worth it, and do they meet local code?
Yes. A modern WaterSense-labeled faucet can reduce household sink water use by up to 30 percent, and 1.28-gpf toilets can save more than 13,000 gallons each year versus older 3.5-gpf models. Wartburg follows the 2018 IRC and IPC codes, both of which fully approve WaterSense and other low-flow fixtures. Installing them can also earn credits on your monthly bill from Wartburg Water Utility’s conservation program.
What does fixture replacement cost, and do you guarantee your work?
Pricing depends on fixture type, accessibility, and any needed valve or drain line upgrades. As a guideline, faucet replacements start around $150 (labor only) and toilets around $195. You’ll receive a written, upfront quote that includes labor, standard supplies, taxes, and haul-away of the old fixture. All workmanship is backed by a one-year labor warranty, and most manufacturer parts carry additional coverage of 3–10 years.
