FAQs
What types of plumbing fixtures can Modern Techniques Plumbing replace in my Winchester home?
We can remove and install virtually any residential or light-commercial plumbing fixture, including sinks, faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, showers, tubs, hose bibbs, ice-maker lines, and laundry/utility sinks. If it delivers or drains water, our licensed plumbers are equipped to replace it quickly and up to the latest Winchester and Massachusetts plumbing codes.
How do I know whether a fixture needs replacement instead of a simple repair?
A fixture usually warrants replacement when it shows persistent leaks or cracks, has significant corrosion or mineral buildup, requires frequent service calls, or is outdated and no longer meets current efficiency standards. Toilets older than 20 years, faucets that have internal pitting, and disposals with motor burn-out are all common replacement candidates. During our visit, we inspect the fixture, explain the condition, and recommend the most cost-effective option.
What is the typical process and timeline for a fixture replacement appointment?
Most standard fixture swaps (toilet, faucet, disposal) are completed in a single visit that lasts 1–3 hours. Tubs or shower valves can take longer, especially if wall tile must be removed and reset. The process generally includes (1) shutting off water, (2) protecting surrounding surfaces, (3) removing the old unit, (4) preparing connections and checking shut-off valves, (5) installing and leveling the new fixture, (6) pressure testing for leaks, and (7) final cleanup. We schedule at your convenience and call 30 minutes before arrival.
Should I purchase the new fixtures myself or can you supply them?
Either option works. Many clients prefer our supply service because we source professional-grade products from local distributors, verify that every part fits existing plumbing, and handle warranty claims if anything goes wrong. If you have already chosen a fixture from a retailer, we are happy to install it as long as it meets local code requirements. We’ll still inspect it on-site to confirm compatibility before installation.
Are water-efficient fixtures worth the investment?
Absolutely. EPA WaterSense-labeled faucets, showerheads, and toilets can reduce indoor water use by up to 30 %. In Winchester, that translates to noticeable savings on your MWRA water bill and reduces strain on local resources. For example, replacing a 3.5-gallon toilet with a 1.28-gallon high-efficiency model saves roughly 13,000 gallons per year in an average four-person household. Many manufacturers also offer rebates, further offsetting the upfront cost.
Do you provide warranties on parts and labor for fixture replacements?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a standard two-year labor warranty, double the Massachusetts minimum. Fixtures we supply carry the full manufacturer warranty—typically 5–10 years on faucets and limited lifetime on many toilets. If a factory defect appears within the warranty period, we handle the replacement paperwork and install the new part at no labor charge.
