Should I Repair or Replace My Faucet?
If you have an older faucet you love, repair is almost always an option. Even if parts are hard to come by, we’ll acquire them and perform the restoration. With modern faucets, many repairs are relatively simple and inexpensive. Those include problems related to worn O-rings, worn cartridges, and clogged aerators. If the problems are more expensive, such as a corroded valve seat, we’ll generally recommend replacement. While it will cost a bit more now, it can save you significant money in the years ahead.
Full-Range Fixture Replacement Options
Our company performs custom plumbing fixture installations. We also offer a broad selection of fixtures from the most popular brands, including high-efficiency fixtures that have earned WaterSense certification from the EPA.
Federal law requires modern toilets to use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF). WaterSense toilets use no more than 1.28 GPF. They often have dual-flush capabilities that can cut water use by half when you don’t need full flushing power. An integrated bidet can lower your household’s overall water use from an environmental standpoint. Standard showerheads typically use 2.5 gallons per minute (GPM). WaterSense showerheads use 2.0 GPM or less without noticeable loss of water pressure. We also install low-flow aerators that can significantly reduce your faucet water usage.

Faucet & Fixture FAQs
Here are answers to several common questions Elmont homeowners have about our faucets, showerheads, and other plumbing fixtures. If you have additional questions, we’ll be happy to answer them when you call or contact us online.
Can A Leaking Faucet Increase My Water Bill?
Yes, even a small drip from a faucet can have a significant impact on your water bill. A slow drip will waste 350 gallons of water on average, increasing your monthly bill by about $5. A fast drip will waste 3,000 gallons of water a month, increasing your bill up to $45. Common causes, such as worn cartridges and O-rings, are relatively simple to fix.
Why Is My Faucet Making Strange Noises?
Unusual faucet noises often indicate a problem with the water flow, water pressure, or hardware. It could be as simple as a clogged aerator causing sputtering sounds. A worn O-ring or corroded valve seat can lead to vibrations that cause odd noises. If you have a pressure-reducing valve, a hissing sound often means the PRV is failing.
Are New Plumbing Fixtures More Water-Efficient?
Yes, new plumbing fixtures are more efficient, especially compared to fixtures manufactured over a decade ago. Low-flow aerators can reduce faucet flow from 2.2 GPM to 1.5 GPM or less. Modern showerheads use no more than 2.5 GPM, and high-efficiency models use 2.0 GPM or less. Modern toilets use no more than 1.6 GPF, and high-efficiency models use 1.28 GPF or less and often have dual-flush capabilities.
