Faucet installation and plumbing fixture repair covers everything from swapping out a leaking kitchen faucet to replacing a shower valve during a bathroom remodel, performed by a licensed plumber serving Metro Atlanta and the surrounding Georgia communities. For homeowners, this service means a correctly connected, properly sealed fixture that holds water where it belongs and delivers the pressure and temperature control you expect.
All Purpose Heating & Air Conditioning has been locally owned and operating for more than 35 years. When you call us for a faucet or fixture job, you get a plumber who knows the work and explains what they find, not a salesperson running through a script.
Fixture work sounds simple until it isn’t. Supply lines corrode. Shutoff valves freeze in the open position. A garbage disposal swap turns into a drain connection problem. We have seen it all, and we come prepared to handle what is actually behind the wall or under the sink, not just what the job looked like on the phone.
Whether you are updating fixtures in a kitchen remodel or dealing with a faucet that has been dripping for months, we can give you a clear picture of what the job involves and what it will take to fix it right.
Some plumbing problems announce themselves loudly. Others just sit there, quietly costing you money.
A dripping faucet is the obvious one. You hear it at night, you try tightening the handle, and it keeps going. That drip is usually a worn cartridge or a failed seat washer. Left alone, it adds up on your water bill and can eventually damage the sink basin or the cabinet below.
A running toilet is less obvious because you only notice it when the tank refills for no reason, or you press your hand to the handle and feel a faint vibration. The flapper or fill valve is usually the culprit. It wastes a significant amount of water every day and will not fix itself.
A shower valve that won’t hold temperature is more than annoying. If the water swings hot when someone flushes a toilet elsewhere in the house, the pressure-balancing cartridge inside the valve is worn. Replacing it restores consistent temperature and is a safety issue, not just a comfort one.
A garbage disposal that hums but won’t spin has a jammed or burned-out motor. Sometimes a reset and a manual turn of the flywheel fixes it. Sometimes the unit needs to come out entirely.
During a kitchen or bathroom remodel, old fixtures come out and new ones go in. That is the right time to replace shutoff valves and supply lines that are already decades old, because the wall is open and the water is already off.
None of these problems get cheaper by waiting. The sooner a licensed plumber looks at it, the smaller the job usually stays.
Every fixture job starts the same way: we shut off the water supply, confirm the shutoff actually holds, and protect the work area before anything comes apart. That first step tells us a lot. A shutoff valve that leaks when closed means we address that before we touch the fixture.
Removing the old fixture means disconnecting the supply lines, loosening the mounting hardware, and pulling the faucet or fixture free. On older installs, the hardware is often corroded in place. We come with the right tools to break it loose without damaging the sink deck or the surrounding finish.
Once the old fixture is out, we inspect the supply and drain connections. Supply lines get replaced as a matter of course. Braided stainless lines are standard. If the drain assembly is original to the house and showing wear, we say so and let you decide before we button everything up.
Valve replacement happens when the existing shutoff valve is a gate valve, is corroded, or will not close fully. We swap it for a quarter-turn ball valve, which is more reliable and easier to operate in an emergency.
The new fixture goes in with the proper sealant and mounting torque. We do not overtighten, which cracks sink decks, and we do not undertighten, which causes leaks at the base.
Testing is the last step and not a formality. We restore water pressure slowly, run the fixture through its full range, check every connection point, and look at the drain under flow. We check again after a few minutes. If anything weeps, we find it before we leave.
The job is not done until the water is on, the fixture works, and nothing is dripping.
All Purpose Heating & Air Conditioning serves homeowners throughout the Metro Atlanta area, including communities like Alpharetta, Newnan, Peachtree City, McDonough, and Conyers. Whether you are in a newer subdivision or an older in-town neighborhood, the plumbing conditions we find vary a lot, and we adjust to what is actually there.
What drives the cost and timeline of a fixture job comes down to a few concrete factors. The number and type of fixtures matters most. A single kitchen faucet swap is a straightforward afternoon. A full bathroom fixture replacement during a remodel, covering the tub spout, shower valve, and vanity faucet together, takes longer and involves more connection points.
Valve and supply line condition adds time when existing shutoff valves need replacement or when supply lines run through tight spaces. Homes with original galvanized supply lines or corroded angle stops need that work addressed before a new fixture will perform reliably.
Access is the other variable. A faucet under an open vanity is easy to reach. A tub valve behind a finished wall is a different conversation entirely.
If your water heater is aging and you are already scheduling plumbing work, it is worth asking about it at the same time. You can learn more about what is involved on our water heater services page. And if slow drains are part of the picture in your kitchen or bathroom, our drain cleaning service can address that in the same visit.
The only way to get a real number for your specific job is to have someone look at it. Request your estimate and we will get out to you and tell you exactly what the work involves.
