Since our founding in July 1990, we’ve established ourselves as the trusted choice for homeowners seeking reliable plumbing solutions throughout the area.

Plumbing fixture installation encompasses far more than simply replacing old components with new ones. Each installation requires careful consideration of water pressure, pipe compatibility, drainage requirements, and aesthetic integration with your existing bathroom or kitchen design. Our certified technicians understand these complexities and approach every project with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring your new fixtures function flawlessly for years to come.

Common Types of Plumbing Fixtures We Install

The range of plumbing fixtures available today offers homeowners unprecedented choice in functionality and design. Bathroom fixtures include toilets, bidets, bathtubs, shower systems, and various sink configurations. Each type requires specific installation techniques and considerations. Modern toilets, for instance, come in various designs including one-piece, two-piece, wall-mounted, and smart toilets with advanced features like heated seats and automatic flushing mechanisms. These sophisticated units often require electrical connections alongside traditional plumbing work, demonstrating why professional installation proves invaluable.

Kitchen fixtures present their own unique installation challenges. From standard faucets to commercial-grade spray systems, garbage disposals to instant hot water dispensers, each component must integrate seamlessly with your kitchen’s plumbing infrastructure. We frequently install touchless faucets that require both plumbing connections and electrical wiring for their sensor systems. Additionally, water filtration systems have become increasingly popular, requiring careful integration with existing supply lines while maintaining adequate water pressure throughout the home.

The Installation Process: What to Expect

Professional plumbing fixture installation begins with a comprehensive assessment of your existing plumbing system. We evaluate water pressure levels, pipe conditions, shut-off valve functionality, and drainage capacity to ensure your new fixtures will operate efficiently. This initial evaluation helps identify potential issues that could affect installation or future performance, such as corroded pipes, inadequate water pressure, or outdated connections that don’t meet current building codes.

During the actual installation, we follow a systematic approach that minimizes disruption to your daily routine. First, we shut off water supply to the affected area and properly drain existing lines. Old fixtures are carefully removed, and we inspect all connections for signs of wear or damage. Any necessary repairs or updates to supply lines, drain pipes, or shut-off valves are completed before installing new fixtures. We use high-quality materials including brass fittings, stainless steel supply lines, and proper sealing compounds to ensure leak-free connections that stand the test of time.

Benefits of Professional Installation

While DIY installation might seem cost-effective initially, professional installation offers numerous advantages that protect your investment and home.

  • Code Compliance: We ensure all installations meet Massachusetts plumbing codes and local Lexington regulations, preventing costly violations and ensuring your home passes inspection
  • Warranty Protection: Many manufacturers require professional installation to maintain warranty coverage, protecting your investment in quality fixtures
  • Proper Tools and Expertise: We utilize specialized tools and techniques that ensure precise installation without damaging fixtures or surrounding surfaces
  • Hidden Problem Detection: Our experienced technicians often identify underlying issues like pipe corrosion or inadequate venting that could cause future problems

Professional installation also provides peace of mind through proper testing and verification. We thoroughly test each fixture for leaks, proper drainage, appropriate water pressure, and correct operation of all features. This comprehensive approach prevents the frustration and expense of callbacks or emergency repairs that often result from improper installation.

Energy Efficiency and Water Conservation

Modern plumbing fixtures offer impressive water conservation features that significantly reduce utility costs while maintaining excellent performance. Low-flow toilets now use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared to older models consuming 3.5 gallons or more. Similarly, WaterSense-certified faucets and showerheads reduce water consumption by 20-30% without compromising user experience. We help homeowners select fixtures that balance conservation goals with performance expectations, ensuring satisfaction with every installation.

Beyond individual fixture efficiency, proper installation techniques maximize conservation benefits. Correctly sized supply lines, appropriate pressure regulation, and leak-free connections all contribute to optimal efficiency. We also educate homeowners about available rebate programs in Lexington and throughout Massachusetts that offset the cost of water-efficient fixture upgrades, making sustainable choices more affordable.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

Following installation, proper maintenance extends fixture life and maintains optimal performance. We provide detailed care instructions specific to each installed fixture, including cleaning recommendations, adjustment procedures, and signs indicating professional service needs. Many modern fixtures feature replaceable components like cartridges and aerators that require periodic maintenance to prevent mineral buildup and ensure smooth operation.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond installation day. Open seven days a week, we remain available for questions, warranty support, and future service needs. This ongoing support relationship ensures your plumbing fixtures continue delivering reliable performance year after year. We maintain detailed records of all installations, making future service calls more efficient and ensuring compatibility when adding or replacing fixtures.
