HEP’s Fixture Replacement Process

Detailed Assessment

A certified HEP plumber begins with a thorough inspection of existing fixtures, shut-off valves, and supply lines to identify underlying issues that might shorten the lifespan of new parts if left unchecked.

Precise Removal

Old fixtures are carefully disassembled, ensuring surrounding tile, countertops, and cabinetry remain unharmed. Water lines are depressurized and drained before any hardware is detached.

Professional Installation

• Industry-approved sealants and gaskets prevent post-installation leaks
• Dielectric unions are used when connecting dissimilar metals to mitigate corrosion
• Water-saving aerators and cartridges are fitted to comply with modern efficiency standards

Performance Verification

Each fixture is pressure-tested, flushed, and calibrated for optimal flow rates. Final adjustments guarantee smooth handle operation, silent shutdown, and balanced water temperature.
