Plumbing fixtures may be at the bottom of your list when it comes to plumbing maintenance, but these are an important feature that requires proper upkeep. Over time, these will start to show signs of wear and tear and would need to be replaced. If you are unsure if your fixtures are outdated or need replacing, JNR Plumbing, the top plumber in Norwalk, CT, shares some of the common signs to look for:

Decreased Functionality

Many types of fixtures tend to encounter problems after one or two decades. For fixtures with noisy flow, low pressure, or continual leaks despite being repaired, a newer and more updated version is probably the most economical application of time and resources. Consult your local plumbing company for help in finding the right fixtures for your home.

Outdated Aesthetic

This is especially true if your tastes have changed over time or if you’ve been looking for a reason to spend on a replacement that was never a favorite in the first place. A replaced fixture represents an investment in the home’s value. 

Limescale Buildup

In homes with hard water, plumbing fixtures are prone to magnesium and calcium deposits, called limescale, which not only tend to look unsightly but also negatively impact efficiency. A new fixture altogether will immediately help remedy efficiency problems. Schedule plumbing services with JNR Plumbing if you notice limescale buildup on your plumbing fixtures for a timely replacement.

Inefficient Design

Standards of water efficiency were different decades ago. Today, low-flow bathroom faucets or showerheads make a big difference in water consumption. Newer toilets also have the potential to use 1.5 instead of 7 gallons per flush, saving thousands of gallons per year. Upgrading your plumbing fixtures to newer and more efficient models can help you save up on bills.

Changing Plumbing Needs

A shower is fine for a house with one or two people, but for larger families, a replacement shower and bathtub arrangement is probably a good option to have for bath times. Understanding your family’s needs and replacing your plumbing fixtures as needed can help you prevent the need for frequent plumbing repairs.
