At CB Smith Plumbing, we understand that homes with character deserve upgrades that maintain their charm while delivering modern functionality. In this recent project, we were called to upgrade aging bathroom sink faucets in a historic Greer, SC residence. The homeowner wanted fixtures that complemented the home's vintage aesthetic while improving daily function and water efficiency.
Our team recommended period-appropriate styles from trusted brands that also offer modern performance. In addition to handling the faucet and fixture upgrades, we ensured all plumbing connections were brought up to current standards without disturbing the integrity of the original cabinetry and countertops.
Tailored Solutions for Historic Homes
Historic homes often present unique plumbing challenges, from outdated pipe materials to non-standard installation layouts. For this project, we carefully assessed the condition of the plumbing system before selecting and installing modern fixtures that blended seamlessly with the home’s interior design.
Key project highlights included:
- Replacing corroded and leaking faucet units
- Matching the new faucets to the home’s original brass and ceramic finishes
- Upgrading shut-off valves and supply lines for better reliability
- Ensuring ADA-compliant handles and low-flow aerators for improved usability and efficiency
Our client was thrilled to retain the home's timeless look while enjoying better water pressure and leak-free operation.
Why Upgrading Faucets Adds Value
Investing in new bathroom sink faucets does more than enhance style—it improves functionality, reduces water waste, and increases home value. In Greer’s historic neighborhoods, thoughtful plumbing upgrades like these show that a homeowner is committed to maintaining and improving their property responsibly.
By choosing high-efficiency fixtures, this homeowner is now conserving water and lowering monthly utility costs—a win for both sustainability and their wallet.
When to Repair vs. Replace Your Faucets and Fixtures
If you’re dealing with drips, low water pressure, or outdated designs, you may not need a full replacement right away. Timely faucet and fixture repairs can help:
- Reduce water bills by stopping slow leaks
- Improve water flow without full upgrades
- Extend the life of your current plumbing setup
- Avoid water damage from hidden leaks or faulty seals
Even small repairs can make a big impact. If your bathroom or kitchen fixtures aren’t working like they used to, let our team inspect them and recommend a repair or replacement plan that fits your needs and budget.
