How Much Does Drinking Fountain Repair Cost in Murfreesboro, TN?
Drinking fountain repair in Murfreesboro, TN costs anywhere from $118 to $427 on average for one fountain with a common fault like a leak, weak flow, or a failed valve. The price depends on which part failed, whether the unit is refrigerated, the brand and model, access to the supply line and drain, and how many fountains need work.
Do You Repair Drinking Fountains in Schools, Offices, and Homes?
Yes, we repair drinking fountains and bottle fillers in schools, offices, gyms, churches, parks, apartment buildings, and homes.
Do You Service My Area?
Yes, in most cases. Send us the address and we'll confirm we cover it.
Can You Repair Our Fountains Outside School or Business Hours?
Yes, in many cases we can come early, in the evening, or on a weekend so the water can be shut off while the building is quiet.
How Soon Can You Fix a Broken Drinking Fountain?
We schedule fountain repairs as soon as we can and move an actively leaking unit up the list. If your model needs a part we have to order, the fix may wait on shipping.
What Information Do You Need When I Request a Repair?
We need the brand and model number, what the fountain is doing, whether it's refrigerated or has a bottle filler, and how many units are affected. A photo of the model label helps.
Will I Need to Be There During the Repair?
No, as long as we can get to the fountain and its shutoff valve. In a school or office, someone usually just lets us in and signs off when we're done.
Can a Property Manager or Facilities Staff Arrange the Repair?
Yes, we work with facilities managers, custodians, and property managers all the time. If you rent the space, check with the landlord first, since the fountain usually belongs to them.
Can I Get a Price Before the Repair Begins?
Yes, we diagnose the fountain and confirm the price before we replace anything. If we find a second problem once the panel is off, we talk to you before going further.
How Long Does a Drinking Fountain Repair Take?
Most repairs are done in one visit of an hour or two. Swapping a solenoid, button, or bubbler is quick, while refrigeration work or a part we have to order takes longer.
Can You Fix a Drinking Fountain That Won't Dispense Any Water?
Yes, we fix fountains with no flow. The usual causes are a closed shutoff valve, a failed regulator or solenoid, a clogged strainer, a kinked internal line, or no power on electric models.
Can You Fix a Drinking Fountain With Low Water Pressure?
Yes, a weak stream usually comes from a clogged strainer screen or filter, a partly closed shutoff valve, a worn regulator, or a solenoid that won't fully open.
Can You Fix a Leaking Drinking Fountain?
Yes, we trace leaks to the fitting, tubing, washer, or drain trap that's failing and replace it.
Can You Fix a Drinking Fountain That Isn't Cold Anymore?
Yes, we repair refrigerated fountains that stop chilling. Common causes are dust on the condenser, a bad relay or cold control, a failed fan motor, a refrigerant leak, or a worn-out compressor.
Can You Fix a Bottle Filler That Isn't Working?
Yes, we repair bottle fillers that won't turn on or fill. The sensor works separately from the bubbler, so we check the lens, sensitivity setting, wiring, solenoid, and control board.
What Does the Red Filter Light on a Bottle Filler Mean?
It means the filter needs changing. We swap it and reset the light to green.
Can You Fix a Drinking Fountain That Won't Stop Running?
Yes, on electric models it's usually a bad solenoid or a stuck press bar holding the switch down. On push-button models it's usually the valve and regulator.
Can You Replace the Filter on Our Bottle Filling Station?
Yes, we replace filters and reset the filter status light. Most Elkay filters are rated for about 3,000 gallons, so busy units need them more often than quiet ones.
Can You Lower a Drinking Fountain Stream That Shoots Too High?
Yes, we adjust the regulator so the stream arcs into the basin instead of onto the floor. If it's still too high, we check for a partly closed valve or a dirty bubbler.
Do You Repair Elkay, Halsey Taylor, Oasis, and Haws Fountains?
Yes, we work on Elkay, Halsey Taylor, Oasis, Haws, Murdock, and other common commercial brands. Send us the model number so we can check parts before the visit.
Can You Fix a Drinking Fountain That Hums, Buzzes, or Clicks?
Yes, a soft hum from the compressor is normal, but loud buzzing usually means loose bolts or a vibrating solenoid, and clicking often points to the relay. Tell us when the noise happens.
Can You Fix Water That Tastes or Smells Bad From a Fountain?
Yes, in most cases. We change the filter, clean and sanitize the unit, and check the supply connection. If several fountains in the building taste off, the water itself should be tested.
Can You Fix a Drinking Fountain Basin That Won't Drain?
Yes, we clear clogged drains and replace hardened drain traps. Hair, dirt, and debris are the usual cause, and a misaligned spout can also make water spill over.
Can You Replace a Stuck or Hard-to-Press Push Button?
Yes, we replace push buttons, press bars, and the switches behind them. ADA rules call for controls that work with one hand and no more than 5 pounds of force.
When Should We Replace a Drinking Fountain Instead of Repairing It?
We'd usually replace it when the cooling system has failed, the unit keeps breaking down, or the water quality won't stay right. A bad valve, button, sensor, filter, or leak is worth repairing.
How Often Should a Drinking Fountain Be Serviced?
Busy fountains should be cleaned and checked every three to six months, and refrigerated units need their condenser coils vacuumed at least once a year. We can set up regular visits for a whole building.
Can You Repair an Elkay EZH2O Bottle Filling Station?
Yes, EZH2O sensors, solenoids, control boards, filters, and chillers are all parts we replace.
Can We Use a Generic Filter Instead of an Elkay Filter?
Yes, if it's made for your model, but generic filters can fit poorly and may affect the warranty. Tell us the model number and we'll match the right filter.
Can You Add a Bottle Filler to Our Existing Drinking Fountain?
Yes, retrofit bottle fillers fit many existing fountains. Touchless models need power, so tell us your fountain's model and whether there's an outlet behind it.
Can You Repair a Touchless Sensor Drinking Fountain?
Yes, hands-free fountains are a common repair, usually a sensor, solenoid, or control board.
Can You Repair a Hi-Lo Drinking Fountain?
Yes, we repair bi-level fountains. Tell us which side is giving you trouble.
Can You Repair an Outdoor or Pedestal Drinking Fountain?
Yes, we repair outdoor wall-mounted and pedestal fountains in parks, trails, sports fields, and playgrounds. Tell us whether the unit has power and whether it's a frost-resistant model.
Can You Repair a Frost-Resistant Outdoor Fountain?
Yes, we repair frost-resistant fountains. Their valve sits below the frost line, so a short delay before water comes out is normal, but a long delay or no water means a repair.
Can You Fix a Drinking Fountain That Froze?
Yes, once it has thawed we check for split lines, cracked fittings, and damaged valves. Shut off the water and unplug the unit, and never use an open flame to thaw it.
Can You Fix a Wall-Mounted Fountain That's Loose or Wobbly?
Yes, we re-secure loose fountains to their mounting plate or in-wall carrier. Don't let anyone lean on it until it's fixed, since a pulled-out unit can break the supply line.
Can You Repair a Vandalized Drinking Fountain?
Yes, we replace broken bubblers, buttons, panels, and drains, and re-secure units that have been pulled loose. Photos of the damage help us bring the right parts.
Can You Replace a Fountain That Tested High for Lead?
Yes, we can remove an older fountain or cooler and install a current model. Pipes are often the main source of lead, though, so have the water retested after the swap.
Can You Bring an Older Drinking Fountain Up to ADA Standards?
Yes, in most cases we replace it with a compliant unit or a hi-lo pair. A replacement fountain generally has to meet current ADA rules, and your local authority has the final say.
Can You Repair a Fountain That's Still Under Warranty?
Yes, but check first. A warranty claim may need to go through the manufacturer's service network, so tell us the model and install date and we'll confirm the right route.
Should I Shut Off the Water to a Leaking Fountain?
Yes, close the shutoff valve feeding the unit and unplug it if it's refrigerated. Put a towel down and leave the panels on until we arrive.
Is Warm Water Normal From a Non-Refrigerated Fountain?
Yes, a non-refrigerated fountain delivers water at whatever temperature the pipes do. Running it briefly clears water that has sat warming in the line.
Can You Winterize an Outdoor Drinking Fountain?
Yes, we shut off and drain outdoor fountains before freezing weather and take out the filter. We can bring them back into service in spring.
Can I Repair a Drinking Fountain Myself?
Yes, for simple tasks like cleaning, changing the filter, and wiping the sensor. Solenoids, regulators, wiring, and refrigeration should be left to us, and refrigerant work requires an EPA-certified technician.
Is It Worth Fixing a Fountain With a Bad Compressor?
Yes, in some cases on a newer unit. A compressor is one of the costliest repairs, so on an older cooler we'll price the repair and a replacement side by side.
Will You Test the Fountain Before You Leave?
Yes, we check for leaks, set the stream height, and confirm refrigerated units are chilling.
