FAQs
How do I know if I should repair or replace my current toilet?
Frequent clogs, visible cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running, or wobbling at the base are all signs that replacement is the smarter long-term choice. Toilets manufactured before 1994 also use far more water than modern models, so even if yours still functions, upgrading can cut your water bill by 20–60 %. During our free on-site evaluation in Allardt, we inspect the fixture, test internal parts, and measure flush volume to help you decide whether a repair or a full replacement will save you more money over time.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency or dual-flush toilet?
High-efficiency (HET) and dual-flush toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, compared with the old 3.5-gallon standard. That means an average Allardt household can save up to 13,000 gallons of water a year. Many models feature advanced glazing and powerful siphon jets that reduce staining and the need for harsh chemicals. Tennessee currently offers utility rebates for WaterSense-labeled fixtures, so the initial cost is often offset within two years through lower water bills and possible rebate checks.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most standard replacements take 1½ to 2 hours from shutdown to final test flush. We shut off only the supply valve to the affected bathroom, so the rest of your home’s water stays on. If flange repair or floor leveling is needed, we let you know up front and the job may extend to half a day. You’ll always get a precise timeline before we begin work so you can plan around it.
Do I need to supply the new toilet, or can you provide recommendations and purchase it for me?
Either option works. Many customers prefer that we handle the entire process: we measure your rough-in, discuss height and style preferences, present WaterSense-certified models that fit your budget, and pick up the fixture for you. If you’ve already bought a toilet, we’re happy to install it as long as it meets local code. In both cases we bring all wax rings, bolts, supply lines, and disposal bags for the old unit.
Are permits required to replace a toilet in Allardt, and will you handle the paperwork?
For a straightforward like-for-like toilet swap, the City of Allardt does not require a building permit. If the project involves relocating the drain line, altering the vent stack, or cutting into structural flooring, the Fentress County Building Office may ask for a plumbing permit and inspection. Our team stays current on local codes; if a permit is necessary, we’ll complete the application, schedule the inspection, and include the fee in your written estimate.
What kind of warranty do you offer on toilet installations and the fixtures you supply?
Our workmanship is covered by a 2-year labor warranty, meaning if any leaks or installation-related issues arise we’ll fix them at no cost. Fixtures we supply are covered by the manufacturer’s parts warranty—typically 5 to 10 years on the porcelain and 1 year on moving components such as fill valves. We register all warranties on your behalf and leave you with documentation so you have full peace of mind.
