FAQs
What are the signs that my toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Common signs that your toilet may need to be replaced include frequent clogging, cracks in the porcelain, constant running water, inefficient flushing, and excessive water usage. If you're experiencing any of these issues, it might be more cost-effective and efficient to replace the toilet rather than continuing with repairs.
How do I choose the right toilet for my home?
When selecting a new toilet, consider factors such as water efficiency, bowl shape (round vs. elongated), height (standard vs. comfort height), flushing system (gravity-fed vs. pressure-assisted), and design style. Additionally, make sure the toilet fits the rough-in measurement of your bathroom, which is the distance from the wall to the center of the toilet flange.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet (HET)?
High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use significantly less water per flush compared to older models, saving you money on water bills and conserving water resources. They are designed to provide powerful flushing performance with less water, helping to minimize clogs and maintain cleanliness. Additionally, many HETs qualify for rebates or incentives from local water authorities.
Can you install a toilet that will help save water and reduce water bills?
Yes, we can install high-efficiency toilets (HETs) and dual-flush toilets that use less water per flush. These toilets are designed to reduce water usage, helping you save on your water bills while also being environmentally friendly. Many modern toilets also come with features like powerful flushing mechanisms that ensure efficient waste removal with less water.
How long does it typically take to replace a toilet?
Replacing a toilet usually takes around 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and any unexpected issues, such as the condition of the plumbing or flooring. Our professional plumbers will ensure the job is done efficiently and correctly, minimizing disruption to your home.
What should I do to maintain my new toilet and prolong its life?
To maintain your new toilet and ensure its longevity, regularly clean it with non-abrasive cleaners, check for any leaks, and avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper. Periodically inspect the tank components, such as the flapper and fill valve, and replace them if worn or damaged. Keeping the area around the toilet dry and clean can also help prevent issues like mold and mildew.
