FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, constantly running water, visible mineral build-up, and wobbling at the base are strong indicators that a replacement is more cost-effective than another repair. If your toilet is more than 20 years old, upgrading also brings it up to current plumbing codes and efficiency standards, helping you avoid future breakdowns.
What high-performance or water-saving toilets do you recommend for Flintville homes?
We typically install high-efficiency toilets (HETs) that use 1.28 gpf or less, dual-flush models for flexible water use, and pressure-assisted units for households that experience frequent clogs. Brands such as Kohler, TOTO, and American Standard offer reliable options. During the in-home consultation we measure your rough-in, discuss bowl height preferences, and match the model to Flintville’s water pressure and your family’s usage needs.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take, and what’s involved?
A standard replacement takes 1.5–2 hours. We shut off and drain the existing toilet, remove the fixture, inspect the flange and plumbing for damage, install or replace the wax or rubber seal, position and level the new toilet, reconnect the supply line, test for leaks, and haul away the old unit. If flange repairs or floor rot are found, we complete those fixes the same day, adding roughly 30–60 minutes.
Will upgrading my toilet really lower my water bill?
Yes. Older toilets often use 3.5–7 gallons per flush. Switching to a 1.28 gpf HET can reduce toilet water use by up to 60 percent, saving an average Flintville family of four about 13,000 gallons and $100–$150 per year on water and sewer fees. Dual-flush models can boost savings further by letting you choose a 0.8 gpf light flush when full power isn’t needed.
Do you take care of permits and old-toilet disposal in Flintville?
Absolutely. Flintville doesn’t require a separate plumbing permit for straight fixture swaps, but if a flange relocation or drain alteration is needed, we handle the paperwork with Lincoln County Codes on your behalf. We also remove and recycle or legally dispose of your old toilet at no extra charge, following state guidelines for porcelain recycling.
How much does a toilet upgrade cost and what factors affect the price?
Most complete replacements in Flintville range from $425 to $975, including the new fixture, parts, and labor. Price varies by toilet type (gravity-flush vs. pressure-assist), special features (integrated bidet, soft-close seat, skirted base), rough-in distance, and any subfloor or flange repairs required. We provide a written, itemized estimate after your free on-site evaluation so there are no surprises.
