FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogging, visible cracks, recurring leaks at the base or tank, constantly running water, or a toilet manufactured before 1994 (pre–low-flow standards) are strong indicators that replacement is the smarter long-term choice. Upgrading eliminates persistent problems, lowers water bills, and brings the fixture up to current Harriman plumbing codes.
What kinds of modern or high-efficiency toilets can your Harriman team install?
We install standard two-piece models, one-piece compact units, skirted designs, chair-height ADA-compliant toilets, pressure-assisted units for commercial settings, dual-flush models, and ultra-high-efficiency 1.0 gpf or 0.8 gpf fixtures. If you are interested in smart toilets with integrated bidet seats, heated options, or touchless flush valves, we handle those as well and ensure compatibility with your home’s water pressure and drain line.
How long will a toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off during the work?
A straightforward replacement generally takes 1.5–2 hours from shutdown to cleanup. We isolate only the bathroom supply line, so the rest of your home keeps running water. If we discover flange damage, subfloor rot, or the need to move the drain, time can extend to half a day. We always discuss unforeseen issues with you before proceeding.
Do you handle removal of the old toilet and any necessary permits in Harriman?
Yes. Our plumbers disconnect, drain, and remove the old unit, protecting floors as we work. We transport the old porcelain to an approved recycling or disposal facility. For rentals or commercial spaces, we obtain any required City of Harriman or Roane County permits and schedule inspections when code dictates.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a water-saving toilet in Harriman?
Yes. Tennessee American Water periodically runs $50–$100 rebates for EPA WaterSense-certified toilets. Harriman Utility Board also offers bill credits for fixtures using 1.28 gpf or less. We’ll supply model numbers and assist with the paperwork, ensuring you get the maximum available incentive.
What does a toilet upgrade cost and what factors affect the price?
Typical residential replacements in Harriman range from $475 to $1,200, which includes the new toilet, wax ring or seal, flange bolts, labor, haul-away, and a one-year workmanship warranty. Costs rise with premium features (smart bidet seats, pressure assist, custom colors), structural repairs to the flange or subfloor, or relocation of the drain and supply lines. We provide a written, no-surprise estimate before any work begins.
