FAQs
What are the most common reasons Harriman homeowners decide to upgrade or replace a toilet?
Clients typically contact us when they experience chronic clogs, visible cracks or leaks around the base, constantly running water that inflates utility bills, or staining that no amount of cleaning can remove. Many Harriman homes also still have 3.5–5-gallon‐per‐flush models from the 1980s and 1990s; replacing them with today’s 1.0–1.28-gallon high-efficiency toilets saves up to 16,000 gallons of water per year. Aesthetic updates during bathroom remodels and the desire for comfort-height bowls or bidet features are other frequent motivators.
What types of toilets do you install, and how do they improve performance and water conservation?
We stock and install a full spectrum of WaterSense-certified toilets, including single-flush HETs (high-efficiency toilets), dual-flush models that let you choose 0.8 gpf or 1.28 gpf, pressure-assisted units for exceptional flushing power, and smart toilets with integrated bidet seats, night lights, and self-cleaning functions. Every model we recommend carries at least a 30 % water-use reduction compared with older 1.6 gpf fixtures, and many come with glazed trapways and wider 2 ⅛-inch flush valves that drastically cut clog risk. We are happy to walk you through pros, cons, and long-term savings during a free onsite consultation.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take, and will I be without a bathroom all day?
A straightforward swap—removing the old unit, inspecting and cleaning the flange, installing a new wax or neoprene seal, setting the toilet, leveling it, and reconnecting supply—usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours. If we encounter flange damage, deteriorated shut-off valves, or flooring issues, we keep extra parts on the truck to address them the same visit, rarely extending the job past half a day. Because we isolate the water shut-off at the fixture, the rest of your home keeps full water service, and you can resume bathroom use immediately after we finish our pressure and leak checks.
Do you take care of removing the old toilet and cleaning up after installation?
Yes. Meticulous craftsmanship extends to cleanup. We protect floors with drop cloths, drain and cap the old tank and bowl, remove the unit without dripping, and haul it away to an approved recycling center or disposal facility—at no extra charge. After the new toilet is tested, we sanitize the work area, mop or vacuum any debris, and re-caulk around the base for a showroom-ready finish.
What will a toilet upgrade cost, and can I get an upfront, itemized quote?
Prices vary with the toilet style, rough-in size, and any sub-floor or flange repairs, but most standard replacements—including supply line, seal, and labor—run $425–$725. Premium smart toilets or wall-hung carrier systems can range from $1,200 to $3,500 installed. We provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down fixture cost, materials, and labor before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Financing and manufacturer rebates on WaterSense models are available for qualifying customers.
Is your workmanship guaranteed, and what warranties cover my new toilet?
Absolutely. Our Harriman plumbing company is fully licensed and insured, and every installation comes with a 2-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks, rocking, or seal failures. The toilets we supply carry manufacturer warranties of 5 years on mechanical parts and limited lifetime coverage on vitreous china. Should any issue arise, call us and we will handle the warranty claim and service visit at no labor cost within the coverage period.
