FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my older toilet to a modern, water-efficient model?
Older toilets can use 3–7 gallons of water per flush, while today’s high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use as little as 1.28 gallons—or even less with dual-flush technology. That translates into hundreds of dollars in annual water-and-sewer savings for the average Harriman household. Modern units are also quieter, less prone to clogging, include better-designed glazing to resist staining, and often feature comfort-height seating that makes standing and sitting easier for all ages.
What kinds of high-efficiency toilets do you install in Harriman?
We carry a full range of EPA WaterSense-certified models, including: • Dual-flush toilets (0.8 GPF for liquid waste / 1.28 GPF for solid waste) • Single-flush 1.28 GPF gravity toilets • Pressure-assisted toilets for commercial-grade flushing in residential bathrooms • One-piece skirted toilets that simplify cleaning and reduce leak points • Wall-hung or tankless designs for space-saving modern bathrooms • Smart toilets with integrated bidet seats, warm-water cleansing, and hands-free flushing. We’ll evaluate your rough-in, drain line size, and floor structure to recommend the best fit.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off all day?
Most straightforward replacements are completed in 2–3 hours. We shut off the house supply valve only long enough to drain the old tank—usually under 30 minutes. You’ll have full water service everywhere else once the new shut-off is in place. If flange repairs or subfloor work are needed, the job could extend to half a day, but we’ll explain any extra steps before we start.
Do I need a permit or inspection to replace a toilet in Harriman, and do you handle that paperwork?
For a like-for-like replacement—swapping one toilet for another in the same location—Harriman’s building department generally does not require a separate plumbing permit. However, if the project involves relocating the drain line, altering venting, or completing a full bathroom remodel, a permit and inspection are mandatory. Our licensed plumbers handle all code compliance, fill out the permit application, schedule inspections, and supply the approval paperwork when the job is done.
What does a modern toilet upgrade cost and are there rebates available?
Installed pricing in Harriman typically ranges from $575–$1,100 for a WaterSense gravity toilet and $1,200–$2,500 for pressure-assisted, wall-hung, or smart toilets. Costs depend on brand, flushing technology, seat features, and whether any flange or subfloor repairs are needed. Orange & Rockland Utilities and the NYSERDA program periodically offer $50–$100 rebates on qualifying high-efficiency models; we’ll help you complete the rebate paperwork so you get every available incentive.
What happens to my old toilet once it’s removed?
We never leave an old fixture on your curb. Porcelain bowls and tanks are transported to a specialized recycling facility where they are ground into aggregate for road bed and concrete products. Any metal hinges, bolts, and supply lines are separated for scrap recycling, and plastic seats are disposed of according to local solid-waste guidelines. You get a cleaner bathroom and the environment gets a second life for all those materials.
