FAQs
What are the signs that my toilet needs an upgrade or replacement?
Signs that your toilet may need an upgrade or replacement include constant clogging, frequent leaks, cracks in the tank or bowl, inefficient flushing, and higher water bills due to inefficient water use. Additionally, if your toilet is over 20 years old, modern options can offer better water efficiency and reliability.
How long does it take to replace a toilet?
On average, replacing a toilet takes about 2 to 3 hours. This includes removing the old toilet, preparing the area, installing the new toilet, and ensuring all connections are secure and leaks tested. However, complexities such as plumbing modifications might add extra time.
What should I consider when choosing a new toilet?
Key factors to consider include the toilet's water efficiency, flush performance, style (one-piece vs. two-piece), bowl shape (round vs. elongated), height, and any additional features like dual-flush mechanisms or bidet functionalities. Also, consider your bathroom’s layout and plumbing specifics.
Will a new toilet really save on water bills?
Yes, modern toilets are designed to be more water-efficient, using as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared to older models that might use up to 3.5 gallons. This can lead to significant savings on your water bill, especially in a larger household.
Is it possible to repair my old toilet instead of replacing it?
In some cases, repairs such as replacing a flapper, fixing a leak, or unclogging can extend the life of your toilet. However, if the toilet is constantly needing repairs or is very old, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run, offering better performance and efficiency.
Do I need a professional to replace my toilet?
While some DIY enthusiasts may attempt to replace a toilet, having a professional ensures proper installation, adherence to local plumbing codes, and avoids potential issues like improper sealing or leaks. Professionals also dispose of the old unit and check for underlying plumbing issues.
