FAQs
How can I tell if my toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Several warning signs point to replacement: hairline or visible cracks in the bowl or tank, recurring clogs even after snaking, constant running or refilling that drives up your City of Oneida water bill, wobbling caused by a deteriorated flange, and older 3.5-gallon-per-flush (gpf) models that waste water. If multiple internal components such as the fill valve, flush valve, and flapper are all failing, the cost of parts and labor will often exceed the price of installing a modern, high-efficiency unit.
What high-efficiency or specialty toilets do you install?
We carry WaterSense-certified toilets in several styles: (1) standard gravity-fed 1.28 gpf models, (2) dual-flush toilets that let you choose 0.9 gpf for liquids or 1.6 gpf for solids, (3) pressure-assisted units that use 1.0 gpf yet deliver a powerful flush suited to larger households, (4) ultra-high-efficiency 0.8 gpf systems, and (5) ADA-compliant comfort-height and skirted designs for easier cleaning and accessibility. All options are available in 10", 12", and 14" rough-ins so we can match your existing plumbing without major remodeling.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a water-saving toilet in Oneida?
Yes. Many WaterSense-labeled toilets qualify for utility or state incentives. The New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation periodically offers $50–$100 rebates on 1.28 gpf or lower fixtures, and the Oneida City Water Department has run seasonal bill-credit programs when funding is available. We’ll help you select an eligible model, complete the paperwork, and supply proof of purchase so you can claim the rebate quickly.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
For a straightforward, like-for-like swap, our licensed plumbers can shut off the water, drain and remove the old unit, install the new wax ring, set and level the toilet, connect the supply line, and test for leaks in about 1½ to 3 hours. If the floor flange is damaged, the shut-off valve is corroded, or the subfloor shows water rot, add another 1–2 hours for repairs, all of which we’ll explain before starting work.
Will you handle disposal of the old toilet and any required permits?
Absolutely. We remove the old fixture, separate metal and plastic parts for recycling, and deliver porcelain to the Madison County sustainability center, keeping debris out of landfills. A straight replacement doesn’t require a City of Oneida building permit, but if you’re relocating the drain or altering structural elements we’ll file the proper permits and schedule inspections on your behalf.
What does a toilet upgrade cost and what affects the price?
In Oneida, a standard replacement—including a quality WaterSense toilet, wax ring, new bolts, supply line, labor, and disposal—typically runs $350–$950. Variables that raise or lower the price include: the toilet model (basic two-piece vs. pressure-assisted or smart bidet), rough-in distance other than 12", flange or subfloor repair, replacement of the shut-off valve, and decorative options like slow-close seats or skirted bases.
