FAQs
How do I know if my toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the bowl or tank, high water bills from constant running, and the need for repeated repairs are strong indicators that replacement is more cost-effective than another repair. During a service visit, our Palmer plumbing specialists will inspect flush performance, porcelain integrity, internal parts, and water-use efficiency to recommend the best course of action.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet (HET) in Palmer?
Modern HETs use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush—about 20-60 percent less water than most older models—so homeowners save on monthly water bills and help conserve local resources. They also feature advanced flush technology that reduces clogs, quieter operation, sleek designs that freshen bathroom aesthetics, and rebates from many Alaska utilities for WaterSense-certified units.
How long does a typical toilet replacement appointment take?
Most standard replacements are completed in 2–3 hours, including shut-off, removal of the old fixture, inspection of the flange and supply line, installation of the new toilet, leak testing, and cleanup. If subfloor or flange repairs are needed, the visit can extend to half a day. We always provide an estimated time frame before work begins.
Will my new toilet be compatible with Palmer’s plumbing codes and water pressure?
Yes. We stock and install toilets that comply with the 2021 UPC plumbing code adopted by the City of Palmer, including the 1.6 gpf maximum and WaterSense guidelines. Before installation, our technicians measure your home’s water pressure and rough-in distance to confirm the chosen model will operate reliably and fit perfectly without modifications.
Can you dispose of my old toilet in an environmentally friendly way?
Absolutely. We remove the old fixture at no additional charge and transport it to a local recycling center that crushes porcelain for use in roadbed aggregate. Metal hardware is separated for scrap recycling, and any remaining components are disposed of per Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation regulations.
How much does a toilet replacement cost and what does the price include?
Prices vary by model, but a typical standard-grade HET installation in Palmer ranges from $450-$750. This flat rate covers the new toilet, wax ring or modern PVC seal, supply line, labor, haul-away, and a one-year workmanship warranty. Premium comfort-height or smart toilets are higher but include manufacturer warranties and all labor. You’ll receive a written, upfront quote—no hidden fees.
