FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
If your toilet has chronic clogs, visible cracks in the tank or bowl, constantly running water, or requires frequent repairs, a replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued patch-ups. Older fixtures (20+ years) also consume far more water—up to 5–7 gpf compared with today’s 1.28 gpf high-efficiency models—so upgrading can cut water bills by 20–60 %. Our Pikeville technicians can inspect your unit, discuss repair vs. replacement costs, and give an honest recommendation.
What high-efficiency or eco-friendly toilet options do you install in Pikeville?
We stock and install WaterSense-certified 1.28 gpf gravity-flush toilets, dual-flush models (0.8/1.28 gpf), skirted one-piece units for easy cleaning, and pressure-assist toilets for commercial settings. If you want maximum savings, we can source ultra-high-efficiency 0.8–1.0 gpf models. All recommended brands—TOTO, Kohler, American Standard, Gerber—carry strong parts warranties and are proven to perform well with Pikeville’s water pressure and mineral content.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my bathroom be unusable?
A straightforward swap in the same location usually takes 1.5–2 hours, including removal of the old toilet, flange inspection, installing new wax or rubber rings, leveling the bowl, hooking up the supply, and post-installation testing. Your bathroom water supply is shut off only during this window. We schedule at your convenience, lay down protective drop cloths, and clean up thoroughly so you can use the new toilet immediately after we leave.
Can you match my existing bathroom décor and dimensions when upgrading my toilet?
Yes. Before installation we take precise measurements of rough-in distance, clearance around vanities, height preferences (standard vs. comfort height), and style—round vs. elongated, tank shape, color, and skirted or traditional base. We can special-order colors such as biscuit, almond, ice gray, or black to coordinate with tile and fixtures. If your bathroom is compact, we’ll suggest space-saving round-front or wall-hung models to ensure code-compliant clearance and comfortable use.
Do you handle the disposal of my old toilet and obtain any required permits?
Absolutely. We remove the old toilet, drain it to prevent spills, and transport it to an approved Pikeville recycling or disposal facility—at no extra cost. For remodels involving drain line relocation or new water supply lines, Pikeville City Building & Inspection may require a minor plumbing permit; we’ll pull paperwork, arrange inspections, and ensure the job passes all local codes so you don’t have to worry about red tape.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide on toilet installations?
All toilets we supply come with a manufacturer’s limited parts warranty (typically 1–10 years on mechanical parts and lifetime on vitreous china). Our craftsmanship is backed by a 2-year labor guarantee: if any installation-related leak, rocking, or flush issue occurs, we return and correct it at no charge. We also offer optional annual maintenance plans that include dye-tablet leak tests and flush-valve servicing to keep your new toilet performing like new.
