FAQs
What are the most popular toilet upgrade options available in Signal Mountain?
Homeowners in Signal Mountain most commonly choose high-efficiency 1.28-gpf toilets, comfort-height (ADA) models, skirted designs for easier cleaning, and smart bidet seats with heated water and air-dry features. We also install dual-flush systems that let you pick a 0.8-gallon or 1.28-gallon flush, helping reduce water use by up to 30 % without sacrificing performance.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
Once the new toilet is on-site, the actual removal of the old unit and installation of the new model usually takes 1½–2 hours. If you need flange repair, wax ring replacement, or minor subfloor work, plan on an additional 30–60 minutes. We schedule service windows that include arrival, clean-up, and haul-away, so your bathroom is fully functional the same day.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Signal Mountain?
In Hamilton County, a simple like-for-like toilet swap does not require a building permit as long as no plumbing lines are moved. However, if you relocate the drain, change venting, or add an electrical outlet for a smart toilet, the city may require a mechanical or electrical permit. Our team checks local codes and can pull any necessary permits on your behalf.
How much should I budget for a new toilet and professional installation?
Prices vary by style and features, but most standard two-piece toilets range from $250–$450 installed. Water-saving, skirted, or chair-height models run $450–$700, while smart bidet toilets can cost $1,000–$2,500. The quote we provide is all-inclusive: toilet, wax ring or seal, supply line, labor, haul-away, and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
What happens to my old toilet after it’s removed?
We haul away the old fixture at no additional charge. Porcelain is recycled whenever possible—crushed into aggregate for roadbeds or landscaping—and any metal hardware is taken to a scrap facility. If your toilet is vintage and in good condition, we can donate it to local Habitat for Humanity ReStore upon request.
How can a new toilet improve water efficiency and lower utility bills?
Older toilets from the 1980s–1990s often use 3.5–5 gallons per flush. Replacing them with today’s EPA WaterSense models that use 1.28 gallons—or dual-flush versions averaging 1.0 gallon—can save a family of four over 13,000 gallons of water yearly. At Signal Mountain’s average water and sewer rates, that’s roughly $120–$150 in annual savings, meaning most upgrades pay for themselves within three to five years.
