FAQs
What modern toilet upgrade options do you offer in Signal Mountain?
We install a full range of contemporary toilets—including pressure-assisted models, dual-flush units, smart bidet toilets with heated seats and self-cleaning functions, skirted one-piece designs for easy cleaning, and ADA-height comfort toilets. Our technicians will walk you through flushing technologies, bowl shapes, rough-in sizes, and smart-home integrations so you can choose a model that meets your water-saving, aesthetic, and accessibility goals.
How can I tell if my existing toilet should be repaired or completely replaced?
Replacement is recommended when your toilet shows chronic problems such as hairline cracks in the bowl or tank, frequent clogging despite proper use, wobbling due to flange deterioration, visible porcelain staining from long-term mineral buildup, or if it was manufactured before 1994 and uses more than 3.5 gallons per flush. A quick in-home assessment lets us determine whether a simple valve, seal, or handle repair will suffice or if a new unit is the more cost-effective long-term answer.
What advantages do high-efficiency and WaterSense-certified toilets provide?
High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons per flush or less—cutting water consumption by up to 60 % compared with older 3.5–7 gpf toilets. That can save a Signal Mountain household 13,000 gallons of water and roughly $140 per year on utility bills. They also reduce strain on septic systems, qualify for some local rebates, and incorporate advanced glazing that keeps the bowl cleaner, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and scrubbing.
How long does a professional toilet replacement normally take?
Most standard replacements—including shutoff valve inspection, flange adjustment, wax seal installation, and haul-away of the old toilet—take 1.5 to 2 hours once we’re on site. Smart toilets that require electrical outlets or bidet seat wiring can add 30-60 minutes. If subfloor repairs or flange rebuilding are required, we’ll discuss the revised timeline before work begins, but 90 % of jobs are completed in a single visit.
Will you handle permits, disposal, and clean-up after the job?
Yes. While residential toilet swaps in Hamilton County usually don’t require a permit, we verify local code changes for each project. We responsibly dispose of your old toilet at an approved recycling facility, clean the work area, sanitize floor surfaces, and test the new unit multiple times before leaving. Our trucks are stocked with drop cloths, shoe covers, and HEPA vacuums to keep your bathroom spotless.
What price range should I expect for a toilet upgrade or replacement?
For a straightforward swap using a quality WaterSense two-piece toilet, total cost—including materials, labor, wax ring, new supply line, and disposal—averages $550–$750. Mid-range skirted or one-piece models run $800–$1,200 installed. Smart toilets with bidet functions start around $1,600 and can exceed $3,000 depending on features. Factors influencing price include rough-in distance changes, flange repairs, shutoff valve replacement, and any electrical work needed for power-assisted or smart units. We provide firm, upfront quotes after an on-site inspection, and we offer financing options for larger upgrades.
