FAQs
What types of toilet upgrades do you offer in Sunbright?
We install a full range of modern toilet options, including high-efficiency 1.28 gpf models, dual-flush systems, skirted designs for easier cleaning, comfort-height (ADA-compliant) bowls, smart toilets with bidet functions, and touch-free flush valves. If you’re looking for water savings, added comfort, or luxury features, our licensed plumbers can recommend and install the best model for your space and budget.
How can I tell whether my toilet should be replaced rather than repaired?
Replacement is typically recommended when your toilet has multiple cracks in the tank or bowl, recurring clogs caused by worn internal glazing, constant running that wastes water even after repairs, outdated 3.5 gpf or higher water usage, or visible porcelain deterioration. If repair costs approach 50 % of a new toilet’s price or the fixture is over 20 years old, upgrading usually saves money on future plumbing bills and water consumption.
What is the step-by-step process for a toilet replacement service?
1. Initial assessment: We inspect the existing toilet, shut-off valve, flange, and supply line, then provide an upfront written quote. 2. Removal: The old toilet is drained, unbolted, and hauled away for eco-friendly disposal or recycling. 3. Prep work: We clean the flange area, replace wax or rubber seals, and install new closet bolts. If the flange is damaged or too low, we repair or raise it. 4. Installation: The new toilet is carefully set, leveled, and secured. We connect a braided stainless supply line and test for leaks. 5. Final checks: Flush tests, caulking around the base (optional per customer preference), and a thorough cleanup. 6. Customer walkthrough: We explain care tips, operating features, and warranty details before leaving your bathroom spotless.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets worth the investment?
Yes. A standard 1.6 gpf toilet uses about 4,000 gallons per person per year. Switching to a 1.28 gpf high-efficiency or 0.8/1.28 gpf dual-flush model can cut that by up to 30–45 %, saving roughly $50–$80 annually on water bills for a family of four. Many Sunbright residents also receive Tennessee Valley Authority and local utility rebates of $25–$100 for WaterSense-certified fixtures, shortening payback time to less than three years while reducing your environmental footprint.
How long does a typical toilet installation take, and will my water be shut off?
A straightforward replacement generally takes 1.5–2 hours from arrival to cleanup. Your home’s main water supply does not need to be shut off; we close only the fixture’s angle stop valve. Water will be unavailable in that bathroom for about an hour during the change-out, but other fixtures in the house will continue to run normally.
Do you provide warranties or guarantees on toilet upgrades and replacements?
Absolutely. All labor is covered by our 2-year workmanship guarantee, which exceeds state requirements. Most brands we install—such as Kohler, Toto, and American Standard—carry 1-year to limited lifetime parts warranties. If you purchase the fixture through us, we handle all paperwork and act as your liaison for any future claims, ensuring stress-free protection of your investment.
