FAQs
What are the most common signs that I should replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Persistent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, leaking around the base, high water consumption, or frequent repairs are strong indicators it’s time for a new unit. If your toilet is more than 20 years old, upgrading to a modern high-efficiency model will often be more cost-effective than ongoing fixes.
Which cutting-edge toilet upgrades do you offer to homeowners in Talbott?
We install WaterSense-certified high-efficiency toilets (HETs), pressure-assisted models, dual-flush systems, touchless flush mechanisms, bidet-seat integrations, and comfort-height designs for improved accessibility. All selections meet or exceed Tennessee plumbing codes and are backed by manufacturer warranties.
How long does a typical professional toilet replacement take?
Most standard replacements are completed in 2–3 hours, including removal of the old fixture, inspection of the flange and supply line, installation of the new toilet, and a final leak and performance test. Complex upgrades—such as bidet seat wiring or flange repairs—may add an hour or two.
Will installing a high-efficiency toilet really reduce my water bill?
Yes. Traditional toilets use 3.5–7 gallons per flush, while WaterSense-labeled models use 1.28 gallons or less. For a family of four, that can translate to roughly 13,000 gallons saved per year—often trimming $90–$150 annually from your Talbott water bill.
Do you handle disposal of the old toilet and any required permits?
Absolutely. We haul away and recycle or responsibly dispose of your old unit at no extra charge. Talbott doesn’t generally require a permit for like-for-like toilet swaps, but if flange relocation or major drain work is needed, we secure the necessary local permits on your behalf.
What does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost, and what factors affect the price?
Basic replacements start around $350–$500, including a mid-range high-efficiency toilet and labor. Costs rise with premium features (bidet seats, smart controls), pressure-assisted models, or if flange repair, subfloor fixes, or supply-line upgrades are needed. We provide upfront, itemized quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
