FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my toilet instead of repairing the old one?
Modern toilets are designed to use significantly less water—often 1.28 gallons per flush or less—while providing stronger flushing power. Upgrading can cut water bills by up to 30 %, reduce the likelihood of leaks, and allow you to add comfort features like soft-close seats or bidet functions. If your current toilet is over 15 years old, constantly needs repairs, or shows cracking porcelain, replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take in Ten Mile?
For most standard installations, our licensed plumbers can remove the old toilet, inspect and prepare the flange, install the new unit, and test for leaks in about two to three hours. If subfloor repairs, flange replacements, or drain re-alignments are needed, the job can extend to half a day. We provide a time estimate after our on-site assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
What kinds of toilets are best for water conservation?
High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) and dual-flush models are ideal. HETs use 1.28 gpf or less, while dual-flush toilets let you choose between a 0.8–1.1 gpf "light" flush and a 1.28–1.6 gpf "full" flush. All models we install carry the EPA WaterSense label, guaranteeing at least 20 % less water use than the current federal standard without sacrificing performance.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Ten Mile?
For a straightforward swap—removing an old toilet and installing a new one on the existing rough-in—no municipal permit is typically required. However, if the work involves relocating the toilet, altering drain lines, or structural floor repairs, McMinn and Meigs County building codes may require a plumbing permit and inspection. Our team handles all permitting questions and paperwork for you.
What is included in your toilet upgrade service?
Our comprehensive service covers: • Removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old toilet • Inspection and cleaning of the flange and drain opening • Replacement of the wax ring or installation of a no-wax seal • Supply line upgrade to braided stainless steel • Leveling, caulking, and leak testing • Haul-away of debris and a full workspace cleanup. Optional add-ons include bidet seat installation, shut-off valve replacement, and water-quality testing.
How much does a new toilet installation cost in the Ten Mile area?
Costs vary with the toilet style, rough-in distance, and any subfloor or flange repairs. On average, homeowners in Ten Mile spend $225–$375 for labor, plus $200–$600 for a quality mid-range toilet. High-end smart or comfort-height models can push the total to $1,000 or more. We provide a written, upfront quote after evaluating your bathroom so you can choose the option that fits your budget.
