FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading my old toilet in Blaine?
Modern high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared with older 3.5- to 5-gallon models. Besides cutting water bills by up to 60 %, today’s units offer quieter operation, powerful flush technology that reduces clogs, and sleek, easy-to-clean designs. Many models also come with comfort-height seating and soft-close lids, boosting accessibility and convenience.
How do I know whether I should repair or fully replace my current toilet?
A repair usually makes sense for isolated issues such as a worn flapper, minor fill-valve leaks, or a loose handle. Consider full replacement when you notice persistent clogging, cracks in the tank or bowl, porcelain pitting, rising water bills, or if the toilet was manufactured before 1994 (pre-1.6 gpf standards). Replacing can be more cost-effective long term because you’ll avoid repeat service calls and lower your water consumption immediately.
Are there any local rebates or incentives for installing a water-saving toilet in Blaine?
Yes. The City of Blaine and many Whatcom County utilities periodically offer rebates—typically $40–$100 per qualifying WaterSense-labeled toilet. We’ll help you confirm availability, complete paperwork, and supply proof of purchase so you can apply the same day the new unit is installed.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take, and will my bathroom be out of service?
Most standard replacements take 1.5–2 hours, including removal of the old toilet, setting the new wax ring, leveling, anchoring, testing for leaks, and hauling away debris. Your bathroom will be inaccessible only during that window, and we always protect flooring and clean up thoroughly before leaving.
Can I upgrade to a bidet or smart toilet, and what extra considerations are there?
Absolutely. Bidet seats can retrofit onto many existing toilets, while integrated smart toilets feature built-in bidet functions, heated seats, automatic flushing, and night lights. These units may require a nearby GFCI power outlet and, in some cases, a dedicated 120 V circuit. We’ll inspect your bathroom’s electrical capacity, provide outlet installation if needed, and review maintenance requirements such as filter changes.
What warranty and maintenance support do you provide after installation?
We back our workmanship with a 2-year labor warranty, and most manufacturers include a 1- to 10-year parts warranty. You’ll receive a maintenance guide covering periodic cleaning, water-supply inspection, and recommended flapper replacement intervals. Should any issues arise, our Blaine service team guarantees priority scheduling within 24 hours for warranty calls.
