FAQs
What are the most common signs that I should replace my toilet rather than repair it?
Frequent clogging, visible cracks in the bowl or tank, recurring leaks, a toilet that rocks at the base, dated 3.5-gpf or higher water usage, and consistently high water bills are indicators that replacement is more cost-effective than continued repairs. If your toilet is over 20 years old, new parts may be hard to find, and upgrading to a modern WaterSense model will save water and lower utility costs in Blaine.
What upgrade options do you offer for toilets in Blaine homes?
We install single-flush, dual-flush, pressure-assisted, and smart bidet toilets. Features can include chair-height bowls for accessibility, soft-close seats, touch-free flush sensors, built-in bidets with warm-water wash, nightlights, and automatic bowl-cleaning technology. All models we recommend meet or exceed Minnesota’s plumbing code and EPA WaterSense standards of 1.28 gpf or less, helping you conserve water without sacrificing performance.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most standard replacements are completed in 1.5 to 2 hours. We shut off the water supply only to the toilet, so the rest of your plumbing continues to operate. If we discover flange damage, subfloor rot, or need to move the supply line, the job can extend to 3-4 hours. We’ll always inform you of any findings before proceeding.
Do you handle removal of the old toilet and any required permits in Blaine?
Yes. We disconnect, drain, and haul away the old fixture, then dispose of it in accordance with Anoka County recycling guidelines. For straightforward replacements, Blaine doesn’t require a separate plumbing permit, but if we relocate the toilet, modify drain lines, or alter the vent stack, we will obtain the necessary permits and schedule any required city inspections on your behalf.
What does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost, and what factors influence the price?
In Blaine, a basic like-for-like replacement with a quality WaterSense toilet starts around $525, including labor, standard wax ring, bolts, and haul-away. Prices rise with premium features (wall-hung models, bidet seats, touchless flush), plumbing modifications, flooring repairs, or flange replacements. We provide an exact, upfront quote after an on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
Are there water-saving or rebate-eligible toilets you can recommend?
Absolutely. Blaine residents served by city water may qualify for municipal or utility rebates when installing EPA WaterSense-labeled models that use 1.28 gpf or less, or dual-flush toilets averaging 1.1 gpf. We keep an up-to-date list of rebate-eligible brands and models from Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Niagara. We supply the documentation you’ll need to submit for the rebate and can even assist with the paperwork if requested.
