FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet should be replaced instead of repaired?
Cracked porcelain (in the bowl or tank), recurring leaks around the base, constant running even after flapper and fill-valve replacements, frequent clogs requiring plunging several times a week, wobbling that tightening the floor bolts can’t fix, and noticeably higher water bills are all red flags. Any one of these can indicate that the fixture is at the end of its service life and a new, water-efficient model will be the most cost-effective solution.
What modern, water-saving toilet options do you install in Calhoun?
We carry EPA WaterSense®-certified single-flush toilets that use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, dual-flush units (typically 0.8 gpf for liquids / 1.28 gpf for solids), pressure-assisted models for commercial-grade flushing power, and skirted or wall-hung toilets for a sleeker look and easier cleaning. We’ll help you compare comfort-height bowls, glazed trapways, soft-close seats, bidet seats, and antimicrobial finishes to find the right fit for your space and budget.
How much does a toilet upgrade or replacement usually cost in Calhoun?
For most homes in Calhoun, expect $325–$650 for a standard WaterSense toilet with professional installation. High-end smart toilets or wall-mounted units can run $900–$2,500 installed. Pricing varies with the fixture brand, any flooring or flange repairs, and whether a shut-off valve or supply line needs updating. We provide a no-obligation written quote after an on-site assessment so you know the exact cost before work begins.
How long will the replacement take and will my water be shut off all day?
A straightforward, like-for-like toilet swap normally takes 90 minutes to 3 hours. Water is typically shut off only to the bathroom’s supply line for about 20–30 minutes while the old toilet is removed and the new one is set. If we discover subfloor damage or need to rebuild the closet flange, we’ll advise you right away and let you know the revised timeline.
Do I need a building permit in Calhoun to replace a toilet?
For most residential, like-for-like replacements, the City of Calhoun Building Department does not require a permit. However, a permit may be needed if the work involves relocating the drain line, adding a new shut-off, or altering structural elements. As a licensed Georgia plumbing contractor, we’ll handle any permit paperwork when it’s required so you stay fully compliant with local codes.
How should I prepare my bathroom before the plumber arrives?
Clear a pathway from the entrance to the bathroom and remove rugs, trash cans, or decorative items around the toilet. If possible, shut off the toilet’s angle stop and flush once to drain most of the tank water. Have a nearby outlet available if you’re upgrading to an electronic bidet or smart toilet. Finally, plan to keep pets and kids out of the work zone for safety. We bring floor protection and haul away the old toilet for responsible disposal.
