FAQs
What are the most common signs that I should replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogs, visible cracks in the bowl or tank, constantly running water, wobbling at the base, or outdated 3.5-gallon-per-flush models are red flags. If you’re calling for repairs more than once a year or your water bill keeps creeping up, a replacement usually saves money in the long run. Our Caryville technicians can inspect the fixture and give you an honest assessment on repair vs. replacement costs.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets really worth the investment?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency (HET) and dual-flush toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less—up to 60 % less water than many older units. In Caryville, that translates to about 13,000 gallons of water saved per household each year, cutting utility bills and helping the local water-supply system. North Carolina building codes encourage these fixtures, and many utility companies offer rebates, which we’ll help you file for.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take in a typical Caryville home?
Most standard replacements are completed within two to three hours, including removal of the old unit, inspection of the flange and supply line, installation of the new toilet, and a full performance test. If we discover subfloor damage or need to move plumbing lines for a major upgrade, the job can extend to a half-day. We’ll give you a precise timeline before any work begins.
Will you handle local permits and make sure the installation meets Caryville plumbing codes?
Absolutely. Caryville follows the 2018 North Carolina Plumbing Code, and some bathroom remodels require permits—especially if you relocate fixtures or alter drain lines. Our licensed plumbers pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections when required, and provide documentation for your records. This safeguards your home’s value and ensures manufacturer warranties remain valid.
Can you upgrade my bathroom for improved accessibility or comfort?
Yes. We install comfort-height (ADA) toilets, wall-hung models for wheelchair clearance, bidet seats, soft-close lids, and touchless flush valves. We’ll measure your existing rough-in, recommend options that fit your space and mobility needs, and ensure grab-bar clearances meet ADA guidelines. Many Caryville homeowners combine a toilet upgrade with other accessibility improvements to maximize long-term independence.
What should I do to prepare for the plumber’s visit, and will my water service be interrupted?
Clear a pathway to the bathroom and remove items around the toilet. Turn off any decorative water features that share the same shut-off valve. We’ll need to shut the water to the toilet for about an hour; other fixtures in your home should remain usable. After installation, we’ll disinfect the workspace, dispose of the old toilet responsibly, and provide maintenance tips before we leave.
