FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading or replacing my toilet in Crossville?
Older toilets can use 3–5 gallons per flush, run constantly, and develop hidden leaks that drive up utility bills. Modern WaterSense-certified models use as little as 1.28 gallons while flushing better, so most homes see water-usage drops of 20–60 %. A new unit also reduces the risk of floor and sub-floor damage from chronic seepage, prevents expensive emergency calls, and raises the resale value of your Crossville property—making it a lasting investment rather than just a quick repair.
What types of high-efficiency toilets do you install, and how much water can they save?
We offer gravity-flush, pressure-assisted, dual-flush, and skirted one-piece designs from leading brands such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber. A standard 1.6 GPF model already meets current code, but a 1.28 GPF WaterSense or a dual-flush (0.8 GPF/1.28 GPF) can save an average Crossville household 13,000–16,000 gallons per year—roughly $100–$150 on combined water and sewer charges.
How much does a toilet replacement typically cost in Crossville, and what factors affect the price?
For a straightforward swap, total investment runs $450–$850, which includes the new WaterSense-rated toilet, wax ring or no-wax seal, stainless supply line, disposal of the old unit, and labor. Costs rise for premium smart or bidet-integrated toilets ($1,200–$3,500), floor flange repairs ($75–$250), or relocation of the drain stack (quoted after inspection). Because Crossville’s labor rates are slightly lower than national averages, you can often upgrade to a higher-end model without exceeding your budget.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a toilet replacement in Cumberland County, TN?
If you’re simply replacing a toilet in the same location, Crossville’s Building & Codes Department treats it as minor maintenance—no permit required. However, work that moves the drain, alters structural framing, or ties into the main waste line outside the footprint does require a plumbing permit and final inspection. Our licensed technicians handle any necessary paperwork and schedule the county inspector when code mandates it, so you remain fully compliant.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
For most jobs we’ll need 60–90 minutes on site. Water is only shut off at the fixture’s angle stop, so the rest of your home retains full service. If we discover flange corrosion or sub-floor rot, repair time can extend to 3–4 hours, and we may use the main shut-off for brief intervals. We’ll inform you of any findings before proceeding and protect floors with drop cloths to keep your bathroom usable the same day.
What warranties or guarantees do you offer on new toilets and your installation work?
All toilets we supply carry the manufacturer’s parts warranty (typically 5–10 years on vitreous china and 1 year on trim). In addition, Lasting Investment Plumbing backs our labor with a written 2-year workmanship guarantee that covers leaks, rocking, or seal failures. Should any issue arise within that period, we return at no cost to repair or replace affected components, giving Crossville homeowners peace of mind long after the install is complete.
