FAQs
When should I consider upgrading or replacing my toilet in Dayton?
Most toilets have a service life of 15–20 years. Consider an upgrade if you notice chronic clogs, cracks in the porcelain, wobbling at the base, increasing water bills, or if you still have an older 3.5-gpf (gallons per flush) model. Modern high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use as little as 1.28 gpf, saving roughly 13,000 gallons per household each year and helping you comply with current Ohio plumbing codes.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
For a standard residential toilet in Dayton, our licensed plumbers can usually complete the removal, flange inspection, wax seal replacement, installation, and testing in 1.5–3 hours. If we discover subfloor damage, flange corrosion, or the need for a shut-off valve upgrade, additional repairs may extend the visit, but we carry common repair parts on our trucks to minimize delays.
Do I need a permit to replace a toilet in the City of Dayton?
The City of Dayton’s Building Services Division does not generally require a permit for a like-for-like toilet swap performed by a licensed plumber. However, permits are required if the installation involves relocating the drain, altering the water supply lines inside the wall, or structural floor work. Our team handles any necessary permit paperwork and inspections so you remain fully compliant with local regulations.
What toilet models do you recommend for water efficiency and performance?
We typically recommend WaterSense-certified HETs such as American Standard Champion, Kohler Cimarron, and Toto Drake II. These units feature 1.28 gpf gravity-flush or 1.0 gpf pressure-assist technology, large 2-1/8" trapways to reduce clogs, and glazing that resists staining. For households seeking maximum conservation, dual-flush models (0.8/1.28 gpf) offer even greater savings without sacrificing flush power.
How much does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost in the Dayton area?
Pricing depends on the toilet style, rough-in size (10", 12", or 14"), seat height, and any plumbing repairs needed. On average, customers spend: • Basic toilet + installation: $400–$650 • Premium HET or comfort-height unit: $650–$950 • Pressure-assist or skirted designs: $900–$1,400 These prices include removal/disposal of the old toilet, new wax ring or rubber seal, stainless-steel bolts, supply line, and labor. We provide upfront, written estimates so there are no surprises.
Can you dispose of my old toilet in an environmentally friendly way?
Yes. We transport removed porcelain fixtures to approved recycling centers in Montgomery County, where they are crushed and reused as aggregate for roadbeds and concrete projects. Any metal components are separated for scrap recycling. This keeps bulky waste out of Dayton landfills and supports local sustainability efforts.
