FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Persistent clogs, cracks in the bowl or tank, frequent leaks, wobbling at the base, outdated water-guzzling models (pre-1994), or expensive parts that keep failing all signal it’s more cost-effective to replace the unit. Our Decherd plumbers can inspect your fixture, give an honest assessment, and help you decide if an upgrade will save water, money, and headaches.
What types of modern toilets can your Decherd team install?
We carry and install a full range of EPA WaterSense high-efficiency toilets (HET), dual-flush models, pressure-assisted units for commercial settings, comfort-height/ADA-compliant bowls, skirted and wall-hung designs for easy cleaning, and smart toilets with bidet seats, night-lights, deodorizers, and heated seats. If you’re unsure which style fits your space, we’ll bring sample catalogs and explain the pros and cons of each option.
How long does a typical toilet replacement or upgrade take?
Most standard swaps take 1½–2 hours once the plumber is on site. This includes shutting off the water, draining and removing the old toilet, checking the flange and wax ring, installing the new unit, reconnecting the supply line, testing for leaks, and hauling away the old fixture. Complex jobs—such as relocating the rough-in, repairing subfloor rot, or adding an electrical outlet for a smart toilet—can extend the timeline to half a day.
What will my new toilet cost, and what factors influence the final price?
In Decherd, basic WaterSense toilets start around $350–$450 installed, mid-range comfort-height or dual-flush models average $550–$750, and luxury smart toilets can exceed $1,500. Pricing depends on brand and features, seat height, bowl shape, rough-in size, whether a flange repair kit or new shut-off valve is needed, and any flooring or drywall work discovered during removal. We provide a written, upfront quote so there are no surprises.
Do you handle disposal of the old toilet and any permits required?
Yes. Our team removes the old unit, recycles porcelain when possible, and disposes of remaining material in accordance with Franklin County regulations—no curbside hassle for you. Most residential toilet swaps don’t need permits, but if we alter drain lines or move the fixture, we’ll secure the necessary plumbing permit with the city of Decherd before work begins.
