FAQs
When should I consider replacing my existing toilet rather than repairing it?
You should think about replacement if your toilet is more than 15–20 years old, needs frequent repairs, shows visible cracks in the bowl or tank, runs constantly, or wobbles at the base. Modern models are far more water-efficient, so upgrading can cut your water bill by 20–60 %. In Decherd, where we pay for every gallon that flows through the meter, the savings add up quickly.
What are the advantages of upgrading to a high-efficiency or dual-flush toilet?
High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons or less per flush, while dual-flush units let you choose between a low-volume flush for liquids and a full flush for solids. Besides lowering water bills, they reduce strain on your septic or city sewer system, operate more quietly, and often include modern features such as skirted bowls, powerful siphon-jet flushing, and antimicrobial glazing that makes cleaning easier.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take, and will my water be shut off all day?
A straightforward swap-out of an existing toilet typically takes 1.5–2.5 hours. We only shut off the local supply line, so the rest of your home’s plumbing stays active. If we’re moving the flange, repairing sub-flooring, or upgrading the shut-off valve, the visit can extend to half a day, but full-home water shut-offs are rare and brief.
Can you install comfort-height or ADA-compliant toilets for mobility issues?
Absolutely. Comfort-height (a.k.a. chair-height) toilets stand 17–19 inches from floor to seat, easing transfers for seniors, tall users, and those with limited mobility. We stock several ADA-certified models and can add grab bars, lever handles, or bidet seats during the same visit to create a fully accessible bathroom that meets both national ADA guidelines and Tennessee building codes.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a toilet replacement in Decherd?
Replacing a toilet in the same location usually does not require a building permit in Decherd. However, if we must move the drain, alter venting, or open structural flooring, the Franklin County Building & Codes Department may require a plumbing permit and a final inspection. Our team handles all paperwork and schedules any inspections so you stay fully compliant.
What happens to my old toilet, and what kind of warranty do you provide on the new installation?
We haul away your old fixture at no extra charge. Whenever possible, we deliver porcelain to a recycler so it can be crushed and reused as road-bed aggregate instead of going to the landfill. All new toilets carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 5–10 years on ceramics and 1 year on working parts. Our workmanship is backed by a separate two-year labor warranty, one of the longest in the Decherd area.
