FAQs
What types of modern, high-tech toilets do you install in Grandview?
We install a full range of contemporary toilet models, including water-saving dual-flush units, pressure-assisted toilets, touch-free (sensor-activated) flushing systems, heated-seat bidet toilets, and smart "integrated" models that offer app controls, self-cleaning bowls, night-light LEDs, and automatic lid operation. We work with leading manufacturers such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and BioBidet to ensure you receive reliable technology with local parts availability.
How much water can I expect to save by upgrading to a modern toilet?
Grandview’s existing plumbing code limits new toilets to 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF), but many older homes still have 3.5–5.0 GPF fixtures. Switching to a WaterSense-certified 1.28 GPF model can reduce toilet water use by up to 60 percent, saving an average household about 13,000 gallons—and roughly $120–$150—per year. Dual-flush or pressure-assisted units can provide even higher savings while maintaining strong bowl-clearing performance.
What does the replacement process involve and how long will installation take?
After a free on-site evaluation, we help you select a model that matches your plumbing rough-in, floor type, and style preferences. On installation day we shut off and drain the existing fixture, remove it, inspect the flange, and replace the wax ring or upgrade to a leak-proof rubber seal. We then set the new toilet, level it, anchor the bolts, connect the supply line, and test all functions—including electronic features if applicable. Most standard replacements take 90 minutes to 2 hours; smart bidet toilets with power connections may require 3–4 hours or an electrician visit if a GFCI outlet must be added.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a toilet upgrade in Grandview?
For a straight ‘like-for-like’ toilet swap where no drain line, venting, or electrical changes are made, Grandview typically does not require a plumbing permit. However, if we must modify the drain location, reroute venting, or add a new electrical circuit for a smart toilet, the city’s residential plumbing code mandates a permit and a final inspection. We handle all paperwork, fees, and scheduling with the Grandview Building Department on your behalf to ensure full compliance.
What factors influence the total cost of a modern toilet replacement?
Pricing varies based on: (1) the toilet itself (standard low-flow models start around $300, while fully integrated smart bidet toilets can exceed $2,500); (2) installation complexity—offset flanges, concrete drilling, or electrical work add labor costs; (3) any necessary repairs such as flange replacement, subfloor patching, or water-supply upgrades; and (4) disposal fees for the old fixture. Our typical all-inclusive packages range from $650 for a quality WaterSense toilet up to $3,800 for premium smart systems, and every quote is itemized up front—no hidden charges.
How do I maintain and troubleshoot a high-tech or smart toilet after installation?
Most advanced toilets still rely on standard ceramic bowls and high-quality glazing, so routine care involves gentle, non-abrasive cleaning products and a soft brush. For electronic components, wipe the control panel and seat with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Replace carbon air-deodorizer filters and bidet wand screens per the manufacturer’s schedule (usually every 6–12 months). If the unit shows error codes, power-cycle it by unplugging the GFCI outlet for 30 seconds. We provide a detailed owner’s guide and offer an optional annual service plan that covers flushing system tune-ups, filter changes, and firmware updates to keep your smart toilet running smoothly for years.
