FAQs
What kinds of toilet upgrades do you offer for Graysville homes?
We install a full range of modern toilets, including high-efficiency 1.28 gpf models, dual-flush units, comfort-height ADA-compliant bowls, skirted one-piece designs for a sleek look, and smart toilets with built-in bidet seats, night lights, and touch-free flushing. If you are renovating for improved aesthetics, we can also supply wall-mounted or low-profile concealed-tank toilets that free up floor space and give bathrooms a contemporary feel.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
For most straightforward swaps—removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax (or wax-free) seal, setting the new bowl, hooking up the water line, and testing—our licensed plumbers usually need 2–3 hours. If flange repairs, subfloor leveling, or drywall patching around the shut-off valve are required, the job may extend to half a day. We always give you a realistic timeline after an on-site assessment.
Will a new high-efficiency toilet really lower my water bill?
Yes. Older toilets often use 3.5–5 gallons per flush (gpf). Modern EPA WaterSense-certified units use 1.28 gpf or less, cutting water consumption by up to 60 %. In Graysville, where Jefferson County Water charges tiered rates, that can translate into annual savings of $50–$100 for a family of four. Dual-flush models save even more because liquid-only flushes use roughly 0.8 gpf.
Do I need a permit to replace a toilet in Graysville?
Replacing a toilet in the same location is considered minor maintenance and does not require a city plumbing permit. However, if the project involves moving the drain line, adding new shut-off valves behind walls, or altering vent stacks, a permit through the Jefferson County Inspection Services Department is needed. Our team handles all permitting and code compliance when projects go beyond a straight replacement.
What should I look for when choosing a new toilet for both style and performance?
First, measure the rough-in distance (usually 12 inches from finished wall to flange bolt). Then consider bowl shape (elongated for comfort, round for small spaces), seat height (standard 15" vs. comfort 17–19"), flush mechanism (gravity, pressure-assisted, or dual), and finish (classic white, matte black, or specialty glazes). For aesthetics, skirted bases and color-matched hinges create clean lines, while soft-close seats prevent slamming. Ask about flush-surface glazing and antimicrobial coatings if ease of cleaning matters.
Will you dispose of my old toilet and leave the bathroom clean?
Absolutely. Our service includes careful removal of the existing toilet, eco-friendly disposal or recycling of porcelain (when possible), and thorough site cleanup—no stray bolts, wax, or packaging left behind. We protect your floors with drop cloths and sanitize the work area before we leave, so your bathroom is ready to use immediately after installation.
