FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet should be replaced rather than repaired?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, visible leaks around the base, constant running despite new internal parts, and rising water bills are key indicators. If your toilet is 20 years or older, upgrading often saves money long-term on repairs and water usage.
What modern toilet options do you offer to Huntsville homeowners?
We install high-efficiency single-flush and dual-flush toilets, pressure-assisted models for commercial strength flushing, comfort-height bowls, skirted bases for easy cleaning, and smart toilets with bidet seats, night lights, and automatic flushing. All models meet or exceed Alabama’s plumbing codes and EPA WaterSense standards.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
Most standard replacements are completed in 2–3 hours. This includes shutting off the water, draining and removing your old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting and leveling the new fixture, connecting the supply line, and testing for leaks. Complex jobs (flange repair, relocation, or smart-toilet wiring) can take longer, but we’ll give you a time estimate before work begins.
Are high-efficiency toilets really worth the investment?
Yes. Older toilets can use 3–5 gallons per flush, while WaterSense-labeled high-efficiency models use 1.28 gallons or less without sacrificing performance. The average Huntsville household can save up to 13,000 gallons of water and roughly $100 per year on utilities. Over the toilet’s lifespan, those savings typically outweigh the modest price difference.
Do you handle removal and eco-friendly disposal of my old toilet?
Absolutely. Our licensed plumbers remove the existing unit, ensure any residual water is contained, and transport the old toilet to a local recycling facility or authorized disposal center. We also recycle cardboard packaging and other materials from your new fixture whenever possible.
How much does a toilet upgrade cost in Huntsville, and what factors affect the price?
Basic replacements start around $425, which includes a standard WaterSense toilet, new wax ring, supply line, labor, and haul-away. Premium options—such as skirted, comfort-height, or smart toilets—can range from $650 to $2,000+. Price is influenced by fixture style, flushing technology, brand, required plumbing modifications, and any subfloor or flange repairs. We provide upfront, itemized quotes so there are no surprises.
