FAQs
What are the most common signs that I should replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogging, cracks in the bowl or tank, constant running water, visible leaks around the base, wobbling even after tightening the flange bolts, and rising water bills caused by outdated high-volume flushing are all clear indicators that a replacement makes more financial and practical sense than another repair. If your toilet is 20+ years old, upgrading to a modern high-efficiency model will also meet current plumbing codes and reduce water consumption by up to 60 %.
What toilet upgrade options do you offer for homeowners in Jellico?
Our licensed plumbers install a full range of modern fixtures: • High-efficiency (HET) 1.28 gpf or ultra-high-efficiency 0.8 gpf toilets • Dual-flush systems that let you choose between a light or full flush • Comfort-height/ADA-compliant bowls for easier sitting and standing • Skirted, one-piece, and wall-hung designs for easier cleaning and a sleek look • Integrated bidet seats with warm-water wash and heated air-dry • Touchless or sensor-activated flush valves. We’ll discuss your household’s needs, water-use goals, and bathroom layout to recommend the best model and rough-in size.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and what does the process involve?
Most standard replacements take 2–4 hours. We start by shutting off the water, draining the old toilet, and protecting your flooring. The old unit is removed, the flange and wax ring are inspected (and replaced if worn), and we verify that the shut-off valve and supply line meet current code. The new toilet is leveled, securely bolted, and thoroughly tested for flush performance and leaks. Before leaving, we caulk the base (if requested) and haul away the old fixture unless you prefer to keep it.
Do I need a permit in Jellico for a toilet replacement, and will you handle the paperwork?
Under the City of Jellico’s adoption of the 2018 International Plumbing Code, a simple like-for-like toilet swap inside an existing bathroom typically does NOT require a separate building permit. However, if the work involves moving the drain, altering structural walls, or adding new supply lines, a plumbing permit through Campbell County Codes Enforcement may be necessary. Our team monitors local regulations and will secure any required permits, schedule inspections, and provide documentation at no extra hassle to you.
What does a toilet upgrade cost in Jellico, and what factors influence the price?
Basic replacements start around $325–$450, which covers standard white two-piece toilets, a new wax ring, supply line, labor, and disposal. Pricing rises with premium or specialty units ($600–$2,000+), floor repairs around a damaged flange, relocations that require new drain piping, or smart bidet features. During your free on-site estimate we itemize fixture cost, parts, labor, and any permit fees so there are no hidden surprises.
Will you dispose of my old toilet, and is it recycled responsibly?
Yes. We remove the old unit from your property and deliver it to an approved construction & demolition recycling facility in Campbell County where porcelain is crushed for use as aggregate in roadbeds and new concrete products. Any metal hardware is separated for scrap recycling. This service is included in our standard installation package, helping you avoid landfill fees and keeping Jellico environmentally friendly.
