FAQs
What signs indicate I should replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Persistent clogs, visible cracks in the bowl or tank, wobbling at the base, rising water bills from older 3.5-gallon models, or costly internal part failures (such as a broken porcelain flush valve) usually mean replacement is the smarter long-term choice. In Jellico, many homes still have pre-1994 fixtures that consume more than twice today’s water-saving models, so upgrading can solve both performance and efficiency issues at once.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take for homes in Jellico?
For most residences, the on-site process—shutting off the water, removing the old unit, inspecting the flange, installing the new toilet, and testing—takes about 90 minutes to two hours. We schedule a 30-minute arrival window and keep common replacement parts on our truck, so over 95 % of jobs in Jellico are completed in a single visit with minimal disruption to your day.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets worth the investment?
Yes. EPA WaterSense-certified toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush—about 20 % less than current code and nearly 60 % less than many older units. Dual-flush models let you choose 0.8 gallons for liquid waste or 1.28 gallons for solids. For an average Jellico household, that saves roughly 4 000–6 000 gallons of water a year, trimming annual utility costs by $40–$70 and often paying for itself within three years. Some local utilities also offer rebates that we can help you file.
What should I expect to pay for a new toilet and professional installation in Jellico?
Pricing varies by style and features, but most customers spend $350–$750 total. That figure includes the toilet (standard gravity-flush, dual-flush, or pressure-assist), a new wax or wax-free seal, supply line, labor, haul-away, and a one-year workmanship warranty. We provide an upfront, itemized quote before any work begins—no hidden fees, even if we discover minor flange repairs during installation.
How do I know if the new toilet will fit my existing plumbing rough-in?
The rough-in is the distance from the finished wall to the center of the closet bolt—typically 10″, 12″, or 14″. During our free in-home assessment we measure this, check clearance around the bowl, and evaluate floor height. If your bathroom has an uncommon rough-in, we can order the correct size or install an offset flange adapter so you’re not forced into a limited product selection.
Do you handle haul-away and environmentally responsible disposal of my old toilet?
Absolutely. Once we remove your old fixture, we transport it to a regional recycling facility where porcelain is crushed and reused as roadbed aggregate. Usable internal hardware is donated to local vocational programs. This service is included in our standard price, so you don’t have to worry about disposal regulations or extra dumping fees.
