FAQs
What signs indicate I should replace my toilet rather than repair it?
Persistent clogging, visible cracks in the tank or bowl, wobbling at the base, recurring leaks around the seal, or a 1994 or older model that uses more than 3.5 gallons per flush are strong signals itâs time for a replacement. Frequent repairs can quickly cost more than a modern, efficient unit, and older toilets waste thousands of gallons of water each year.
What modern toilet upgrade options do you offer in Maynardville?
Our licensed plumbers install WaterSense-certified high-efficiency toilets (1.28 gpf or less), dual-flush models, comfort-height ADA-compliant bowls, one-piece skirted designs for easy cleaning, and smart toilets with heated seats, bidet functions, and automatic flushing. We stock brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber that meet Tennessee plumbing codes and come with manufacturer warranties.
How long does a standard toilet replacement take and will my water be off all day?
In most cases, we finish a like-for-like replacement in 1.5â2 hours. Your main water supply is turned off only during the removal and installationâtypically 20â30 minutes. If you choose flooring repairs, flange replacement, or a complicated retrofit, the job can extend to half a day, but weâll let you know the schedule in advance.
Do I need a plumbing permit in Maynardville to replace my toilet, and do you handle the paperwork?
Union County does not require a permit for a simple toilet swap in an existing bathroom, but a permit is mandatory if we relocate the toilet or modify the drain line or venting. Our team verifies local code requirements, pulls any necessary permits from the Union County Building & Codes Department, and arranges the final inspection if one is requiredâno extra hassle for you.
How much does it cost to upgrade to a water-saving toilet, and will it really lower my utility bills?
Installed prices for a quality high-efficiency toilet in Maynardville start around $475 and average $550â$750, depending on style and features. Switching from a 3.5 gpf model to a 1.28 gpf model can save a household of four about 13,000 gallons of water per yearâroughly $70â$90 on Maynardville Water Department bills. TVA also offers occasional rebates on WaterSense fixtures, which weâll help you claim when available.
What can I do to prepare my bathroom before your installers arrive?
Clear a 3-foot radius around the toilet, remove items from behind and beside the tank, and make sure pets are secured. If youâre keeping existing flooring, a quick sweep or vacuum helps us keep dust down. Have a trash bag handy for any personal items you wish to discard. Weâll bring drop cloths, haul away your old toilet for recycling, and leave the work area spotless.
