FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my toilet instead of just repairing the old one?
Modern toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared with the 3–6 gallons older models need, cutting your water bill by up to 60 %. Newer bowls also feature glazed trapways that resist staining, quieter fill valves, and comfort-height seating that’s easier on knees and backs. In Niota, where limestone in the water can shorten a toilet’s lifespan, an upgrade often costs less in the long run than repeated repairs and higher water usage.
What types of high-efficiency or specialty toilets do you install in Niota?
We carry WaterSense-certified gravity-flush, pressure-assisted, dual-flush, skirted, wall-hung, comfort-height, and ADA-compliant models from Kohler, American Standard, TOTO, and Gerber. Our plumbers will measure your rough-in, verify floor strength, and recommend bowls that match Niota’s 2″ drain-line code while meeting your preferences for bowl shape, height, color, and flush mechanism.
How much does a professional toilet replacement cost and what is included?
In Niota, a standard replacement with a WaterSense gravity-flush toilet runs $475–$725, depending on model and finish. The price covers the new toilet, wax or neoprene seal, stainless-steel supply line, shut-off valve upgrade if needed, haul-away of the old unit, labor, and a one-year workmanship warranty. Upgrades like bidet seats, skirted bowls, or pressure-assist tanks add $150–$400. We provide upfront, written quotes before any work begins.
Will I need a plumbing permit for a toilet swap, and do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. McMinn County requires a minor plumbing permit for fixture replacements that alter the supply or waste connection. We obtain the permit, schedule the inspector when needed, and include the $25–$35 fee in your quote, so you never have to visit the county office yourself.
How long does the installation take, and will my water be shut off for the whole day?
Most straightforward replacements take 60–90 minutes. Your home’s main water line is shut off for about 15 minutes while we disconnect the old toilet and install the new shut-off valve. We coordinate the work so you are never without at least one operational bathroom for more than a half hour.
What happens to my old toilet after removal?
We transport your old porcelain to a regional concrete recycler that crushes fixtures into aggregate used for road base and landscaping. Metal tank components are separated for scrap recycling, and any remaining water is safely disposed of according to Niota’s wastewater guidelines. Nothing ends up in the landfill.
