FAQs
How can I tell whether my toilet should be upgraded or completely replaced?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the bowl or tank, constantly running water, and visible wear on the porcelain are warning signs you may need a replacement. If the toilet is more than 15–20 years old, upgrading to a modern WaterSense-certified model can immediately reduce water usage. Our Robbins technicians can inspect the fixture, evaluate flushing performance, and recommend whether a simple repair, an internal component upgrade, or a full replacement will be the most cost-effective solution.
What types of high-efficiency toilets do you install for Robbins homeowners?
We install single-flush, dual-flush, and pressure-assisted WaterSense-labeled toilets from leading brands such as Kohler, Toto, and American Standard. Many customers choose dual-flush models that use about 0.8 gpf for liquids and 1.28 gpf for solids—roughly a 20-40 percent savings versus older 3.5 gpf fixtures. Comfort-height (ADA-compliant) bowls and skirted designs are also popular for easier cleaning and accessibility.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take?
Most standard replacements in Robbins take two to three hours. This covers water shut-off, draining and removal of the old unit, inspection of the flange and supply line, installation of a new wax or rubber seal, setting and leveling the new toilet, leak testing, and haul-away of the old fixture. If we discover flange damage or need to relocate the drain, the job can extend to half a day, but we provide an updated timeline on site.
Will a new toilet really lower my water bill?
Yes. Replacing a 3.5-gpf toilet with a 1.28-gpf WaterSense model can save a family of four up to 13,000 gallons per year—about $110–$150 in annual water costs in the Robbins area. Dual-flush units add even more savings because over 60 percent of flushes are liquid-only and use under 1 gallon. On top of the utility savings, the Village of Robbins occasionally offers rebates for WaterSense replacements—ask us for the latest incentive details.
Do I need a permit or inspection to replace a toilet in Robbins?
For a like-for-like swap that does not relocate plumbing lines, Robbins plumbing code typically does not require a permit. However, if you are moving the toilet, altering the drain, or upgrading multiple fixtures, the building department may require a plumbing permit and inspection. As licensed contractors, we can verify current local requirements, pull any necessary permits, and coordinate inspections so your project stays fully compliant.
What does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost and what warranty do you offer?
Prices vary by model, but a standard replacement—including the toilet, new supply line, wax seal, disposal of the old unit, and labor—ranges from $450 to $900. High-end skirted or pressure-assisted models can reach $1,200+. All installations come with a one-year labor warranty from our Robbins plumbing team, and most manufacturers provide a limited 5- to 10-year parts warranty on the china and internal components.
