FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my existing toilet instead of repairing it?
Common signs include persistent leaks around the base, frequent clogging, cracks in the porcelain, constantly running water that raises your utility bill, and outdated 3.5-gallon or larger tanks that waste water. If repairs are becoming more frequent or parts are no longer readily available, a replacement usually saves money and hassle in the long run.
What types of high-efficiency toilets do you install in Rockford?
We install WaterSense-certified single-flush, dual-flush, and pressure-assisted models from trusted brands such as Kohler, TOTO, and American Standard. These units use 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less, providing up to 60% water savings compared with older 3.5-GPF toilets while maintaining powerful flush performance.
How much does a professional toilet replacement cost?
In Rockford, most standard replacements range from $450–$950, including the new fixture, high-grade wax or rubber seal, upgraded supply line, disposal of the old unit, and labor. Premium comfort-height, skirted, or smart bidet toilets can cost $1,200–$3,500 installed. We provide free written estimates after an on-site evaluation so there are no surprises.
How long will the installation take and will my water be shut off all day?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 2–3 hours. We only shut off the water to the bathroom during the removal and connection steps—usually 30–45 minutes. Your home’s main water supply remains on for other fixtures, so disruption is minimal.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a toilet upgrade in Rockford?
For a like-for-like toilet swap in an existing location, the City of Rockford generally does not require a plumbing permit. If we are relocating the toilet, altering drain lines, or adding an electrical hookup for a smart/bidet model, a permit and inspection are required. Our licensed plumbers handle all paperwork and schedule any necessary city inspections for you.
What happens to my old toilet and how do you ensure an eco-friendly disposal?
We remove and haul away your old toilet at no extra charge. Usable porcelain is separated and taken to a local recycling facility where it is crushed for use in road base and new construction materials. Any remaining components, such as internal plastic parts or metal bolts, are sorted and recycled accordingly to keep waste out of Rockford landfills.
