FAQs
What are the main signs that my Rutledge home needs a toilet upgrade or replacement?
Common indicators include persistent clogging, cracks in the porcelain, constant running water, frequent repairs, or a toilet that was installed over 20 years ago. Older models consume up to 3–5 gallons per flush, so switching to a modern high-efficiency toilet (HET) can cut water usage in half.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take?
For standard installations, our licensed Rutledge plumbers typically complete the removal of the old unit, inspection of the flange, installation of the new toilet, and cleanup in 1.5–2 hours. More complex jobs—such as flange repairs, relocating the toilet, or custom bidet seat wiring—may extend the project to half a day.
Will upgrading my toilet really save me money on utilities?
Yes. Modern HETs and dual-flush models use 1.1–1.28 gallons per flush compared with older 3.5-gallon units. In Rutledge’s average household of four, that can translate to 5,000–7,000 gallons of water saved per year, lowering annual water bills by roughly 15–20%.
Can your team dispose of my old toilet in an environmentally responsible way?
Absolutely. After removal, we transport porcelain toilets to a local recycling facility where they’re ground into aggregate for road base or new construction material. Any plastic or metal components are separated for proper recycling. Nothing goes to a Rutledge landfill.
What kind of toilets do you recommend for Rutledge homes with low water pressure?
We suggest pressure-assisted or vacuum-assisted models, which use an internal pressure tank to deliver a powerful flush despite lower supply pressure. Our technicians assess your home’s PSI and recommend brands such as Gerber, Kohler Highline Pressure Lite, or Niagara Stealth for optimal performance.
How much should I budget for a toilet upgrade or replacement in Rutledge?
Costs vary with features and scope. A basic gravity-flush replacement averages $450–$650 installed. High-efficiency or comfort-height models range from $650–$950. Smart toilets with bidet functions or integrated nightlights can run $1,200–$3,000. We provide upfront, itemized quotes that include labor, parts, disposal, and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
