FAQs
What are the main advantages of upgrading my existing toilet in Sequatchie?
Modern toilets use as little as 1.28 gpf (gallons per flush) compared to older 3.5 – 5 gpf models, so you can cut water usage by up to 60 %. They also flush more powerfully, are quieter, and come with comfort-height, ADA-compliant bowls and easy-clean glazing. Many of our Sequatchie customers notice a lower utility bill, improved bathroom aesthetics, and fewer clogs within the first month.
How can I tell whether I need a simple repair or a full replacement?
If your toilet is 20 + years old, has visible cracks, wobbles at the base, or needs frequent flapper, fill-valve, or seal repairs, replacement is usually the cost-effective choice. We perform a no-charge inspection in Sequatchie and provide a side-by-side cost comparison so you can decide with clear numbers in front of you.
Which innovative toilet options do you install for Sequatchie homes?
Popular choices include: • WaterSense-certified dual-flush toilets (0.8 / 1.28 gpf) • Pressure-assisted models for homes with low water pressure • Touch-free flush valves for improved hygiene • Integrated bidet seats with warm-water wash and air-dry • Chair-height bowls for easier sitting and standing. We carry Kohler, American Standard, Toto, and Niagara Conservation and back all installations with a 2-year labor warranty.
What is involved in the replacement process and how long will it take?
Most residential swaps take 90 – 120 minutes. We shut off and drain the existing toilet, remove and recycle it, inspect the flange, install a new wax or rubber seal, set and level the new bowl, connect the tank or integrated unit, run leak tests, and haul away debris. You can use the new toilet as soon as we finish.
Will installing a high-efficiency toilet really lower my monthly water bill?
Yes. Tennessee averages about $7.14 per 1,000 gallons. Replacing one 3.5 gpf toilet that is flushed 5 times a day with a 1.28 gpf model saves roughly 4,000 gallons yearly—about $28 per bathroom, not counting reduced septic pumping or sewer charges. Many Sequatchie households see payback in under two years.
Do you take care of permits and disposal of the old unit?
Sequatchie County does not require a separate plumbing permit for like-for-like toilet swaps in single-family homes, but we handle any paperwork if you’re in a jurisdiction that does. We also transport the old toilet to a certified recycling center at no extra charge so you don’t have to lift or store anything.
