FAQs
What types of toilet upgrades does Attention to Detail Plumbing offer in Shelbyville?
We install a full range of modern toilets, including high-efficiency 1.28-gpf models, dual-flush systems, pressure-assisted units for commercial or large households, skirted designs for easier cleaning, comfort-height/ADA-compliant bowls, bidet-seat-ready models, and smart toilets with heated seats and auto-flush. We carry brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber, and we’ll help you compare bowl shapes, rough-in sizes, and flush technologies to find the best match for your bathroom and budget.
How do I know whether my existing toilet should be repaired or fully replaced?
Replacement is usually recommended when a toilet is 15–20 years old, has visible cracks in the tank or bowl, rocks or leaks around the base, requires frequent flapper or fill-valve repairs, shows persistent staining, or has a dated 3.5-gpf or higher flush volume. If your water bill has spiked or you’re dealing with repeated clogs despite a clear drain line, upgrading to a modern low-flow model can save up to 13,000 gallons of water per year and eliminate many maintenance issues.
Can you install water-saving or ADA-compliant toilets?
Absolutely. Shelbyville’s building code recognizes EPA WaterSense-certified fixtures, and we routinely install 1.28-gpf or lower toilets that meet or exceed those standards. For accessibility, we supply toilets with 17"–19" seat height, elongated bowls, and lever handles that comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. We’ll verify rough-in distance and grab-bar positioning so the finished installation passes any required local inspections.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take in a Shelbyville home?
Most straightforward swaps—removing the old toilet, installing a new flange and wax ring (or neoprene seal), setting the new toilet, hooking up the supply line, and testing—take 1.5 to 2 hours. If we need to repair subfloor rot, replace a corroded shut-off valve, or move the rough-in, the job can extend to half a day. We provide a time estimate after an on-site evaluation so you know exactly what to expect.
What should I do to prepare my bathroom before the plumber arrives?
Please clear a 3–4-foot radius around the toilet, remove rugs and décor, and make sure the water shut-off valve beside the toilet is accessible. If you have pets, secure them in another room. We bring floor protection, drop cloths, and boot covers, but an unobstructed workspace helps us finish faster and keeps your home cleaner.
Do you handle disposal of the old toilet and any permits required in Shelbyville?
Yes. We transport the old fixture to a recycling facility or approved disposal site at no extra cost, keeping porcelain out of landfills whenever possible. Most like-for-like replacements do not require a building permit in Shelbyville, but if we’re relocating the drain line or altering the water supply, we’ll file the permit with the Shelbyville Building & Codes Department and schedule any needed inspections.
