FAQs
When should I consider upgrading or replacing my toilet?
Most toilets last 15–20 years, but you should start thinking about a replacement if you notice chronic clogging, cracks in the tank or bowl, wobbling, rising water bills, or difficulty finding internal parts. Replacing an old 3.5–7 gpf (gallons per flush) model with today’s 1.28 gpf or dual-flush toilets can immediately boost efficiency and reliability.
What high-efficiency toilet options do you offer in Shelbyville?
We install WaterSense-certified single-flush (1.28 gpf), dual-flush (0.8/1.28 gpf), pressure-assisted, and skirted one-piece toilets from leading brands such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber. Our technicians will evaluate your bathroom’s rough-in, mounting style, and user preferences to recommend the right height, bowl shape, and flushing technology for maximum comfort and water savings.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
A standard like-for-like toilet swap usually takes 1.5–2 hours, including draining, disconnecting, removal, flange inspection, wax ring replacement, installation, leveling, and leak testing. If flange repairs, subfloor leveling, or supply-line relocation are needed, we may need an additional 1–2 hours. We schedule appointments in convenient two-hour arrival windows and carry most parts on our service trucks to finish in one visit.
Will a new toilet really lower my water bill?
Yes. Replacing a pre-1994 toilet that uses 3.5 gpf with a WaterSense 1.28 gpf model reduces water consumption by about 63%. For an average household of four flushing five times per person per day, that’s roughly 13,500 gallons saved per year—often $100–$150 in annual utility savings in Shelbyville. Dual-flush units can save even more because liquid-only flushes use just 0.8 gpf.
Can you dispose of my old toilet and handle permits?
Absolutely. Our quoted price includes removal and eco-friendly disposal or recycling of your old fixture. If your project triggers a plumbing permit under Shelbyville or Bedford County codes—typically required when relocating drains—we prepare the paperwork, schedule inspections, and ensure your installation passes local standards at no extra hassle to you.
How much does a professional toilet upgrade cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on the toilet style and any flange or plumbing repairs needed. Most straightforward replacements range from $475 to $850, including the new WaterSense toilet, parts, labor, and disposal. Premium smart or pressure-assisted models can be higher. We provide free in-home estimates and offer 0% same-as-cash financing for up to 12 months on approved credit to make upgrading easier on your budget.
