FAQs
How long does a typical toilet replacement take in Shelbyville?
Most standard toilet replacements are completed within 2–3 hours from arrival to clean-up. Because we specialize in minimal-disruption plumbing, we arrive with all necessary tools and the new fixture pre-inspected, so there are no surprise delays. Complex jobs that involve flange repair or relocating the water supply can add another hour or two, but you will always receive a firm time estimate before work begins.
Will my water be shut off for the entire duration of the upgrade?
No. We only shut off the supply line to the existing toilet, not the main line to the whole house. This localized shut-off usually lasts 30–45 minutes while we remove the old unit, prep the flange, and set the new toilet. You’ll still have running water in the rest of your home during that time.
What steps do you take to keep my bathroom and home clean?
Technicians wear shoe covers, lay down clean drop cloths from the doorway to the work area, and use a wet/dry vac to capture any residual water from the old toilet. All packaging and the removed fixture are immediately bagged or boxed for disposal. After installation we sanitize the floor, wipe down nearby surfaces, and haul away the old toilet, leaving no mess behind.
Can you recommend and install water-saving or comfort-height toilets?
Absolutely. We stock and install a range of EPA WaterSense-certified models that use 1.28 GPF or less, dual-flush units, and comfort-height designs that sit 17–19 inches from floor to seat. During the initial call or onsite assessment we’ll review your preferences for bowl shape, flushing technology, brand, and color, then provide options that balance efficiency, comfort, and budget.
Do you handle permits and code compliance for Shelbyville?
Yes. While simple like-for-like swaps rarely need a permit, any project involving relocation of plumbing lines or structural changes may require one. Our team is licensed in Shelbyville, stays current with local plumbing codes, and will secure any necessary permits on your behalf to ensure the installation passes inspection.
What happens to my old toilet after it’s removed?
We include responsible disposal in every service. Porcelain components are taken to a local recycling facility where they’re crushed for use as road-bed aggregate, and any metal parts are separated for scrap recycling. If the fixture is in good condition, we can also donate it to a Shelbyville building-materials reuse center at your request.
