FAQs
When should I replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
If your toilet is more than 15–20 years old, has recurring clogs or leaks, shows cracks in the bowl/tank, or its internal parts need frequent repairs, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Newer models are far more water-efficient, and a modern installation performed by our South Pittsburg plumbers eliminates hidden leaks that can drive up water bills and damage flooring.
What upgrade options are available for today’s toilets?
Modern toilets come with numerous comfort and efficiency features, including high-efficiency 1.28 gpf models, dual-flush mechanisms, pressure-assisted flushing for powerful clearing, comfort-height seating (ADA compliant), soft-close seats, bidet functions, integrated night lights, and antimicrobial glazing. Our team can walk you through the best brands and styles to fit your budget and bathroom décor.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take?
A straightforward swap—removing the old unit, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax ring, setting the new toilet, and testing—takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Extra time may be needed if the flange is damaged, the shut-off valve must be replaced, or you choose additional features like a bidet seat that require an electrical outlet.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in South Pittsburg?
The City of South Pittsburg follows the 2018 International Plumbing Code. A simple like-for-like toilet replacement in an existing bathroom generally does NOT require a building permit, but any alterations to the drain line, water supply, or structural changes do. Our licensed plumbers will advise you and pull any required permits so the job is 100 % code-compliant.
What does a new toilet and professional installation cost?
Basic round-bowl toilets installed start around $350–$450. Comfort-height or elongated high-efficiency models typically run $450–$650. Premium units with bidet seats, pressure assist, or smart controls can exceed $1,000 before labor. We provide transparent, up-front quotes that include the toilet, disposal of the old unit, wax ring, bolts, supply line, labor, and a workmanship warranty—no surprise fees.
Will an upgraded toilet really save water and lower my utility bills?
Yes. Pre-1994 toilets use 3.5–7 gpf (gallons per flush). Replacing one of these with a WaterSense-certified 1.28 gpf model cuts water use by up to 60 %. For a family of four, that can mean more than 13,000 gallons saved per year—over $100 in annual water and sewer charges in Marion County. Dual-flush options provide even greater savings for liquid waste flushes.
