FAQs
When should I consider replacing my existing toilet instead of repairing it?
A toilet that is more than 15–20 years old, requires frequent repairs, has visible cracks in the tank or bowl, wobbles at the base, or runs constantly is usually a candidate for replacement rather than repair. Modern models are designed to use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush, so swapping out an inefficient 3.5-gpf unit can cut water consumption by up to 60 %. In Spring City, rising water and sewer rates make replacement an even smarter long-term choice.
What modern design toilet options do you offer in Spring City?
We carry a full range of contemporary fixtures, including: • One-piece low-profile toilets that create a seamless look and eliminate hard-to-clean crevices • Wall-mounted toilets that hide the tank inside the wall for a minimalist aesthetic and easier floor cleaning • Compact elongated bowls that provide the comfort of an elongated seat while fitting in the space of a round-front toilet • Smart toilets with bidet functionality, heated seats, night lights, and automatic flushing • High-efficiency dual-flush systems certified by WaterSense. All models we install meet Pennsylvania plumbing codes and come from trusted brands such as Toto, Kohler, and American Standard.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off?
For a standard floor-mounted toilet, the entire process—draining the old bowl, removing the unit, inspecting and replacing the wax ring or flange, setting the new toilet, hooking up the supply line, and testing for leaks—takes about 2–3 hours. Your home’s main water valve is shut off for roughly 20–30 minutes while we disconnect and reconnect the supply. If you select a wall-hung unit or need subfloor or flange repairs, we’ll let you know in advance; these jobs can take 4–6 hours or may require a second visit for drywall finishing.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets worth the investment?
Yes. A WaterSense-labeled high-efficiency toilet (HET) uses 1.28 gpf or less compared with the federal standard of 1.6 gpf. Dual-flush models allow a 0.8–1.0 gpf “light” flush for liquids and a full 1.28 gpf for solids. In an average Spring City household, this saves 3,000–4,000 gallons of water per person each year—about $35–$50 on combined water and sewer charges. Over the 20-year lifespan of the toilet, savings exceed the additional purchase price several times over, and rebates from Aqua Pennsylvania or PECO may further offset costs.
Can you dispose of my old toilet and handle permits in Spring City?
Absolutely. We haul away and recycle your old porcelain at an approved facility so you don’t have to coordinate bulky-item pickup. If a plumbing permit is required—typically when relocating a drain line or installing a pressure-assisted or wall-hung model—we prepare the paperwork and schedule inspections with the Spring City Code Enforcement Office. All work is performed by licensed, insured plumbers and comes with a certificate of completion for your records.
What is the average cost of a toilet upgrade and do you offer financing or warranties?
A standard replacement with a quality two-piece HET starts around $575, which includes the toilet, wax ring or rubber seal, new supply hose, labor, and disposal. One-piece designs average $725–$950, while smart or wall-mounted systems can range from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on features and required in-wall support. We partner with GreenSky to provide 0 % APR financing for up to 12 months on purchases over $750. All toilets come with the manufacturer’s limited warranty (typically 1–3 years on parts, lifetime on china), and our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, covering leaks, loose fittings, and flange issues.
