FAQs
What kinds of toilet upgrades do you offer in Townsend?
We install a full line of modern toilets, including comfort-height models, high-efficiency 1.28 gpf units, dual-flush bowls, skirted one-piece designs, wall-hung carriers, bidet-seat compatible models, and smart toilets with heated seats and automatic flushing. All fixtures come from nationally recognized brands such as Kohler, American Standard, Toto and Gerber so you can count on long-term reliability and ready availability of replacement parts.
How can I tell whether my existing toilet should be repaired or completely replaced?
Replacement makes sense when the bowl or tank is cracked, there is persistent leaking around the base, you experience frequent clogs or phantom flushing, the porcelain is badly stained or pitted, or the unit was manufactured before 1994 and uses 3.5–5 gallons per flush. If only the fill valve, flapper or supply line is malfunctioning and the porcelain is sound, a minor repair may be all that’s needed. We provide a no-obligation inspection so you can make an informed decision.
What is the typical cost of a professional toilet replacement in Townsend?
For most homes, labor to remove the old toilet, set a new wax or rubber seal, install the replacement unit, reconnect the supply line, and haul away debris runs between $275 and $425. The cost of the new fixture itself can range from about $200 for a standard gravity-flush model to $1,200 or more for smart or pressure-assisted units. We give written quotes upfront and can offer several price tiers to match your budget.
How long does the installation process take and will my water be shut off?
A straight swap generally takes 2–3 hours from start to finish. We shut off the local stop valve at the wall for most of the work, so water service to the rest of your home remains uninterrupted. If the shut-off valve is corroded and needs replacement, we may briefly turn off the main, but the total downtime is rarely more than 30 minutes.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets really worth the investment?
Yes. A modern 1.28 gpf WaterSense-certified toilet can save up to 13,000 gallons of water per year for a family of four compared with a 3.5 gpf 1990s unit, cutting your water bill by roughly $90 annually. Dual-flush models provide an even lower 0.8 gpf option for liquids. In addition, Delaware often runs utility rebates of $25–$75 for WaterSense fixtures, trimming the payback period to as little as two years.
Do you dispose of the old toilet and is there an environmental fee?
We remove and responsibly recycle or dispose of your old fixture at no extra charge. Porcelain bowls and tanks are crushed for use as aggregate in road base, while metal hardware is separated for scrap recycling. There are no hidden environmental surcharges; everything is included in the price we quote.
