FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my toilet rather than repair it?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the bowl or tank, water pooling around the base, wobbling, constantly running water, or a toilet that was manufactured before 1994 (pre-1.6 gpf standards) are strong indicators it’s time for a full replacement. Upgrading eliminates hidden leaks, lowers water bills, and ensures compliance with current Townsend plumbing codes.
What toilet upgrade options do you offer in Townsend?
We install standard gravity-flush, pressure-assist, and dual-flush models, as well as ultra-high-efficiency toilets that use as little as 0.8 gpf. Comfort-height and ADA-compliant units, skirted designs for easier cleaning, bidet-seat compatible bowls, and a range of color/finish options are also available to match your bathroom style and needs.
Will I need a permit to replace my toilet in Townsend?
Most direct replacements do not require a building permit, but any work involving new drain lines, venting changes, or relocation of the toilet does. Our licensed plumbers handle permitting with the Townsend Building Department, ensuring your upgrade meets local code and passes inspection if one is required.
How long does a toilet replacement take?
A straightforward swap in the same location typically takes 1½–2 hours, including removal of the old unit, inspection of the flange and supply line, installation of the new toilet, leak testing, and cleanup. If flange repairs, floor leveling, or relocation are needed, the job may extend to half a day.
What factors affect the cost of a toilet upgrade?
Pricing depends on the new toilet model (standard vs. high-efficiency vs. specialty), any flange or supply line repairs, wax ring type (wax vs. wax-free), disposal fees, and whether flooring or drywall repair is required. We provide upfront, itemized quotes, and many Townsend residents qualify for water-utility rebates on WaterSense-certified toilets.
Do you haul away and recycle the old toilet?
Yes. We remove the existing toilet, separate recyclable porcelain in accordance with Delaware Solid Waste Authority guidelines, and dispose of non-recyclable parts responsibly. You won’t have to lift or transport anything—just enjoy your new, water-saving fixture.
