FAQs
What makes a toilet “efficient,” and how much water can I realistically save?
An efficient or high-efficiency toilet (HET) is certified to use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared with the older 3.5–5 gpf models still found in many Walland homes. If you flush an average of five times a day, switching to an HET can save roughly 9–15 gallons per person every day—more than 3,000–5,000 gallons a year—without sacrificing performance.
How can I tell it’s time to replace my toilet or other plumbing fixtures?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the porcelain, wobbling at the base, constantly running water, mineral-stained bowls, and rising water bills are the most common indicators. For faucets and shower valves, look for corrosion, leaks around handles, or difficulty turning the valves. If repairs have become routine or parts are obsolete, replacement is usually the most cost-effective step.
Which high-efficiency toilet and fixture options do you install in Walland?
We carry leading WaterSense-labeled brands such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Niagara. Choices include single-flush 1.28 gpf models, dual-flush 0.8/1.28 gpf models, skirted bowls for easier cleaning, and comfort-height designs. For complimentary fixtures we install low-flow faucets (1.2 gpm), showerheads (2.0 gpm or less), and touchless or lever-handle options to improve accessibility.
Will a new efficient toilet fit my existing rough-in and bathroom layout?
Yes. Before quoting, we verify your current rough-in distance (the measurement from the wall to the center of the closet flange), supply-line location, and clearance around the bowl. Today’s HETs are available in 10-, 12-, and 14-inch rough-ins, round or elongated bowls, and compact sizes for tight powder rooms. If your flange is damaged or at the wrong height, we can adjust or replace it during installation.
How long does a toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
A standard swap—removal of the old toilet, minor flange prep, installation, caulking, and testing—takes about 90 minutes. Your home’s main water supply is turned off only at the start; after the new shut-off valve and supply line are connected (15–20 minutes), water service to the rest of the house is restored. Complex jobs involving flange repair or floor shimming may add an hour.
What do efficient toilet replacements cost in the Walland area, and what warranty do you provide?
Most high-efficiency toilets we install range from $325 to $675 installed, depending on bowl style, flushing technology, and seat options. Labor alone is typically $175–$225; we’ll give you a firm, upfront price before work begins. All fixtures come with the manufacturer’s limited lifetime or 5-year warranty, and our workmanship is guaranteed for a full year. We also handle any required Blount County permits at no extra charge.
