FAQs
When should I replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Consider replacement if your toilet is more than 20 years old, needs frequent repairs (flapper, fill valve, leaks), has a cracked bowl or tank, wobbles due to flange damage, or consumes more than 1.6 gallons per flush. Upgrading can lower water bills, eliminate recurring repair costs, and bring your bathroom up to current plumbing codes in Walland.
What upgrade options are available for new toilets in Walland?
Homeowners can choose from standard gravity-flush, pressure-assisted, dual-flush, comfort-height (ADA-compliant), skirted, wall-hung, and smart bidet toilets. High-efficiency models use 1.28 gpf or less, and some smart units offer heated seats, automatic flushing, night-lights, and deodorizers. We’ll review features, warranty, and local water-saving rebates to find the best fit for your space and budget.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off?
Most single-toilet replacements take 1½–2 hours. We isolate the supply to that fixture only, so whole-house water shutdown is rarely needed. Your bathroom will be ready for use soon after installation; we test for leaks, secure the toilet, and seal the base before restoring water service.
What happens during the final installation process and how should I prepare?
Our licensed plumber drains and removes the old toilet, inspects the flange, replaces the wax or rubber seal, sets and levels the new bowl, connects the tank and supply line, tests flush performance, and caulks the base. Please clear a path from the entrance to the bathroom, remove items around the toilet, and ensure a standard 110 V outlet is available if you’re installing a smart toilet with powered features.
Do I need a permit in Walland for a toilet replacement, and who handles disposal of the old unit?
Simple “like-for-like” swaps usually don’t require a permit in Blount County. However, relocating a toilet or altering drain lines does. We confirm local code requirements, secure any necessary permits, and provide documentation upon completion. We also haul away and recycle or dispose of your old toilet at no extra charge, keeping your home clean and clutter-free.
What does a toilet replacement cost in Walland and what affects the price?
Typical costs range from $350–$900, which includes labor, standard wax ring, supply line, and haul-away. Factors influencing price include the toilet model (basic vs. smart/bidet), any flange repairs, upgraded seals or shut-off valves, and whether flooring or drywall needs patching. We provide a detailed, upfront estimate and back our workmanship with a one-year labor warranty.
