FAQs
What modern toilet options do you offer for homeowners in Walland?
We install a full range of contemporary toilets, including single-flush and dual-flush high-efficiency models, compact elongated bowls for small spaces, skirted designs that hide the trapway, wall-mounted units, comfort-height ADA-compliant toilets, and smart toilets with bidet seats, heated seating, night-lights, and automatic flushing. We work with leading brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber so you can choose a style that matches both your décor and performance goals.
How do I know if it’s time to replace my existing toilet?
A replacement is usually recommended when you experience any of the following: • Chronic clogging or the need to use a plunger more than once a month. • Cracks in the tank or bowl—these can lead to hidden leaks and water damage. • Frequent running or other signs of worn internal parts that repairs no longer fix. • Excessive water use (older toilets can use 3–7 gallons per flush versus 1.28 gallons or less for new HET models). • Discoloration or stubborn mineral buildup that affects sanitation. • Desire for improved comfort height or updated aesthetics. If you’re unsure, our technician can inspect your current unit and provide an honest assessment.
What are the water-saving benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet?
High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons per flush or less—up to 60 % less water than pre-1994 3.5-gpf toilets. For a family of four, that can translate to roughly 13,000 gallons of water saved each year, cutting your utility bill by around $100–$150 annually. Many models also qualify for local rebates offered by Blount County utilities or TVA energy-smart programs, further offsetting the purchase price.
Can you retrofit my bathroom to accommodate a wall-mounted or smart toilet?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers evaluate your existing drain line, water supply, and wall structure to determine what modifications are required. For wall-mounted toilets, we install an in-wall carrier system anchored to the studs and reroute the waste line into the carrier. For smart toilets or bidet seats, we add a GFCI-protected electrical outlet and ensure correct water filtration and pressure. We provide detailed upfront estimates so you know the exact scope and cost before any work begins.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most standard replacements take 1.5–2 hours from arrival to cleanup. Complex retrofits, such as wall-hung or smart toilet installations, may take 4–6 hours. We only turn off the water supply to the toilet itself, not your entire home, and that shutoff typically lasts 30–45 minutes. We coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption and can install a temporary toilet if you have only one bathroom.
Do you handle permits and haul away the old toilet after installation?
Absolutely. When Walland or Blount County codes require a plumbing permit—generally for drain relocation or structural changes—we pull the permit and arrange for inspection. After installation, we remove your old toilet, recycle components when possible, and dispose of the remainder in accordance with local landfill regulations. The job site is left clean so you can enjoy your upgraded bathroom right away.
