FAQs
What are the most common reasons homeowners in White Pine choose to upgrade or replace their toilets?
The top reasons we see include chronic leaks or cracks in the tank/bowl, frequent clogs caused by dated flush technology, visible porcelain wear that makes cleaning difficult, and the desire for better water efficiency. Many residents also upgrade during bathroom remodels to improve comfort (taller ADA-height bowls or bidet seats) and to raise property value with a modern look.
What types of high-quality toilet materials and brands do you recommend and why?
We primarily install vitreous china toilets from leading brands such as TOTO, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber. Vitreous china is kiln-fired at high temperatures, giving it a dense, non-porous glaze that resists staining and bacterial growth. For customers wanting extra durability, we also offer stainless-steel-lined commercial models. All models we carry meet or exceed EPA WaterSense criteria and come with robust manufacturer warranties.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off the whole time?
Most standard replacements are completed in 1.5–2 hours. We turn off the supply only to the toilet being replaced, so the rest of your home’s plumbing remains functional. Water to the bathroom fixture itself is off for about 60–90 minutes while we remove the old unit, inspect and prep the flange, set a new wax or rubber seal, anchor the new toilet, connect the supply line, and perform leak tests.
Can a new high-efficiency toilet really reduce my water bill?
Absolutely. Older toilets can use 3.5–7 gallons per flush (gpf). The WaterSense models we install use 1.28 gpf or less and often feature dual-flush options. For a household of four, this can translate to 13,000–16,000 gallons of water saved per year—often cutting annual water costs by $100 or more, depending on local rates.
Do you handle removal and environmentally responsible disposal of my old toilet?
Yes. Our quoted price includes disconnecting, removing, and hauling away the old toilet. Where possible, we separate metal parts for recycling and deliver porcelain pieces to construction-material recycling centers that crush and reuse them in road base or new ceramic products, keeping bulky waste out of White Pine landfills.
What does a toilet replacement cost in White Pine and are there warranties or financing options?
Pricing depends on the model selected and any flange or subfloor repairs needed. Most standard replacements range from $475–$950, which includes the new toilet, parts, labor, and disposal. All toilets carry a manufacturer’s limited lifetime or 10-year warranty on vitreous china and a 1–5-year warranty on internal components. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. We also offer zero-interest financing for qualified homeowners through a local credit union partner, making it easier to upgrade right away.
