FAQs
How do I know its time to replace my existing toilet?
Frequent clogs, hairline cracks in the tank or bowl, a wobbly base, constantly running water, or a toilet manufactured before 1994 (which can use 3.5 gallons per flush or more) are all strong indicators that replacement is wiser than repair. If youre noticing higher water bills or cosmetic wear that cleaning cant solve, an upgrade will improve efficiency, reliability, and appearance.
What types of toilet upgrades does Porcelain Throne Plumbing offer in Allardt?
We install gravity-flush, dual-flush, pressure-assisted, wall-hung, and comfort-height (ADA-compliant) toilets, as well as smart models with bidet functions, heated seats, and night-lights. We also offer soft-close seats and touch-free flush valves. Our technicians help you compare rough-in sizes, bowl shapes, and finishing options so your new fixture fits perfectly and matches your décor.
Will a high-efficiency toilet really save me money?
Yes. High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, cutting water use up to 60 % versus older 3.5–5 gpf models. The average Allardt household can save roughly 13,000 gallons of water and $90–$120 per year on utility bills. Many utility districts in Tennessee also offer rebates of $25–$50 for qualifying WaterSense-labeled toilets, further offsetting the upgrade cost.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
A straight swap in the same location usually takes 1.5–3 hours. We shut off only the fixtures supply valve, so water to the rest of your home stays on. If we discover flange damage or youre relocating the toilet, the job may extend a bit, but well give you a clear timeline before we start. We protect floors, haul away debris, and thoroughly test for leaks before leaving.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a toilet replacement in Allardt?
Replacing a toilet in the same spot generally doesnt require a city permit. However, if youre moving the drain, altering venting, or making structural changes, Allardts building department will require a plumbing permit and inspection. Porcelain Throne Plumbing obtains any necessary permits and schedules inspections on your behalf so you remain fully code-compliant without the paperwork headache.
Can you dispose of my old toilet and help me select the right new model?
Absolutely. We remove the old unit, recycle the porcelain whenever possible, and leave the area spotless. Before installation we measure your rough-in distance, discuss height and bowl shape preferences, review color and flush technology options, and provide an upfront, itemized quote. Our goal is to ensure you get a toilet that meets your comfort, efficiency, and budget requirements—backed by our workmanship warranty.
