FAQs
What makes a toilet “contemporary,” and why should I consider upgrading?
A contemporary toilet typically uses 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less, may offer dual-flush buttons, comfort-height seating, skirted bowls for easier cleaning, and optional smart features such as bidet seats or touch-free flushing. Upgrading provides stronger flush performance, up to 60 % water savings over 3.5–5 GPF older models, improved hygiene, compliance with current plumbing codes, and a refreshed bathroom look that can increase home resale value.
Do you replace toilets for both homes and businesses in Altamont?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers handle residential bathrooms as well as light-commercial locations such as offices, restaurants, and retail spaces throughout Altamont. We remove and dispose of the old fixture, inspect the flange and shut-off valve, install the new toilet to manufacturer specifications, and ensure everything meets Village of Altamont and New York State plumbing codes.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
Most replacements take 60–120 minutes once we arrive. We shut off only the fixture’s angle stop, so the rest of your home or business keeps running water. If your existing toilet lacks a working shut-off, we install a new one first. We protect flooring, test for leaks, and leave the area clean so you can use the bathroom immediately afterward.
Can a new high-efficiency or dual-flush toilet really lower my water bill?
Absolutely. Replacing a 3.5 GPF toilet with a 1.28 GPF model saves about 16,000 gallons of water per year for a family of four—roughly $110–$150 on annual water and sewer charges in the Capital District. Dual-flush units (0.8 GPF liquid / 1.28 GPF solid) save even more. Many models qualify for New York State or local utility rebates of $50–$100, which we help you process.
Do I need a permit in Altamont to replace a toilet or other plumbing fixture?
For a “like-for-like” toilet swap that does not move drain or vent piping, the Village of Altamont does not require a building permit. If we relocate the fixture, modify waste lines, or alter the vent stack, a plumbing permit and inspection are mandatory. We handle all paperwork, schedule inspections, and provide documentation so your project stays fully compliant.
Which toilet brands do you recommend, and what warranties are available?
We install Toto, Kohler, American Standard, Mansfield, and Gerber for standard fixtures, and Toto Washlet or BioBidet for integrated bidet seats or smart toilets. Most manufacturers offer 5–10 year parts warranties; we add a 1-year labor warranty covering leaks or installation issues at no cost. Extended service plans are available for commercial clients or smart-feature units.
