FAQs
What types of toilet upgrades do your certified plumbers offer in Athens?
Our team can install high-efficiency dual-flush toilets, comfort-height models, touchless flushing systems, wall-hung toilets for space saving, and smart toilets with bidet functions. We also handle basic replacements of standard gravity-flush units.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
For most homes in Athens, a straight swap of an existing toilet for a similar style takes 1½–2 hours, including removal, flange inspection, installation, leak testing, and site clean-up. Upgrades that involve relocating the drain line, adding electrical outlets for smart features, or repairing damaged subflooring can extend the job to half a day or more.
Do you dispose of the old toilet, and is there an extra fee?
Yes. We remove the old fixture, recycle appropriate materials, and dispose of the rest in compliance with Athens–Clarke County regulations. Standard disposal is included in our quoted price. Heavier cast-iron or one-piece toilets may carry a small surcharge, which we clearly itemize before any work begins.
How much water and money can I save with a high-efficiency toilet (HET)?
A modern HET uses 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) versus the older 3.5–5 gpf models. For a family of four averaging five flushes per person per day, this can cut annual water use by about 6,000–8,000 gallons, saving roughly $60–$80 on Athens water bills each year—often paying back the upgrade within 3–4 years.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Athens?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a current Georgia state plumbing license, has completed specialized training in toilet installation, and carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We also pull any required city permits and coordinate inspection when codes mandate them.
Can you provide emergency service if my only toilet fails?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response within Athens and surrounding communities. If your sole bathroom becomes unusable, we prioritize same-day solutions—either a rapid repair or a temporary replacement—so you’re never left without a functioning toilet overnight.
