FAQs
What is a two-piece toilet and why might I choose it over a one-piece model?
A two-piece toilet has a separate tank and bowl that are bolted together during installation. They are the most common style in Athens homes because they cost less to manufacture and ship, offer a wider range of heights and rough-in sizes, and make it easier to replace just the tank or bowl if one part fails. Modern two-piece units are just as efficient and durable as one-piece models, so they provide excellent value when you want to upgrade without overspending.
How long does a typical two-piece toilet replacement take in Athens?
For a straightforward, like-for-like swap, our licensed plumbers can remove the old toilet, inspect the flange and supply line, install the new unit, and test for leaks in about 90 minutes. If the floor flange is damaged, the wax ring needs extra sealing, or you opt for additional features such as a bidet seat, the visit can extend to 2–3 hours. We schedule in two-hour arrival windows and keep most common parts on the truck to avoid delays.
Do I need a permit to replace my toilet in Athens-Clarke County, and do you handle the paperwork?
The Athens-Clarke County Building Inspection Division does not require a permit for a like-for-like fixture replacement when the existing plumbing rough-in is unchanged. However, if the job involves moving the drain, altering supply lines inside the wall, or vent re-routing, a minor residential plumbing permit is needed. Our team verifies code requirements during the initial call, secures any necessary permits, and schedules inspections so you stay fully compliant without the hassle.
How much water can I save by upgrading to a modern two-piece toilet?
Older toilets installed before 1994 can use 3.5–7 gallons per flush (gpf). All new toilets sold in Georgia must flush at 1.6 gpf or less, and WaterSense-certified models use just 1.28 gpf or dual-flush options of 1.1/1.6 gpf. Replacing one 1980s toilet with a WaterSense unit can save an Athens household up to 13,000 gallons of water and roughly $110 on utility bills each year, according to EPA calculations.
Will your plumbers dispose of my old toilet and make sure it’s recycled properly?
Absolutely. After removal we bag the old toilet to prevent debris in your home, load it onto our truck, and transport it to the designated construction-waste area of the Athens-Clarke County landfill. Porcelain is crushed and reused as road-base material whenever possible. This service is included in our flat-rate quote, so you don’t have to lift or haul anything.
What factors affect the cost of a two-piece toilet upgrade, and do you provide upfront estimates?
Pricing depends on the toilet model you choose, the condition of the flange and shut-off valve, any floor repairs, and optional add-ons such as comfort-height bowls, slow-close seats, or bidet attachments. Because every home is different, we offer free on-site or virtual estimates that list labor, materials, and taxes in a single no-surprise number. Senior, veteran, and Dawg Card holder discounts are available, and all installations include a one-year workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s tank-to-bowl parts warranty.
