FAQs
What are the signs that I should replace rather than repair my toilet?
Repeated clogs, cracks in the bowl or tank, constant running, wobbling at the base, dated 3.5-gpf or greater water consumption, and frequent repairs all indicate it’s more cost-effective to replace the unit. If your toilet is over 20 years old, upgrading to a modern high-efficiency model can cut water use by up to 60 % and eliminate many performance issues.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take in Birchwood?
For a straightforward swap with no flange or supply-line issues, our master plumbers typically complete the job in 60–90 minutes. If we discover subfloor damage, corroded shut-off valves, or need to relocate the rough-in, the project can extend to 3–4 hours. We’ll provide a time estimate after the initial inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets worth the investment?
Yes. Birchwood’s water rates continue to rise, and high-efficiency or dual-flush models use just 1.1–1.28 gpf—or as little as 0.8 gpf for the light flush—versus the 1.6–3.5 gpf of older fixtures. Homeowners typically save 20–30 % on annual water bills and may qualify for local utility rebates. They also reduce the environmental footprint without sacrificing flushing power, thanks to today’s pressure-assisted and advanced siphon designs.
Will a new toilet fit my existing plumbing and bathroom layout?
Most homes in Birchwood have a standard 12-inch rough-in from the finished wall to the flange bolts. We stock toilets in 10-, 12-, and 14-inch rough-ins and offer compact elongated bowls, chair-height options, and skirted designs to accommodate different spaces and accessibility needs. During our free on-site assessment, we verify measurements, flange condition, and shut-off location to ensure a seamless fit before we order or install any unit.
Do your plumbers handle removal and disposal of my old toilet?
Absolutely. Our full-service replacement includes turning off the water, draining and unbolting the old unit, inspecting and cleaning the flange, installing a new wax ring or rubber seal, and disposing of the old toilet in accordance with Birchwood waste regulations. We leave the workspace clean and ready for immediate use.
What does a toilet upgrade cost and what factors affect the price?
In Birchwood, basic replacements start around $450—including a quality standard-height toilet, parts, labor, and disposal. High-efficiency, comfort-height, skirted, or smart bidet toilets range from $650 to $2,500 depending on brand, flushing technology, seat features, and warranty. Additional costs may arise if we must replace a damaged flange ($60-$160), move the rough-in, or repair subflooring. We provide transparent, upfront quotes so there are no surprises.
