FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my current toilet?
Older toilets often use 3–7 gallons per flush, are prone to clogging, and can develop porcelain cracks or leaking seals. A modern WaterSense-certified unit uses 1.28 gallons or less, reduces monthly water bills by up to 30 %, and delivers a stronger, quieter flush. Upgrading also gives you the chance to add comfort-height seating, soft-close lids, or bidet functions for improved accessibility and hygiene.
What toilet models and flushing technologies do you install in Blountville?
We work with all major brands—Kohler, American Standard, TOTO, Gerber, and Mansfield—and offer gravity-flush, pressure-assisted, dual-flush, and skirted one-piece designs. During our on-site visit we measure your rough-in distance, review your water pressure, and recommend the best bowl shape (elongated or round) and tank style to fit your bathroom’s layout and budget.
How long does a typical toilet replacement appointment take?
Most standard swaps in Blountville take 1½–2 hours from shut-off to final cleanup. This includes draining and removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting the new bowl, reconnecting the water line, and test-flushing several cycles. If the flange is damaged or we have to correct sub-floor rot, the job can extend to half a day, but we’ll give you a time estimate before work begins.
Will I need a permit or inspection for a toilet replacement in Blountville?
For a like-for-like replacement inside an existing bathroom, the Town of Blountville and Sullivan County typically do not require a permit. If we relocate the fixture, add new drain lines, or make structural floor changes, a plumbing permit and inspection may be needed. Our licensed technicians handle all necessary paperwork and schedule any required county inspections for you.
What does a new toilet installation cost?
Costs vary with the toilet model and any flange or flooring repairs. On average our customers spend $185–$275 for labor and basic materials, plus $250–$650 for the toilet itself. A premium bidet-integrated unit can exceed $1,000. We provide a written, no-obligation quote that itemizes fixture price, labor, and tax so you know the full investment before we start.
Do you haul away the old toilet and recycle materials?
Yes. Our service includes draining, bagging, and safely removing the old fixture from your property. Porcelain is transported to a local recycling facility where it is crushed for roadbed aggregate, and metal parts such as tank bolts and supply lines are sorted for scrap recycling. This keeps bulky waste out of Sullivan County landfills and is included in our standard installation package.
