FAQs
How do I know if my toilet needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
Several warning signs point toward replacement rather than another repair: cracks in the porcelain bowl or tank, chronic leaking around the base, repeated clogs that a professional has already cleared, wobbling caused by a deteriorated flange, or an older model (15+ years) that uses 3–5 gallons per flush. In these situations, upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency toilet often saves money on water bills and eliminates ongoing service calls.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet in Calhoun?
High-efficiency and WaterSense-certified toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush, which can reduce household water usage by up to 30 %. Lower consumption means smaller monthly utility bills and eligibility for occasional local rebates. Newer toilets also feature glazed trapways and powerful flushing technology that minimizes clogs, while comfort-height options improve accessibility for children, seniors, and people with limited mobility.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off during the process?
For a straightforward swap in the same location, our certified technicians usually need 60–90 minutes. Your home’s water supply is shut off only at the fixture angle stop for about 15 minutes while the old toilet is removed and the new one is connected. We test-flush before restoring full water pressure, so any disruption to the rest of the house is minimal.
Are permits required for a toilet replacement in Calhoun, and do your technicians handle them?
If the project is simply removing an old toilet and installing a new one on the existing drain, Calhoun’s building department does not require a permit. However, if we must relocate the drain line, move the supply, or make structural changes, Gordon County plumbing codes mandate a permit and inspection. Our office handles all paperwork and schedules any inspections so homeowners never have to navigate the process themselves.
Can you install specialty toilets such as comfort-height, wall-hung, or bidet-seat compatible models?
Yes. Our technicians are factory-trained to install all major brands and configurations, including ADA/comfort-height units, dual-flush models, pressure-assist systems, wall-hung carriers, and smart toilets with integrated bidet seats. During our on-site consultation we verify rough-in dimensions, flange type, and electrical outlet placement to ensure the specialty toilet you choose will fit and perform correctly.
What should I do to prepare my bathroom before your technicians arrive, and what happens to the old toilet?
Please clear the area surrounding the toilet of personal items, rugs, and decor so our team can lay drop cloths and access the shutoff valve quickly. If you have pets, keep them secured in another room. After installation, we haul away the old toilet, recycle any metal parts, and dispose of the porcelain in accordance with local waste regulations. We finish by caulking the base, sanitizing the work area, and providing care instructions for your new fixture.
