FAQs
What counts as a toilet plumbing emergency, and how quickly can you respond in Chattanooga?
Any situation that stops your toilet from functioning safely or causes water damage—such as severe clogs, overflows that won’t stop, cracked bowls or tanks, and leaking supply lines—qualifies as an emergency. Our Chattanooga-based dispatch team operates around the clock and can usually have a licensed plumber at your door within 60–90 minutes of your call, even on weekends and holidays.
Are you available 24/7 for emergency toilet repairs or replacements?
Yes. We maintain a dedicated on-call crew 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it’s midnight on a Tuesday or 6 a.m. Sunday, you’ll reach a live representative who will assess your situation, give immediate safety instructions if needed, and dispatch the nearest technician.
What’s involved in upgrading my toilet to a high-efficiency model, and how long does it take?
A typical upgrade starts with a quick site inspection to verify rough-in dimensions, water pressure, and shut-off valve condition. We help you choose a WaterSense-certified toilet that meets Chattanooga plumbing codes, then drain, remove, and haul away the old unit. Installation of the new bowl, tank, wax or rubber seal, flange bolts, supply line, and seat usually takes 1.5–2 hours. A final leak and flush test ensures everything is operating at peak efficiency before we leave.
Can you replace my toilet the same day, and will you dispose of the old unit?
In most cases, yes. We keep popular standard-, chair-, and comfort-height toilets on the service trucks, so we can perform a same-day replacement right after diagnosing the problem. We also remove and recycle or legally dispose of your old toilet at no extra charge, saving you time and hassle.
How much does emergency toilet replacement cost in Chattanooga, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Pricing depends on factors like the toilet style (standard vs. smart bidet), flange repairs, and any water-damage remediation. Basic emergency replacements generally range from $350 to $650, including the new fixture. Complex jobs with subfloor or flange repairs can run higher. You’ll receive a written, flat-rate quote before work begins, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
Do you handle all required permits and code compliance for toilet replacements in Chattanooga?
Absolutely. While many simple toilet swaps don’t require a permit, certain upgrades—like relocating a toilet or installing a pressure-assist model—can trigger code requirements. Our licensed plumbers pull any necessary permits, follow the 2021 International Plumbing Code adopted by Chattanooga and Hamilton County, and schedule final inspections if required, ensuring your new toilet is fully compliant and warrantied.
