FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a dual-flush toilet in Clinton?
Dual-flush toilets offer two flush options—one for liquid waste and one for solid waste—reducing water use by up to 60 % compared with older 3.5-gallon models common in many Clinton homes. This translates into lower monthly water bills, conservation of municipal water resources, and compliance with New Jersey’s current plumbing code, which requires high-efficiency fixtures for new installations.
How much water and money can I save each year by switching to a dual-flush unit?
A typical family of four can save roughly 15,000–20,000 gallons of water annually. At Clinton’s average residential water rate of about $0.007 per gallon, that equates to $105–$140 in yearly savings. Over the 10- to 15-year lifespan of a quality toilet, those savings can easily exceed the upfront cost of the upgrade.
Can my existing toilet be converted to dual-flush, or do I need a full replacement?
Some older toilets can accept aftermarket dual-flush conversion kits, but the overall performance and water savings are limited by the original bowl and tank design. For maximum efficiency—and to meet the current 1.28-gpf (gallons per flush) solid-waste standard—most Clinton homeowners opt for a full replacement. Our licensed plumbers can inspect your existing unit and advise on the most cost-effective option.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Clinton?
Yes. The Town of Clinton follows New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC) regulations. A minor plumbing permit is required whenever a fixture is replaced, including toilets. We handle the permit application, schedule the inspection with the local building department, and ensure the installation passes all code requirements.
How long does a professional dual-flush installation take, and will my bathroom be out of service?
A standard replacement generally takes about 1.5–2 hours, including removal of the old toilet, minor flange repairs, and installation of the new dual-flush model. Your bathroom will be unavailable only during that window, and we fully test for leaks and proper operation before leaving.
What maintenance is required to keep a dual-flush toilet working efficiently?
Maintenance is minimal: periodically clean the flush buttons to prevent mineral buildup, check the fill valve and flapper seal every 12–18 months, and use non-abrasive cleaners to avoid damaging the dual-flush mechanism. Because Clinton’s water has moderate hardness, we also recommend installing a simple in-tank treatment puck or scheduling an annual service visit to keep internal parts free of scale and operating at peak efficiency.
