FAQs
What does “upfront pricing” mean for my toilet upgrade or replacement?
Upfront pricing means you know the full, to-the-penny cost of the job before we pick up a wrench. After our licensed plumber inspects your existing toilet and discusses your preferences, we give you a written, flat-rate quote that covers the fixture, labor, disposal of the old toilet, and any needed parts or minor repairs. The price will not change later due to unexpected labor hours or hidden fees—guaranteed.
How can I tell if my toilet needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
A repair is usually enough for a simple leak or running fill valve, but replacement is recommended when you see frequent clogging, cracks in the bowl or tank, surface sweating that damages flooring, a wobbly base caused by flange corrosion, or water bills that keep rising despite minor fixes. If your toilet is over 20 years old, upgrading to a WaterSense-labeled model can cut water usage by up to 60 %, paying for itself in lower utility costs.
What types of high-efficiency toilets do you install in Corryton?
We stock and install a range of WaterSense and EPA-approved high-efficiency toilets, including single-flush 1.28 gpf models, dual-flush options (0.8 gpf for liquids/1.28 gpf for solids), and pressure-assisted units for homes with frequent clogging issues. Brand offerings include Kohler, American Standard, TOTO, and Gerber. We can also source comfort-height bowls, skirted designs for easy cleaning, and bidet-seat-compatible models upon request.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off all day?
A standard remove-and-replace job takes about 90 minutes to two hours from arrival to cleanup. We only shut off water at the toilet’s angle stop, so the rest of your home’s plumbing stays in service. In rare cases where the shut-off valve is seized and must be replaced, we’ll briefly turn off the main supply—usually less than 15 minutes—and always notify you first.
Are permits required for a toilet replacement in Corryton, and do you handle them?
Knox County does not require a building permit for a like-for-like toilet replacement in a single-family residence. If we relocate the drain or modify the water supply line, a plumbing permit and inspection are necessary. Our team takes care of any permitting paperwork, scheduling, and inspector walk-throughs, so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues or extra surprises.
What warranty do you offer on new toilets and installation work?
Most of the toilets we install carry a manufacturer’s limited warranty of five to ten years on china and moving parts. We add our own two-year labor warranty covering installation workmanship, wax ring seal integrity, and supply connections. If you experience any leaks, rocking, or flushing problems related to our installation within that time, we’ll return to your Corryton home and correct the issue at no cost.
