FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a water-saving toilet in Crab Orchard?
Older toilets installed before 1994 typically use 3.5–7 gallons per flush (gpf). Modern WaterSense-certified models use 1.28 gpf or less, cutting water consumption by up to 70 %. That translates into lower utility bills, reduced strain on Crab Orchard’s water infrastructure, and a smaller environmental footprint without sacrificing flushing power.
How much money can I expect to save by switching to a high-efficiency toilet?
In Cumberland County the average combined water and sewer rate is about $0.01 per gallon. Replacing a single 3.5 gpf toilet that is flushed 5 times a day with a 1.28 gpf unit saves roughly 4 gallons daily—about 1,460 gallons per year. At current rates that’s $15–$20 per toilet, per year. Homes with multiple bathrooms or higher usage see proportionally larger savings, often paying back the cost of the upgrade within 3–5 years.
What types of water-saving toilets do you offer and how do I choose the right one?
We stock gravity-fed high-efficiency toilets (HETs), dual-flush models (0.8/1.28 gpf), and pressure-assisted units for commercial or large-family use. Choice depends on budget, desired flush performance, noise tolerance, and bowl style (elongated vs. round). During our free in-home assessment we measure your rough-in, discuss preferences, and present side-by-side water-usage data so you can make an informed decision.
Will a new high-efficiency toilet fit my existing plumbing and bathroom layout?
Most homes in Crab Orchard have the standard 12-inch rough-in, and manufacturers design HETs to match that footprint. If you have a 10- or 14-inch rough-in or a specialty floor flange, we can order the appropriate offset model or install an adapter. Our technicians also check water-supply height, shut-off valve condition, and floor levelness to guarantee a seamless fit and leak-free operation.
Do you handle removal of the old toilet and local permit requirements?
Yes. We disconnect, drain, and haul away your old fixture for eco-friendly disposal or recycling. Toilet replacements generally do not require a building permit in Crab Orchard, but if we relocate the flange or modify drainage lines, we’ll secure the necessary plumbing permits and schedule any required county inspections at no extra hassle to you.
How long does installation take and what warranties do you provide?
A straightforward toilet replacement takes about 90 minutes; complex jobs involving flange repair or flooring adjustments may run 2–3 hours. We back our workmanship with a 1-year labor warranty, and most manufacturers offer 10-year parts coverage on porcelain and 3-year coverage on internal components. Should any issue arise, one call brings us back to correct it promptly.
