FAQs
What is a comfort-height toilet and how does it differ from a standard toilet?
A comfort-height (also called right-height or chair-height) toilet has a bowl height of 17–19 inches from floor to seat top, roughly 2–3 inches taller than the 15-inch height of most standard models. The extra height makes it easier for users—especially seniors, taller individuals, and those with mobility challenges—to sit down and stand up, similar to the posture you have when sitting in a chair.
Are comfort-height toilets ADA-compliant for commercial or residential use in Dayton?
Most comfort-height toilets meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement of a seat height between 17 and 19 inches, making them acceptable for both commercial and residential applications. If you need full ADA compliance (for public facilities, assisted-living units, etc.), our Dayton plumbing team will verify additional specifications such as flush controls, clear floor space, and grab-bar locations to guarantee code compliance.
Will a comfort-height toilet fit in the same spot as my current toilet?
In nearly every case, yes. Comfort-height toilets use the same standard 12-inch rough-in dimension found in most Dayton homes, and the footprint is usually similar to a standard toilet. We confirm the rough-in measurement during our free on-site estimate and check clearance around vanities, doors, or walls before recommending a specific model.
How long does the upgrade or replacement process take?
A straightforward swap from a standard toilet to a comfort-height model normally takes 1½–2 hours, including removal of the old unit, wax-ring replacement, leveling, and leak testing. If you choose additional options—such as bidet seats, new water shut-off valves, or flange repairs—add 30–60 minutes. We schedule most Dayton installations for the same week you approve the estimate.
What factors influence the total cost of a comfort-height toilet installation in the Dayton area?
Pricing depends on the toilet brand (Kohler, American Standard, Toto, etc.), flushing technology (gravity, pressure-assist, dual-flush), bowl style (elongated vs. round), and any plumbing repairs needed at the flange or supply line. On average, homeowners spend $525–$925 installed. We provide a detailed, no-surprise quote that includes the toilet, disposal of the old unit, new wax ring, bolts, and labor.
Can I save water by upgrading to a comfort-height toilet?
Absolutely. Most modern comfort-height models are WaterSense-certified, using 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less compared with older 3.5–7.0 GPF toilets. Switching can cut water use for toilet flushing by up to 60%, lowering your utility bill and helping Dayton meet regional water-conservation goals.
