FAQs
What are the most common signs that I should replace rather than repair my toilet?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running, pooled water at the base, wobbling, or noticeably higher water bills are all indicators that a replacement makes more sense than another repair. If your toilet is more than 20 years old, upgrading to today’s high-efficiency models will typically save water—and money—while solving the underlying problems.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take?
For a straightforward swap using an existing rough-in, our Dayton Plumbing Pros technicians can remove the old unit, inspect the flange and supply line, install the new toilet, test for leaks, and haul away debris in about 1½–2 hours. If we discover flange damage, corroded shut-off valves, or flooring issues, the job may extend to 3–4 hours so we can make proper repairs and leave you with a code-compliant, leak-free installation.
What water-saving options are available when upgrading my toilet?
Modern toilets include 1.28 gpf (gallons per flush) high-efficiency toilets (HETs), dual-flush models that use about 0.8 gpf for liquids and 1.6 gpf for solids, and pressure-assisted units that clear the bowl with less water. These options meet or exceed EPA WaterSense standards and can reduce household toilet water usage by up to 60 %. We can walk you through brands and styles that balance performance, comfort height, and bowl shape with maximum savings.
Will a new toilet fit my current rough-in and plumbing connections?
Most homes in Dayton have a 12-inch rough-in (distance from wall to flange center), which fits the majority of new toilets. If your bathroom has a 10- or 14-inch rough-in, we stock specialty models and offset flanges to ensure a perfect fit. During our free on-site estimate, we measure the rough-in, assess shut-off valve condition, and verify clearance around the bowl so you can select a unit that installs seamlessly without costly alterations.
How much does toilet replacement cost in the Dayton area?
Pricing depends on the toilet you choose and any needed flange or valve repairs. For a standard WaterSense-rated toilet and straightforward install, most customers invest $475–$650, which includes removal, new wax ring or flange seal, supply line, installation labor, and disposal. Premium comfort-height, skirted, or smart toilets start around $750 and can exceed $1,500. We provide firm, written estimates up front so there are no surprises.
Do I need a permit or inspection to replace a toilet in Dayton, Ohio?
In most cases, a like-for-like toilet replacement that does not alter drain lines or relocate fixtures is considered minor maintenance and does not require a permit. If the project involves moving the toilet, modifying the waste stack, or making structural changes, the Montgomery County building department will require a plumbing permit and inspection. Our team handles any necessary permitting and ensures your installation meets the latest Ohio Residential Code and local guidelines.
