FAQs
What qualifies as a “water-smart” toilet upgrade in Dayton?
A water-smart toilet is one that meets or exceeds EPA WaterSense standards, using no more than 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) and often featuring dual-flush or pressure-assist technology. These models reduce water use by 20–60 % compared with older 3.5 – 6.0 GPF toilets commonly found in pre-1994 homes throughout Dayton.
How much water and money can I expect to save by replacing my old toilet?
Swapping out a single 3.5 GPF toilet for a WaterSense 1.28 GPF model saves roughly 16,000 gallons of water per year for a family of four, cutting the typical water bill by $90–$110 annually. Upgrading multiple bathrooms compounds those savings and helps extend the life of your well or septic system, if you have one.
Are there rebates or incentives available for water-efficient toilets in the Dayton area?
Yes. Dayton’s Division of Water periodically partners with the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission to offer $50–$100 rebates for WaterSense-labeled toilets purchased and installed in single-family homes. Utility customers in surrounding suburbs (Kettering, Centerville, Huber Heights, etc.) may have similar programs. We can help you verify current incentives and file the necessary paperwork when we install your new fixture.
What types of water-smart toilets do you install?
We carry and install high-efficiency single-flush, dual-flush, and pressure-assist toilets from trusted brands such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber. Our team will evaluate your bathroom’s rough-in, plumbing stack, and floor support to recommend the best fit for performance, comfort height, and style.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will I be without a bathroom all day?
Most replacements are completed in 2–3 hours, including removal of the old unit, flange inspection, wax-ring replacement, and leak testing. Your bathroom will be out of service only during that window, and we schedule installations at times that minimize disruption to your household or business.
What happens to my old toilet, and is it recycled?
We haul away your old fixture at no additional charge. Porcelain components are delivered to a regional construction-materials recycler that crushes them for use as road-bed aggregate, keeping bulky waste out of Montgomery County landfills. Metal bolts and tanks parts are separated for scrap recycling as well.
