FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet in Decatur needs to be upgraded or replaced?
Frequent clogs, visible cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running water, wobbling at the base, and noticeably higher water bills are all indicators that your toilet may be past its prime. Older toilets (15–20+ years) typically use 3–5 gallons per flush, so upgrading to a modern unit can cut water use by up to 70 %. If repairs are becoming more frequent or parts are hard to find, replacement is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Which types of high-efficiency toilets do you install and what are their benefits?
We install a full range of EPA WaterSense-certified toilets, including single-flush and dual-flush gravity models, pressure-assist toilets, and comfort-height elongated bowls for improved accessibility. Options like skirted designs simplify cleaning, while dual-flush units let you choose between 0.8 gpf (partial flush) and 1.28 gpf (full flush). These fixtures not only conserve water but often qualify for local rebates offered by the City of Decatur and Georgia utilities, lowering your upfront cost.
How much does a typical toilet replacement cost in Decatur?
Costs vary based on the toilet style, rough-in size, and any additional plumbing work required. Most standard replacements range from $450–$900, which includes the new WaterSense toilet, wax ring or rubber seal, supply line, haul-away of the old unit, and professional installation. Premium pressure-assist or smart bidet models can run $1,000–$2,500. We provide a firm, written quote after an on-site assessment, and there are no hidden fees.
Do I need a permit to replace my toilet, and will you handle any required paperwork?
In the City of Decatur, simple like-for-like toilet swaps typically don’t need a plumbing permit, but upgrades that involve changing the drain line, relocating the fixture, or modifying the vent system may. When a permit is required, we take care of the application, inspection scheduling, and code compliance, saving you time and ensuring the work meets Georgia plumbing standards.
How long does the replacement process take, and will my water be shut off all day?
A straightforward replacement usually takes 60–90 minutes once we’re on site. We only shut off the water supply to your bathroom during the actual swap (about 20–30 minutes). If flange repairs, subfloor fixes, or old cast-iron pipe adjustments are needed, the job can extend to 3–4 hours. We always explain the timeline in advance and restore full water service before we leave.
What warranties or guarantees come with your toilet upgrade service?
All toilets we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 10 years on porcelain and 1–3 years on internal parts. On top of that, Dependable Flush Plumbing backs every installation with a 2-year labor warranty covering leaks, leveling issues, and connection failures. If any problem related to our workmanship arises during that period, we’ll fix it at no charge, giving you peace of mind long after the job is done.
