FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the porcelain, persistent leaks at the base, repeated running or ghost-flushing, and noticeably higher water bills are strong indicators that replacement is more cost-effective than continual repairs. If your toilet is more than 20 years old, upgrading to a modern, water-efficient model can also save up to 60 % in water usage.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take for homes in Decherd?
For most standard installations, our licensed plumbers can remove the old unit, address the flange and wax ring, install the new toilet, and test for leaks in about two to three hours. Complex cases—such as damaged subflooring, flange repairs, or relocating the rough-in—can extend the job to half a day. We always give you an accurate time estimate after the initial onsite assessment.
What types of high-efficiency toilets (HETs) do you offer?
We stock and install a range of WaterSense-certified options, including dual-flush toilets (0.8 / 1.28 gpf), pressure-assisted models for powerful flushes, and skirted designs for easier cleaning. Brands we frequently recommend in Decherd include Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber. All units meet or exceed Tennessee’s plumbing code requirements and come with manufacturer warranties.
Will you dispose of my old toilet, and is there an extra fee?
Yes. As part of our full-service upgrade package, we remove and responsibly dispose of your old toilet at no additional charge. We partner with local recycling facilities to divert porcelain from landfills whenever possible.
How much does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost in the Decherd area?
Basic replacements start around $425, which includes a standard WaterSense-rated toilet, new wax ring, supply line, labor, and haul-away. Mid-range comfort-height or dual-flush models average $550–$750 installed, while premium one-piece or pressure-assisted units can reach $900+. We provide upfront, itemized quotes so you’ll know every cost before work begins.
Can upgrading my toilet really lower my monthly water bill?
Absolutely. Older toilets can use 3.5–7 gallons per flush (gpf). Modern HETs use 1.28 gpf or less, and dual-flush toilets allow even lower usage for liquid waste. For a family of four, that can translate to 10,000–15,000 gallons of water saved per year—often reducing water bills by $100 or more annually in Franklin County. The savings typically offset the cost of the upgrade within two to four years.
