FAQs
How can upgrading my toilet lower my monthly utility bills in Decherd?
Modern high-efficiency and WaterSense®-certified toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared to older 3.5- to 5-gallon models. For a family of four, that reduction can save 2,000–4,000 gallons of water a year—often cutting your water bill by 15-25%. Because Decherd’s sewer charges are tied to water usage, those savings apply to both water and sewer portions of your bill.
What types of high-efficiency toilets do you install?
We install gravity-flush, pressure-assisted, and dual-flush WaterSense® toilets from reputable brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber. Dual-flush models allow users to choose between a 0.8-gallon flush for liquids and a 1.28-gallon flush for solids, providing maximum flexibility and savings without sacrificing performance.
Will a low-flow or dual-flush toilet clog more often?
No. Today’s high-efficiency toilets are engineered with larger glazed trapways and optimized bowl geometry to move waste effectively with less water. In fact, independent MaP (Maximum Performance) testing shows many models can clear 1,000+ grams of waste in a single flush—far exceeding typical household needs.
Do I need a permit to replace a toilet in Decherd, and will you handle it?
In Decherd and the greater Franklin County area, simple toilet replacements usually fall under ‘minor plumbing repairs’ and do not require a city permit. If additional drain or vent modifications are necessary, we’ll let you know ahead of time and secure any required permits with the local building department on your behalf.
What happens to my old toilet after replacement?
We remove the existing fixture, inspect the flange and wax seal, and haul the old toilet away. Whenever possible, porcelain components are recycled into aggregate for road base or new ceramic products, keeping bulky waste out of Franklin County landfills.
How long does a typical toilet upgrade appointment take, and what is the warranty?
Most straightforward replacements take 1.5–2 hours, including removal, flange inspection, installation, leak testing, and cleanup. Complex installations or flange repairs may add extra time. We provide a one-year labor warranty, and most manufacturers offer a 5- to 10-year parts warranty on the china and internal components.
