FAQs

Do I need a licensed plumber to replace my toilet in Dunlap?

Yes. Tennessee plumbing codes require that any work involving potable water connections be performed by a licensed plumber. Hiring a licensed professional ensures your new toilet is installed safely, meets local code, and passes any required inspections. It also protects your manufacturer and labor warranties, which can be voided if an unlicensed installer does the work.

What are the signs that I should upgrade my toilet instead of repairing it?

Frequent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, constantly running water, and rising water bills are common indicators. If your toilet was manufactured before 1994, it can use up to 3.5–5 gallons per flush—more than double today’s 1.28 gpf high-efficiency models. Replacing an older or problem-prone toilet often costs less long-term than repeated repairs and higher water usage.

How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?

A straightforward replacement usually takes 1.5–2 hours. We shut off the supply at the fixture, so only the toilet’s water line is affected—your kitchen and other fixtures stay operational. If we need to upgrade the shut-off valve or flange, add about 30–45 minutes. At the end of the visit we turn the water back on, test for leaks, and haul away the old unit.

What types of high-efficiency or water-saving toilets do you install?

We carry WaterSense-certified models in single-flush 1.28 gpf, dual-flush 1.1/1.6 gpf, and pressure-assisted options. Comfort-height bowls (about 17" seat height), skirted designs for easier cleaning, and quiet-close lids are popular upgrades. Brands we commonly install in Dunlap include Kohler, American Standard, and Toto, but we can order and fit any model that meets local code requirements.

Can you dispose of my old toilet and ensure environmentally responsible recycling?

Absolutely. Removal and disposal are included in our standard replacement package. We separate porcelain from metal hardware and recycle eligible materials through Sequatchie County’s approved recycling facility. Any non-recyclable components are disposed of in accordance with state environmental guidelines.

How much does a toilet upgrade cost in Dunlap, and do you offer financing?

Most standard replacements range from $475–$850, which includes the new toilet, wax ring or rubber seal, supply line, labor, and disposal. Premium or smart toilets can exceed $1,500. We provide free on-site estimates and upfront, flat-rate pricing—no surprises. Financing is available for projects over $500 through our partner lending program, with approvals typically in minutes.
