FAQs
When should I consider replacing my existing toilet in Elizabethton?
You should think about a replacement if your current toilet is more than 15–20 years old, constantly clogs or runs, shows cracks in the porcelain, wobbles even after tightening the bolts, or uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush. Older models can waste up to 5 gpf, so upgrading can cut water use by 60 % or more, lower your utility bills, and bring your bathroom up to current Tennessee plumbing codes.
Which water-saving toilet options do you install, and are they approved for use in Tennessee?
Our licensed plumbers install EPA WaterSense-certified single-flush, dual-flush, and pressure-assist models that use 1.28 gpf or less. All products we recommend are on the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation’s list of approved high-efficiency fixtures, so you’ll stay compliant with state and local regulations while potentially qualifying for utility rebates.
How long does a professional toilet upgrade or replacement usually take?
Most standard replacements take 60–90 minutes, including draining the old tank, removing the unit, inspecting the flange and supply line, setting the new wax (or rubber) ring, securing the new bowl, leveling, and leak testing. If subfloor repairs, flange replacement, or relocation of the rough-in is needed, the job can extend to half a day. We give you a precise timeline after our on-site assessment.
Will your plumbing team dispose of my old toilet, and is recycling an option?
Yes. As part of our turn-key service, we remove and legally dispose of the old fixture. If the porcelain is uncoated, we deliver it to a local construction-debris recycler so it can be crushed and reused as road-base material. Any remaining metal or plastic components are separated for recycling, keeping bulky waste out of Carter County landfills.
Can you install comfort-height or ADA-compliant toilets for increased accessibility?
Absolutely. We carry comfort-height (17–19 inch seat height) and fully ADA-compliant toilets with elongated bowls and lever-style flush handles. These models make sitting and standing easier for seniors, people with mobility challenges, or anyone who prefers a higher seating position. We also install grab bars and adjust the flush-valve placement as needed to meet current ADA standards.
How much does a toilet upgrade cost in Elizabethton, and what factors influence the price?
For a straightforward swap with a quality WaterSense unit, costs typically range from $450 to $750, including the fixture, new supply line, wax ring, and labor by a licensed plumber. Prices rise for specialty models (smart bidet toilets, wall-hung units), subfloor repairs, flange relocation, or adding shut-off valves. We provide an upfront, itemized quote—no hidden fees—and back our work with a one-year labor warranty plus the manufacturer’s parts warranty.
