FAQs
What signs indicate I should replace my current toilet in Erwin?
Several red flags suggest it is time for an upgrade: recurring clogs or the need to plunge more than once a week, hairline cracks in the tank or bowl, pooling water at the base, noticeably higher water bills from an older 3.5-gallon-per-flush toilet, and difficulty finding replacement parts for discontinued models. If you experience two or more of these issues, a new, water-efficient toilet will likely save you money and prevent unexpected leaks or overflows.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take?
For a straightforward swap—removing the old unit and installing a new, similar model—our licensed plumbers in Erwin typically need 60–90 minutes. This includes draining and unbolting the old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax ring or modern seal, leveling and securing the new toilet, reconnecting the water line, and full leak testing. If flange repairs, flooring adjustments, or supply-line upgrades are required, the job may extend to 2–3 hours, but most homeowners have a fully functioning toilet the same visit.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets really worth the investment?
Yes. High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons per flush or less—roughly 20–60 % less water than older 3.5-gallon models. Dual-flush designs allow a reduced 0.8-1.0 gpf for liquid waste and a full 1.28-1.6 gpf for solids. In Erwin, where water and sewer rates have increased steadily, homeowners typically recoup the extra cost within two to three years through lower utility bills. In addition, HETs often qualify for local or manufacturer rebates, carry WaterSense certification, and improve your home’s resale appeal.
Can you retrofit my bathroom to meet ADA or comfort-height requirements?
Absolutely. Our seamless upgrade service includes evaluating clearances, grab-bar mounting points, and seat height. ADA-compliant or universal-height toilets measure 17–19 inches from floor to seat top, easing transfers for seniors, tall users, or people with limited mobility. We can also widen doorways, reinforce walls for grab bars, and install lever-style flush handles. All work is performed to current International Plumbing Code (IPC) and ADA guidelines, ensuring safety and long-term usability.
What is included in your seamless toilet upgrade and replacement package?
We provide a turnkey service: (1) on-site assessment and product recommendations tailored to your water pressure, bathroom style, and budget; (2) removal and eco-friendly disposal or recycling of the old toilet; (3) inspection and repair of the closet flange, shut-off valve, and supply line; (4) installation of a new wax or rubber seal, stainless-steel bolts, and a braided stainless supply hose; (5) precise leveling, caulking, and flush calibration; and (6) a thorough cleanup plus a written labor warranty (typically one year) and manufacturer warranty registration assistance.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Erwin, and will you handle the paperwork?
In Erwin, a simple like-for-like toilet swap inside an existing bathroom generally does not require a building permit. However, if the project involves relocating the toilet, modifying drain lines, or performing structural changes, Unicoi County Building & Zoning may mandate a plumbing permit and inspection. Our team is familiar with local codes and will advise you during the estimate. If a permit is necessary, we can secure it on your behalf, coordinate inspections, and ensure full compliance so you avoid fines and delays.
