FAQs
What does “mess-free” mean when you upgrade or replace my toilet?
Our technicians use protective shoe covers, drop cloths, and a specialized vacuum-assisted removal system to keep water, wax, and debris contained. Floors, walls, and adjacent fixtures are covered before we start, and all waste materials are bagged at the source so nothing is tracked through your Etowah home. When we leave, the only evidence of our visit is a brand-new, functioning toilet.
How long will a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
Most standard change-outs are completed in 90 minutes to two hours. This includes shutting off the water, draining the old toilet, removing it, inspecting the flange and supply line, installing the new unit, testing for leaks, and cleaning the work area. If flange repair or sub-floor work is needed, we’ll tell you on-site and explain any added time before proceeding.
Do you remove and dispose of my old toilet, and is there an extra charge?
Yes. Hauling away and environmentally responsible disposal of your old toilet is included in every mess-free upgrade package. We recycle porcelain whenever possible and comply with Etowah and McMinn County waste regulations. There are no hidden fees for disposal—everything is included in the quote you receive up front.
Can you help me choose a new toilet that meets water-saving or ADA requirements?
Absolutely. We carry WaterSense-certified models that use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush, dual-flush options, and comfort-height/ADA-compliant toilets. During our free pre-installation consultation, we’ll discuss your household’s needs (mobility, bowl shape preference, color, flush technology, and budget) and present curated recommendations that fit both local plumbing codes and your preferences.
Will replacing my old toilet really lower my water bill?
In many cases, yes. Older toilets can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush and often develop hidden leaks that waste hundreds of gallons a month. Modern WaterSense toilets use 1.28 gallons or less. For a family of four flushing five times per person daily, that can translate to more than 10,000 gallons saved per year—often cutting toilet-related water costs by 40–60%.
What areas around Etowah do you serve, and how soon can I schedule?
We serve all of Etowah plus Englewood, Riceville, Athens, and surrounding McMinn County communities. In most cases we can schedule a same-week appointment; emergency replacements can usually be handled within 24 hours. Call, text, or book online, and our customer care team will confirm a two-hour arrival window that works for you.
