FAQs
How do I know if my toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Repeated clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running, worn interior components, and high water bills are common signs it’s time for a full replacement. In Flintville, many homes still use 3.5-gallon models from the 1990s; upgrading to a modern 1.28-gallon unit can reduce water use by up to 60 %. Our licensed plumbers will inspect the fixture, evaluate its mechanical condition and water efficiency, and provide an honest recommendation whether a repair or a new unit is the more cost-effective long-term choice.
What types of high-efficiency or water-saving toilets do you install in Flintville?
We carry WaterSense-certified single-flush, dual-flush, and pressure-assisted toilets from leading brands such as Kohler, Toto, and American Standard. Options include skirted bowls for easy cleaning, ultra-quiet gravity flush systems, and pressure-assist models ideal for older homes with sluggish drain lines. All meet Tennessee plumbing code requirements and include manufacturer warranties plus our own workmanship guarantee.
Do I need a permit in Flintville to replace my toilet, and will your plumbers handle it?
For a straightforward “like-for-like” replacement, the City of Flintville typically does not require a separate plumbing permit. However, if the job involves moving the toilet flange, relocating supply lines, or altering any portion of the DWV (drain-waste-vent) system, a permit and inspection are mandatory. Our licensed plumbers stay current with Lincoln County and Tennessee state codes, pull any required permits on your behalf, and coordinate the inspection so you remain fully compliant.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off all day?
A standard replacement—including removal of the old unit, inspection of the flange, installation of a new wax or waxless seal, leveling, and hookup—usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours. We only turn off the water supply to the toilet, not to the entire house, and it is typically off for less than 30 minutes. More complex upgrades that involve flange repair or flooring work can extend the job to half a day; we’ll advise you beforehand so you can plan accordingly.
Can you upgrade my bathroom to an ADA-compliant or comfort-height toilet?
Yes. We supply and install ADA-compliant 17-19-inch bowl height toilets (sometimes marketed as “comfort-height” or “right-height” models). These fixtures make sitting and standing easier for seniors, tall individuals, and anyone with mobility limitations. We can also add ADA-approved grab bars, lever-style flush handles, and soft-close seats to create a fully accessible bathroom space while ensuring all hardware is anchored into blocking that meets code.
What does a toilet replacement cost in Flintville and what factors affect the price?
For most projects, total investment ranges from $425 to $1,100, which includes removal, disposal, a new WaterSense-rated toilet, wax seal, supply line, and professional installation. Costs vary based on brand/model, one-piece vs. two-piece design, pressure-assist technology, seating upgrades, and any flange or subfloor repairs discovered once the old unit is lifted. We provide up-front, itemized estimates and back every installation with a one-year labor warranty plus the manufacturer’s parts warranty.
