FAQs
What makes an eco-friendly toilet different from a standard toilet?
Eco-friendly, or high-efficiency, toilets are engineered to use significantly less water per flush—typically 1.28 gpf (gallons per flush) or less—compared with older 3.5–5 gpf models. They achieve full waste removal through improved bowl design, larger trapways, and pressure-assisted or dual-flush technology. The result is the same or better performance with up to 60 % less water use, helping Georgetown homeowners reduce both their environmental footprint and monthly water bills.
How much water and money can I expect to save by switching to a high-efficiency toilet in Georgetown?
If your home still has a 3.5 gpf toilet and you replace it with a 1.28 gpf model, you save about 2.22 gallons per flush. For an average household that flushes 20–25 times a day, that equates to roughly 16,000–20,000 gallons saved per year. At Georgetown’s current average residential water rate of about $5.30 per 1,000 gallons, you could see annual savings of $85–$105—paying back the cost of the new fixture in just a few years while conserving a precious local resource.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Georgetown for installing water-saving plumbing fixtures?
Yes. Georgetown Water Utility periodically offers rebates to encourage water conservation. Currently, homeowners can receive up to a $100 credit per qualifying WaterSense-labeled toilet, with a limit of two per household and submission of proof of purchase and installation. Additional incentives may be available through the Texas Water Development Board or seasonal city conservation programs, so we always help customers prepare the proper paperwork and check the latest rebate schedules before installation.
Can you replace my existing toilet without major alterations to my bathroom?
In most cases, absolutely. We select eco-friendly toilets with rough-in dimensions (the distance from the wall to the floor drain) that match your existing setup—usually 10", 12", or 14"—so the new unit bolts directly to the current flange. We also verify clearance, shut-off valve position, and floor condition beforehand. Unless your bathroom has unusual plumbing, the swap is a straightforward fixture replacement that requires no tile demolition or piping reroute, keeping costs and downtime low.
What happens to my old toilet and plumbing fixtures after you remove them?
Sustainability doesn’t end at installation. We transport removed porcelain toilets to a regional recycling facility where they are crushed and repurposed as road-base aggregate or construction fill. Metal components, supply lines, and hardware are separated for scrap recycling. Any non-recyclable materials are disposed of in accordance with Williamson County waste regulations, ensuring your upgrade generates as little landfill waste as possible.
How long does a typical eco-friendly toilet replacement take, and will my water service be disrupted?
A single standard replacement in Georgetown generally takes 60–90 minutes, including removal, flange inspection, installation, caulking, and leak testing. During that window, water service is shut off only at the toilet’s angle stop, so the rest of your home remains fully functional. For multiple bathroom upgrades or additional fixture replacements (e.g., low-flow faucets or showerheads), budget two to four hours total. We schedule all work at your convenience and leave the workspace spotless.
