FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running, and mounting repair bills are all indicators that replacement is more cost-effective. In Georgetown’s older homes, toilets installed before 1994 can consume up to 3–5 gallons per flush; upgrading to today’s 1.28 gpf or dual-flush models can cut water use by roughly 60 %, saving money and helping meet Texas water-conservation goals.
What types of high-efficiency toilets (HETs) do you recommend for Georgetown homes?
We typically recommend WaterSense-certified single-flush 1.28 gpf models, pressure-assisted units for households that struggle with frequent clogs, and dual-flush options (0.8 gpf for liquids/1.28 gpf for solids) that give you control over water use. For remodels that aim for maximum comfort, we can install skirted bowls, chair-height seating, soft-close lids, and bidet combinations. All recommended brands are backed by strong warranties and readily available replacement parts in Central Texas.
What factors affect the cost of a toilet replacement in Georgetown?
Pricing is determined by the toilet style (gravity, pressure-assist, wall-hung, smart bidet), rough-in distance (10", 12", or 14"), floor or flange repairs, shut-off valve upgrades, disposal fees for the old fixture, and any city permit fees. On average, our customers invest $450–$1,100 for a basic HET installation and $1,200–$3,500 for high-end smart toilets. We provide up-front written estimates so there are no surprises.
Do I need a permit to replace a toilet in Georgetown?
For a straight 1-for-1 swap with no drain line alterations, the City of Georgetown does not require a plumbing permit. However, if we need to move the flange, change venting, or modify the water supply line behind the wall, a permit and inspection are required. Our licensed plumbers handle the paperwork, schedule inspections, and ensure all work meets the latest International Plumbing Code and local amendments.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take from start to finish?
A standard replacement normally takes 1.5–2 hours on site: 20 minutes for shut-down and removal, 25 minutes for flange inspection and wax ring placement, 30 minutes to set and level the new bowl, and 15–30 minutes for tank assembly, connection, and testing. If flange repairs or subfloor work are needed, add 1–3 hours. Because we stock common parts on our trucks, most jobs are completed in a single visit.
What kind of maintenance do you recommend after upgrading my toilet?
Use only non-abrasive cleaners, avoid drop-in tank tablets that can degrade rubber seals, and inspect the supply line and shut-off valve yearly. Flush a cup of white vinegar monthly to keep jets clear of Georgetown’s hard-water mineral buildup. For dual-flush or smart toilets, change batteries or clean the sensor screen every six months. Our installations include a 1-year labor warranty and an optional annual inspection program to maintain manufacturer warranties and peak efficiency.
