FAQs
How do your advanced leak-detection tools work, and why are they better than traditional methods?
We use a combination of acoustic sensors, thermal imaging cameras, and electronic pipeline locators to pinpoint hidden leaks without opening walls or digging up floors. Acoustic sensors pick up the high-frequency sound water makes when escaping pressurized lines, while thermal cameras reveal temperature differences caused by moisture. This technology is far more precise than the old “trial-and-error” approach, reducing diagnostic time, preventing unnecessary property damage, and saving you money on both labor and restoration.
What signs indicate I might need a toilet upgrade or full replacement in my Grandview home?
Frequent clogging, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running water, wobbling at the base, and visible mineral buildup inside the rim all suggest your toilet is past its prime. You may also notice higher water bills due to inefficient 3.5- to 7-gallon flush models installed before 1994. If repairs are becoming routine or parts are no longer readily available, a replacement is typically more cost-effective and energy-efficient.
Can you install high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets, and will they really lower my utility bills?
Yes. We carry WaterSense-certified single-flush (1.28 GPF) and dual-flush (1.1/1.6 GPF) toilets that meet or exceed EPA standards. Switching from a 3.5-gallon model can save a family of four up to 16,000 gallons of water per year, translating to about a 20–25 % reduction in your water bill. Many Grandview residents also qualify for local utility rebates, further offsetting the upgrade cost.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will I be without a bathroom during the process?
A straightforward replacement usually takes 2–3 hours from shut-off to final test flush. We remove the old unit, inspect and, if needed, replace the flange and wax seal, set the new toilet, connect the supply line, and verify proper operation. You can use the bathroom as soon as we’re done; there’s no curing period for modern wax or rubber seals.
Are your leak-detection and toilet replacement services covered by any warranties?
Absolutely. All leak-detection findings carry a 90-day accuracy guarantee—if we’re off the mark, we’ll re-inspect at no charge. Toilet installations include a two-year labor warranty, while the fixtures themselves are covered by manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime, depending on the model. We register all warranties on your behalf and provide digital copies for easy reference.
How much does it cost to detect a leak or replace a toilet in Grandview, and do you provide upfront pricing?
Leak-detection visits start at $189 for single-bath homes and average $249–$349 for larger properties, depending on pipe length and material. A standard toilet replacement—including haul-away of the old unit, new wax seal, flange bolts, and supply line—starts at $475 plus the cost of the toilet you choose. We always give written, flat-rate quotes before any work begins, so there are no surprise fees when the job is complete.
