FAQs
What is considered a high-efficiency toilet (HET) and how much water can it save?
A high-efficiency toilet is any model that uses 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less and meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency WaterSense performance standards. Compared with older 3.5–7 gpf toilets, an HET can reduce water use per flush by 60 % or more. For the average Grandview household, that translates to roughly 13,000–16,000 gallons of water saved every year, lowering both water and sewer bills.
Will a high-efficiency toilet flush as well as my current toilet?
Yes. Modern HETs achieve powerful, dependable flushing with redesigned trapways, larger flush valves, and pressure-assisted or dual-flush technology. WaterSense certification requires that each toilet remove at least 350 grams of waste in a single flush—well above what most households need. Our technicians can recommend models that balance water savings and optimum performance for your specific plumbing system.
How long does a toilet upgrade or replacement take, and do you haul away the old unit?
Most standard replacements in Grandview take 1.5–3 hours from shut-off to final test. This includes draining the old tank, disconnecting supply lines, removing the old bowl and wax ring, installing a new seal, setting the new toilet, reconnecting water, and verifying proper flush and fill levels. We always include professional disposal of the old toilet and packing materials, leaving your bathroom clean and ready for use the same day.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing high-efficiency toilets in Grandview?
Many local utilities in the Kansas City metro—such as KC Water—periodically offer $50–$100 rebates for WaterSense-labeled HETs. Some energy-saving programs, condo associations, and property-management companies provide additional incentives. Before scheduling your upgrade, our office can help you confirm current rebate availability, prepare the required documentation (proof of purchase, photo of installation, and model number), and submit paperwork so you receive your credit promptly.
What factors affect the cost of upgrading or replacing my toilet?
Pricing is influenced by: • Toilet style and technology (gravity, pressure-assisted, or dual-flush) • One-piece vs. two-piece construction • Special features (comfort height, skirted bowl, bidet seat compatibility, or touchless flush) • Condition of the existing flange and shut-off valve • Necessity for floor repairs or releveling • Any code-required venting or supply-line updates After an on-site evaluation, we provide a clear, itemized quote covering the new fixture, parts, labor, tax, and haul-away—so there are no surprise fees.
Will my existing plumbing need modification to accommodate a high-efficiency toilet?
In most cases, no. HETs are designed to fit the standard 12-inch rough-in that most Grandview homes have. If your rough-in is 10" or 14", or if you’re switching from a wall-mount to a floor-mount (or vice versa), we may need to install an offset flange or adapt the supply line. During our free consultation, we measure rough-in distance, flange condition, and water-supply placement to ensure compatibility and outline any required adjustments before work begins.
