FAQs
Do I really need a licensed plumber for a toilet upgrade or replacement in Grandview?
Yes. Grandview’s plumbing code requires that any modification to a home’s potable-water or drain system be performed by a state-licensed plumber. Hiring a licensed professional ensures that the new toilet is installed correctly, all shut-offs and seals are leak-free, and the installation passes any city inspections that may be required. It also protects your warranty and homeowner’s insurance because work done by unlicensed individuals can void coverage.
How much does it cost to replace an old toilet with a new high-efficiency model?
In Grandview, most standard replacements range from $450 to $850, including the new fixture, wax ring, supply line, disposal of the old unit, and labor. Premium water-saving or smart toilets with bidet features can push the installed price to $1,200–$3,000. Costs vary with the brand, flushing technology, rough-in size, and any floor or flange repairs discovered once the old toilet is removed. We provide free, itemized quotes so you know the exact price before work begins.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
For a like-for-like swap with no hidden problems, our licensed plumbers can complete the job in about 60–90 minutes. If the flange is damaged, the subfloor is soft, or you’re converting from a 10-inch to a 12-inch rough-in, plan on two to four hours. We schedule convenient appointment windows and bring all common repair parts so most projects are finished the same visit.
Will I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Grandview?
A straight toilet replacement (same location, no structural changes) generally does not require a permit under the City of Grandview’s residential plumbing guidelines. However, moving the toilet, altering drain lines, or converting to pressure-assist or macerating units may trigger a simple plumbing permit and inspection. Our team confirms the permit requirements for every job and, when necessary, handles the paperwork and scheduling with the city at no extra charge.
What happens to my old toilet once it’s removed?
We include eco-friendly disposal in every quote. Usable porcelain is taken to local recycling centers where it’s crushed and repurposed as road-bed aggregate. Metal hardware is separated for scrap recycling, and non-recyclable components are disposed of in accordance with Grandview waste regulations. You never have to worry about lifting, storing, or dumping the old fixture yourself.
Do new toilets really save water, and are rebates available in Grandview?
Absolutely. Modern high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons per flush or less—up to 60 % less water than many older 3.5–5 gpf models. Dual-flush units can save even more. Grandview participates in the Mid-America Regional Council’s WaterWise rebate program, which currently offers up to a $100 rebate for qualifying WaterSense-labeled toilets. We’ll help you choose eligible models and provide the necessary documentation so you can claim the rebate quickly.
