FAQs
What makes a toilet ADA-compliant and why is that important for homes and businesses in Greenback?
An ADA-compliant toilet must have a seat height of 17–19 inches from the finished floor, a larger clearance area around the bowl, and an easy-to-operate flush handle or sensor located on the open side of the toilet. These features allow people who use wheelchairs, walkers, or have limited mobility to transfer safely and operate the fixture without strain. In Greenback, providing ADA-compliant restrooms is not only considerate—it is also required for public spaces under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Tennessee building codes, helping owners avoid fines and liability.
Do I have to replace my existing toilet to meet ADA requirements in Tennessee, and are there local codes in Greenback I should know about?
If your bathroom is open to the public or is part of new construction or a major renovation, ADA compliance is mandatory. Private residences are not legally required to meet ADA specs, but many homeowners choose to upgrade for safety and aging-in-place. Greenback follows the 2018 International Plumbing Code with state amendments, which reference ADA standards. When we pull a permit, the city inspector will verify that the toilet and its clearances meet these requirements. We handle the permitting process and make sure your installation passes inspection the first time.
What does your ADA-compliant toilet replacement service in Greenback include?
Our turnkey service covers: • A site visit to verify rough-in dimensions and clearance requirements. • Help selecting WaterSense-certified ADA models from trusted brands. • Removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old toilet. • Upgraded supply line, shut-off valve, wax ring, and stainless-steel mounting hardware. • Precise installation at 17–19" seat height, leak testing, and caulking. • Haul-away of all debris and a written workmanship warranty. If you need grab bars, contrasting lever handles, or other fixtures, we can bundle those during the same visit.
How long will an ADA toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off?
A standard replacement takes 2–3 hours. We turn off the water supply to that bathroom for about 30 minutes while swapping the fixture. Your home or business will still have water service in other rooms during the work. For commercial multi-stall restrooms, we can stage the job outside of business hours to minimize disruption.
Are there water-efficient ADA-compliant toilet models, and will they lower my utility bills?
Yes. Many ADA-height toilets also carry the EPA WaterSense label, using only 1.28 gallons per flush versus older 3.5-gallon models. For a typical household in Greenback, that can save 13,000 gallons of water and up to $110 per year on your utility bill. Commercial properties with high traffic see even greater savings, making the upgrade pay for itself quickly.
Can you retrofit other fixtures during the same visit to ensure full ADA bathroom compliance?
Absolutely. We regularly install grab bars, ADA-height lavatories, sensor faucets, accessible flush valves, and widened door hardware while we’re on site. Combining these upgrades in one appointment reduces labor costs and ensures every element works together to meet ADA reach ranges and turning radius requirements. We’ll provide a compliance checklist so you know your entire restroom meets current state and federal standards.
