FAQs
How does a dual-flush toilet work and what water savings can Greenback homeowners expect?
A dual-flush toilet has two buttons or handles: a low-volume flush (typically 0.8–1.1 gpf) for liquid waste and a full-volume flush (1.28–1.6 gpf) for solids. By choosing the appropriate flush, the average household in Greenback can cut toilet water use by 30–50 %, which translates to roughly 4,000–6,000 gallons of water saved per year compared with an older 3.5 gpf toilet.
Can my existing bathroom plumbing in Greenback accommodate a dual-flush replacement?
In most cases, yes. Dual-flush toilets connect to the same 12-inch rough-in and 3- or 4-inch waste line common in Greenback homes. The only prerequisites are a sound floor flange and a shut-off valve that seals properly. During our free on-site assessment we check flange height, supply-line clearance, and floor integrity and recommend minor adjustments (e.g., wax-ring spacer or supply-line upgrade) if necessary.
What is the typical cost to upgrade to a dual-flush toilet, including professional installation?
Costs depend on the model you choose. In Greenback, WaterSense-labeled dual-flush toilets range from $245–$525 for mid-grade porcelain and $600+ for designer one-piece units. Professional installation by our licensed plumbers adds $160–$220, covering removal of the old toilet, disposal, new wax ring, stainless bolts, and leak testing. A standard upgrade therefore falls between $405 and $745 all-in.
Are there local rebates or incentives for installing dual-flush toilets in Greenback?
Yes. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) partners with Loudon County Utility District to offer a $50 bill credit per WaterSense dual-flush toilet (limit two per household). We provide the rebate form, proof of purchase, and installation certificate, and many customers receive their credit within 6–8 weeks. Additional seasonal promotions from the City of Greenback may further reduce upfront costs.
How long does installation take and will my bathroom be out of service?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 90–120 minutes. Your bathroom is unusable only during that window. We schedule appointments in two-hour blocks, bring floor protection and haul-away service, and test the new toilet through multiple flush cycles before re-opening the bathroom for use. For homes needing flange repair, allow an extra hour.
What maintenance is required and what if the dual-flush mechanism needs repair?
Maintenance is minimal: keep the bowl clean with non-abrasive cleaners and check the fill valve screen annually for sediment. The dual-flush button mechanism is modular; if it sticks or leaks, the seal kit costs $12–$18 and snaps in without tools. We offer a 2-year labor warranty plus the manufacturer’s 5- to 10-year parts warranty, and our Greenback technicians carry common replacement parts on their trucks for same-day service.
