FAQs
What are the main signs that I should replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the porcelain, visible leaks around the base, constantly running water, and a sudden spike in your water bill all indicate that a replacement may be more cost-effective than repeated repairs. If your toilet was installed before 1994, it likely uses 3.5 gallons per flush or more—upgrading to a modern 1.28 gpf WaterSense™ model can save Greeneville households thousands of gallons of water every year.
Are high-efficiency or dual-flush toilets really worth the investment in Greeneville?
Yes. Greeneville’s municipal water rates have risen steadily over the past decade, so reducing water usage translates to lower monthly bills. High-efficiency single-flush toilets use about 1.28 gpf, and dual-flush models let you choose 0.8 gpf for liquid waste or 1.28–1.6 gpf for solids. Most customers recoup the modest price difference in water-bill savings within two to three years, and eligible WaterSense™ models may qualify for local utility rebates when available.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off all day?
A licensed plumber can usually remove the old toilet, inspect the flange, install a new wax (or waxless) seal, set the new unit, and test for leaks in about 1.5–2 hours. Your home’s main water supply is typically shut off for only 15–20 minutes; the plumber isolates the bathroom fixture so the rest of your house still has running water while the work proceeds. Same-day service means you’ll have a fully operational toilet before we leave.
Why should I hire a licensed plumber instead of a handyman for a toilet upgrade?
Tennessee plumbing codes require that any fixture replacement tying into the potable water system be performed by a state-licensed plumber. Licensed professionals carry liability insurance, are trained to spot subfloor damage, flange corrosion, and venting issues, and can pull permits in Greeneville if the job scope demands it. An improperly set toilet can lead to hidden leaks, wood rot, and mold—repairs that far exceed the cost of hiring a qualified plumber in the first place.
Can your plumbing team dispose of my old toilet in an eco-friendly way?
Absolutely. We remove and haul away your old fixture as part of our standard service. Whenever possible, we recycle porcelain at facilities that crush it for road aggregate or fill material. We also separate metal bolts, handles, and fill valves for scrap recycling. This keeps bulky waste out of Greeneville landfills and reduces the environmental impact of your upgrade.
How much does a toilet upgrade or replacement typically cost in Greeneville?
Costs vary based on the model you choose, flange condition, and whether any subfloor repairs are needed. On average, labor ranges from $175–$250 for a straightforward swap. Basic WaterSense™ round-front toilets start around $225, while comfort-height, skirted, or dual-flush models run $300–$600. If we find flange damage or need to replace a shut-off valve, parts add $25–$75. We always provide a written, flat-rate quote before work begins so you know the full price up-front.
