FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet should be replaced rather than repaired?
Persistent clogs, visible cracks in the tank or bowl, water pooling at the base, constant running, and noticeably higher water bills are all indicators that replacement is the smarter long-term choice. If your toilet is more than 20 years old, it likely uses 3–5 gallons per flush—far above today’s federal 1.6 gpf standard—so upgrading can solve performance issues and save water.
What types of high-efficiency toilets do you install in Greeneville homes?
We offer standard 1.28 gpf high-efficiency toilets, WaterSense-certified dual-flush models (typically 0.8 gpf for liquids and 1.28 gpf for solids), pressure-assisted toilets for powerful flush performance, and comfort-height/ADA-compliant bowls. We’ll discuss your household’s needs, bathroom layout, and local water conditions to recommend the best option.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
For most Greeneville residences, removal of the old unit, inspection of the flange, installation of the new toilet, and haul-away of debris can be completed in two to four hours. If the flange or subfloor is damaged, expect an additional 1–2 hours for repairs. We schedule appointments at your convenience and provide same-day service whenever possible.
Will upgrading my toilet really lower my water bill?
Absolutely. Replacing a 3.5 gpf toilet with a 1.28 gpf model saves roughly 2.2 gallons per flush. In a household that flushes 15 times a day, that’s over 12,000 gallons per year—enough to reduce annual water costs by $100 or more. Many customers in Greeneville see payback on their new toilet within two to three years.
Do I need to upgrade my plumbing or bathroom floor when I swap out my toilet?
In most cases, no. Modern toilets are designed to fit the standard 12-inch rough-in that older units have. We check your existing supply line and shut-off valve; if either shows corrosion or leaking, we can replace them during installation. Flooring usually stays intact because the new toilet covers the same footprint, but we’ll advise if repairs are needed after removing the old wax ring.
How much does a toilet upgrade cost and what factors affect the price?
In Greeneville, a basic replacement with a standard high-efficiency toilet starts around $450, including labor and disposal. Pricing rises with premium features (dual flush, skirted design, bidet seat compatibility), comfort-height bowls, or pressure-assist technology. Additional costs can arise from flange repair, supply-line upgrades, or subfloor damage. We provide a detailed, no-surprise quote before any work begins.
