FAQs
How can I tell if my current toilet is outdated and should be replaced?
Common warning signs include constant clogging or the need for multiple flushes, hairline cracks in the porcelain, visible leaks around the base, and high water usage listed on your utility bill. Toilets manufactured before 1994 typically use 3.5–7 gallons per flush, compared with today’s 1.28-gallon high-efficiency models. If you are experiencing any of these issues, a new fixture will save water, reduce repairs, and improve reliability.
What advantages do modern high-efficiency toilets offer residents in Harriman?
Replacing an old unit with a WaterSense-certified model can cut toilet water use by up to 60 %, lowering your Harriman Utility Board bill by as much as $110 per year for a family of four. Newer designs feature powerful but quiet flush technology, cleaner bowl glazing, comfort-height seating, and optional dual-flush handles for additional savings. Many Rockland County residents also qualify for state or utility rebates on high-efficiency fixtures.
Do I need a permit or inspection to replace a toilet or other plumbing fixture in Harriman?
The Village of Harriman does not usually require a separate building permit for a like-for-like toilet swap inside a single-family home. However, if the work involves moving drain lines, modifying vent stacks, or replacing more than one fixture, you may need to file a simple plumbing permit with the Orange County Department of Building & Code Enforcement. Our licensed plumbers handle all permit applications and coordinate any required inspections so the project meets New York State Plumbing Code standards.
How long will the replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
A straightforward toilet replacement typically takes 1.5–2 hours from water shut-off to final testing. We turn off water only to the bathroom in question, so the rest of your home remains fully supplied. If we discover deteriorated flange or sub-floor damage once the old toilet is removed, we will discuss repair options on the spot; this may add additional time but ensures a secure, leak-free installation.
Will you haul away and recycle my old toilet and fixtures?
Yes. As part of our standard service in Harriman, we remove the old toilet, wax ring, and any related debris. Porcelain components are transported to a local facility that crushes and recycles them into road-bed aggregate, keeping heavy materials out of Hudson Valley landfills. Metal parts such as mounting bolts, handles, or supply lines are separated and sent to metal recyclers.
What is the typical cost of a toilet or fixture replacement, and do you offer financing or warranties?
Most basic toilet replacements in Harriman range from $425 to $825, which includes the new WaterSense-rated toilet, braided stainless supply line, wax-free seal, labor, disposal, and a one-year workmanship warranty. Upgrades such as smart bidet seats, skirted bowls, or wall-hung carriers increase the price. We accept all major credit cards and offer 6- and 12-month zero-interest financing for qualifying homeowners. Manufacturer warranties on the fixture itself generally run 5–10 years, and we register those on your behalf.
