FAQs
What is a comfort-height commode and how is it different from a standard toilet?
A comfort-height (also called right-height or chair-height) commode has a seat that is 17–19 inches from the floor—about 2–3 inches taller than a traditional 15-inch toilet. The added height makes sitting down and standing up easier for most adults, seniors, and people with mobility challenges, without changing the footprint or water-use performance of the fixture.
Why should I consider replacing my current toilet with a comfort-height model?
Homeowners in Hillsboro choose comfort-height toilets for improved ergonomics, reduced knee and back strain, and better long-term accessibility. They are especially beneficial for aging-in-place or multi-generational households, and many newer models also offer superior water efficiency, quieter flushing, and modern styling compared with older 3.5-gpf units.
Are comfort-height toilets ADA compliant and suitable for universal design?
Most comfort-height toilets meet the 17–19-inch seat-height requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), making them a smart choice for universal design bathrooms. If you need an ADA-compliant installation—for example, in a commercial space—our plumbers can recommend models that also meet flush-lever, clearance, and grab-bar specifications.
Will a comfort-height commode fit my existing plumbing rough-in?
Yes—comfort-height refers only to bowl height, not rough-in. If your current toilet has the common 12-inch rough-in from wall to flange bolts, most comfort-height replacements will drop right in. For 10-inch or 14-inch rough-ins, we stock specialty models and offset flanges, ensuring a proper seal without major floor or wall alterations.
How long does it take to replace a standard toilet with a comfort-height model in a Hillsboro home?
For a straightforward swap, our licensed plumbers typically complete removal, flange inspection, wax-ring replacement, and new toilet installation in 1½–2 hours. If we discover subfloor damage, flange corrosion, or supply-line issues, we can usually finish all repairs the same day, keeping overall downtime under four hours.
What does a comfort-height commode replacement cost, and are permits or rebates available in Hillsboro?
Installed prices in Hillsboro average $525–$750, including a quality WaterSense®-labeled comfort-height toilet, new supply line, wax or rubber seal, and haul-away of the old fixture. No plumbing permit is required for a like-for-like residential replacement, but Clean Water Services offers rebates up to $75 for replacing pre-1994 high-flow toilets with qualifying high-efficiency models—our team can file the paperwork for you.
