FAQs
What does upfront pricing mean for my toilet upgrade in Hixson?
Upfront pricing means you receive the total cost of the job—parts, labor, disposal, and any necessary permits—before any work begins. Our technician inspects your current plumbing, discusses your preferred toilet style and features, then provides a written, fixed quote. There are no hidden fees or surprise add-ons, even if the installation takes longer than expected, so you can budget with confidence.
How can I tell if my toilet should be replaced instead of repaired?
Replacement is usually recommended when the toilet has hairline cracks in the bowl or tank, persistent leaks around the base, repeated clogging despite a healthy drain line, or is more than 20–25 years old and wasting water. Frequent repairs—such as flapper, fill-valve, or handle issues—can add up quickly; if repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new, more efficient model, upgrading becomes the smarter long-term choice.
What types of toilets can you install and upgrade to?
We install a full range of toilets, including WaterSense-certified high-efficiency models (1.28 gpf or less), dual-flush units, comfort-height (ADA) bowls, skirted or concealed-trap designs for easier cleaning, and luxury bidet-seat compatible models. We carry trusted brands like Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber, but we’re equally happy to install a customer-supplied unit as long as it meets local plumbing code.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
Most standard replacements in Hixson are completed in 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This includes shutting off and draining the old toilet, removing it, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting and leveling the new toilet, connecting the water supply, and thorough testing. If flange repairs, subfloor damage, or a closet bend adjustment is needed, we’ll let you know in advance and update the timeframe before work begins.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Hixson?
Simple like-for-like toilet swaps generally do not require a plumbing permit in Hixson or Hamilton County, but if the project involves relocating the fixture, altering drain lines, or adding new shut-off valves, a permit may be required. Our team is familiar with local codes and will secure any necessary permits as part of our upfront pricing so you remain fully compliant without extra hassle.
What maintenance tips will help my new toilet last longer?
• Use only toilet-safe cleaning products to avoid degrading seals and finish. • Avoid drop-in tank tablets that can corrode internal components. • Inspect the supply line and shut-off valve annually for leaks or corrosion. • Listen for continuous running; promptly replacing the flapper or fill valve prevents water waste. • Never flush wipes, feminine products, or large amounts of paper to reduce clogs. Following these tips, plus scheduling a routine plumbing checkup every 2–3 years, can extend the life of your toilet well past its manufacturer warranty.
