FAQs
How do I know if it's time to replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogs, hairline cracks in the tank or bowl, unstable rocking, constantly running water, and rising repair bills are strong indicators that replacement is the smartest choice. In many Jonesborough homes we visit, upgrading to a new toilet ends up costing less over time than a series of stop-gap repairs because the new fixture is more efficient, parts are under warranty, and future service calls are unlikely.
What modern toilet upgrade options do you install in the Jonesborough area?
Our licensed plumbers install all major styles: comfort-height toilets, dual-flush models, pressure-assisted units, skirted designs for easier cleaning, wall-hung toilets to free up floor space, and ADA-compliant options for accessibility. We also supply bidet seats, soft-close lids, touchless flush valves, and antimicrobial seat coatings. During your consultation we review your bathroom layout, water-pressure requirements, and aesthetic preferences to match you with the perfect fixture.
How long does a typical toilet replacement appointment take?
Most standard swap-outs take 1.5–2 hours. This includes shutting off the water, draining and removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax (or wax-free) seal, setting and leveling the new toilet, connecting the supply line, testing for leaks, and cleaning up the work site. If the flange is damaged or you’re switching from a 10-inch to a 12-inch rough-in, we may need an extra hour for adaptations, but same-day completion is the norm.
Will a high-efficiency toilet really save me money on my water bill?
Absolutely. Toilets installed before 1994 often use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush (gpf). Today’s high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gpf or less, and dual-flush models let you choose an even lower 0.8–1.0 gpf for liquid waste. For a family of four in Jonesborough, that can translate into 10,000–15,000 gallons saved annually—often $80–$120 off your yearly water bill, depending on local rates.
How much does a professional toilet replacement cost and what factors influence the price?
In the Jonesborough market, most standard replacements range from $350–$700, which includes labor, haul-away, a mid-grade toilet, new supply line, and wax ring. Costs rise for premium brands, smart toilets, bidet combos, pressure-assist units, or if we must relocate plumbing, repair a damaged flange, or upgrade shut-off valves. We provide a firm, upfront quote before work begins so there are no surprises.
Do you remove and recycle the old toilet and do you offer any warranties on your work?
Yes. We disconnect, drain, and haul away your old fixture at no extra charge. Porcelain is broken down and sent to a local recycling center for use in road aggregate, reducing landfill waste. All installations carry our 1-year workmanship warranty, and most toilets we install have a 5–10 year manufacturer’s warranty on mechanical parts and glazing. If a problem arises within the warranty period, just call—we’ll make it right.
