FAQs
What are the most common signs that I should replace my toilet rather than repair it?
Frequent clogging, visible cracks in the bowl or tank, recurring leaks around the base, persistent running water, and high water usage are key indicators. If your toilet is over 20 years old, finding compatible parts can also be difficult. In these cases, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs, and our licensed plumbers can assess your fixture on-site to confirm the best course of action.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take?
For most standard residential toilets, our La Follette plumbing team can complete removal of the old unit, installation of the new one, and testing in 1.5–2 hours. Complexities—such as corroded flange bolts, subfloor damage, or relocating the rough-in—can extend the job. We provide a time estimate after the initial inspection so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Will upgrading my toilet help lower my water bills?
Yes. Newer toilets, especially WaterSense-certified models, use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush compared with older 3.5–7 gpf units. Dual-flush and pressure-assisted options can cut water usage by up to 60%, translating into noticeable savings on your utility bills while also conserving a valuable resource.
Do I need a permit in La Follette to replace my toilet, and will your plumbers handle it?
Single-like-for-like toilet swaps inside a residence typically do not require a city permit, but any work involving changes to the drain line, venting, or structural components may. Our licensed plumbers are familiar with Campbell County and City of La Follette regulations. We’ll advise you up front and, if a permit is needed, obtain it and arrange any mandatory inspections on your behalf.
What happens to my old toilet after you remove it?
We include haul-away service with every upgrade. Usable porcelain is transported to facilities that recycle fixtures into roadbed aggregate or other construction materials. Any metal parts are separated for scrap recycling, and hazardous components such as wax rings are disposed of in compliance with state environmental guidelines. You won’t have to lift a finger—or a toilet.
Which toilet brands or styles do you recommend, and what warranties do you offer?
We routinely install and service leading brands like Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber due to their reliability, readily available parts, and strong manufacturer warranties (generally 5–10 years on porcelain and 1 year on mechanicals). Our company backs every installation with a 1-year labor warranty covering leaks, improper seating, and manufacturer-approved adjustments. We’ll help you choose between comfort-height, elongated, dual-flush, or pressure-assisted models based on your household’s needs and budget.
