FAQs
How can I tell when my toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
If the bowl or tank is cracked, the porcelain is severely stained, you experience frequent clogs, the toilet wobbles even after tightening bolts, or you notice a spike in water bills because it runs constantly, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Our certified plumbers can inspect the unit in your Lookout Mountain home and give you an honest recommendation.
What kinds of high-efficiency toilets do you install for homeowners in Lookout Mountain?
We install a full range of WaterSense-certified 1.28 gpf gravity-flush models, dual-flush toilets (0.8 gpf for liquid waste and 1.28 gpf for solids), and pressure-assist units for commercial or high-traffic residential bathrooms. ADA-compliant comfort-height options and skirted designs for easier cleaning are also available. Weâll review your preferences for style, flushing power, and water savings before recommending brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber.
What does a professional toilet replacement typically cost in Lookout Mountain?
For most homes the total investment, including a quality WaterSense toilet, wax ring or rubber seal, new supply line, professional installation, and haul-away of the old unit, ranges from $375 to $950. Price varies with the model you choose, any needed flange repair, and whether flooring must be patched. We provide an upfront, itemized quote so there are no surprises.
Do I need a permit to replace a toilet, and do you handle the paperwork?
A like-for-like replacementâwhere the drain line and venting stay the sameâusually doesnât require a plumbing permit in Lookout Mountain. However, if the job involves relocating the toilet, altering drain diameter, or upgrading to a pressure-assist unit that changes venting, a permit may be required by Walker County. Our licensed plumbers confirm code requirements in advance and secure any necessary permits on your behalf.
How long will the upgrade appointment take from start to finish?
Most standard replacements are completed in 1½â3 hours. That includes shutting off water, draining and removing the old toilet, inspecting and prepping the flange, setting the new unit, testing for leaks, caulking, and thorough cleanup. If we discover flange damage or subfloor rot, weâll discuss repair options and updated timing before proceeding.
Can you dispose of my old toilet responsibly?
Yes. We remove the old fixture, separate recyclable components, and deliver it to the approved construction-debris facility or porcelain-recycling program serving Lookout Mountain. This keeps bulky waste out of local landfills and ensures any remaining water is properly handled under EPA guidelines.
