FAQs
When should I consider replacing my existing toilet instead of repairing it?
You should think about a replacement if the porcelain is cracked, the unit constantly clogs or runs, repair bills keep adding up, or the toilet was manufactured before 1994 and uses more than 3.5 gallons per flush. Newer high-efficiency models save water, reduce monthly utility costs, and deliver better flushing performance.
What types of high-efficiency toilets do your licensed Louisville plumbers install?
We offer WaterSense-certified gravity-flush, pressure-assisted, dual-flush, and skirted one-piece or two-piece toilets from trusted brands such as Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber. Our team will explain the pros, cons, and price points of each style and help you choose a unit that fits your bathroom layout, water-saving goals, and budget.
Do I need a plumbing permit in Louisville to replace a toilet?
Most straightforward toilet swaps do not require a city plumbing permit, but any job involving changes to the drain line, venting, or relocation of the fixture usually does. As a licensed and insured Louisville plumbing contractor, we’ll confirm local code requirements, pull any necessary permits, and schedule inspections so you stay 100 % compliant.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
For a like-for-like replacement with no underlying pipe issues, our technicians can remove the old unit, prep the flange, install a new wax or rubber seal, secure the toilet, connect the supply line, and test for leaks in about two hours. If we discover flange damage, rotted subflooring, or if the toilet is being relocated, allow additional time for repairs or rerouting pipes.
What is included in your toilet upgrade service quote?
Our upfront, flat-rate quote covers removal and environmentally responsible disposal of the old toilet, the new fixture, wax or rubber seal, stainless-steel bolts, braided stainless supply line, labor, cleanup, and a one-year workmanship warranty. Optional upgrades—such as bidet seats, soft-close lids, or shut-off valve replacement—are itemized separately so you can decide what fits your needs.
Can upgrading my toilet really lower my water bill?
Absolutely. Standard pre-1994 toilets use 3.5–7 gallons per flush. Modern WaterSense-labeled models use 1.28 gallons or less. For a family of four averaging five flushes per person per day, switching from a 3.5-gallon toilet to a 1.28-gallon unit saves about 12,000 gallons of water annually—often cutting bathroom water consumption in half and trimming $100-$150 a year from typical Louisville water bills.
