FAQs
What is a comfort-height toilet and how does it differ from a standard toilet?
A comfort-height (also called chair-height or ADA-height) toilet has a seat that sits 17–19 inches from the floor—about 2–4 inches higher than the 15-inch seat on a standard model. The extra height makes it easier for most adults, seniors, and people with mobility challenges to sit down and stand up. Aside from the bowl height, all other plumbing connections and flushing functions remain the same as a standard toilet.
Why should Louisville homeowners consider upgrading to a comfort-height toilet?
Upgrading offers several benefits: (1) Improved accessibility and safety for aging-in-place or post-surgery recovery, (2) Better compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) recommendations, (3) Modern water-saving flush technology that can cut water usage by up to 30%, and (4) An opportunity to refresh the bathroom’s style and add resale value. Because Louisville’s housing stock includes many homes built before 1994, a comfort-height toilet can provide both efficiency and comfort improvements in a single project.
Do comfort-height toilets meet Kentucky Plumbing Code and local Louisville regulations?
Yes. The Kentucky Plumbing Code (latest edition adopted by the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction) recognizes comfort-height fixtures and has no restrictions on their residential use as long as the toilet is UPC- or CSA-certified and uses no more than 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF) or 1.28 GPF for high-efficiency models. Our licensed Louisville plumbers pull any permits required for full bathroom remodels and ensure the flange height, venting, and shut-off valves are installed to code.
How long does a typical comfort-height toilet replacement take?
For a straightforward swap—removing the old toilet, inspecting/adjusting the flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting the new comfort-height bowl, and testing the flush—most jobs take 1.5 to 2 hours. If the existing flange is damaged, sits below finished floor level, or the supply valve needs replacement, add 30–60 minutes. We schedule convenient two-hour arrival windows and clean up the workspace before leaving.
What does a comfort-height toilet installation cost in the Louisville area?
Pricing varies by brand, flushing technology, and any needed plumbing repairs, but most homeowners spend $450–$850 total. That range includes: (1) The toilet itself ($250–$550 for reputable brands like Kohler, American Standard, or Toto), (2) Professional installation labor ($150–$250), and (3) Miscellaneous materials (wax/rubber ring, new supply line, disposal of old fixture). We provide upfront, itemized quotes so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Will you haul away my old toilet and can it be recycled?
Absolutely. Our service includes removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old unit. Intact porcelain can often be crushed and used as aggregate in road base, while metal tank parts and fixtures are sent to local recycling centers in Jefferson County. We strive to divert as much waste as possible from the landfill.
