FAQs
What is a comfort-height toilet and how does it differ from a standard toilet?
A comfort-height (also called “right height” or ADA-height) toilet has a seat that sits 17–19 inches above the finished floor, roughly 2–3 inches higher than a standard toilet. The added height makes sitting down and standing up easier for adults, tall users, seniors, and people with limited mobility, while still complying with Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.
Why should I consider upgrading to a comfort-height toilet in my Maryville home?
Besides greater ease of use, comfort-height models can improve safety by reducing the risk of knee, hip, and back strain. They also add resale appeal, because many homebuyers now expect taller toilets as a modern convenience. Local plumbers often see fewer cracked tanks and seats on these units because users put less weight on the toilet during transfers.
How long does a typical comfort-height toilet replacement take from start to finish?
For most homes in Maryville, a straightforward swap takes about two to three hours: 30–45 minutes to shut off water and remove the old toilet, 15–20 minutes to clean and inspect the flange, and another 60–90 minutes to set the new unit, install a new wax or rubber seal, reconnect water, and test for leaks. If flange repairs or floor leveling are needed, allow extra time.
Do I need a permit or inspection to replace a toilet in Maryville, TN?
The City of Maryville does not require a permit for a like-for-like residential toilet replacement, provided no drain line is relocated. However, if you plan to move the toilet’s rough-in or alter venting, a plumbing permit and inspection through the City Development Services Department will be required. When in doubt, our team confirms compliance for you.
What factors affect the cost of a comfort-height toilet installation?
Pricing generally includes the new fixture, removal and disposal of the old toilet, a new wax ring or rubber seal, closet bolts, a flexible water connector, and labor. Costs rise if you choose premium features (one-piece design, bidet seat, or dual-flush), require flange repair, or upgrade shut-off valves. We provide transparent, no-surprise quotes after an on-site assessment.
Will your technicians haul away my old toilet and clean up the work area?
Yes. Every comfort-height toilet upgrade comes with full removal and eco-friendly disposal or recycling of the old unit. Our licensed plumbers protect your flooring, thoroughly clean the workspace, and disinfect the new toilet before leaving so you can use it immediately.
