FAQs
How do I know it’s time to upgrade or replace my toilet?
Common warning signs include chronic clogging, cracks or leaks around the base, constantly running water, noticeably higher water bills, or a toilet that was installed before 1994 (when low-flow standards were adopted). If repairs are becoming more frequent or the porcelain shows hairline cracks, a replacement is usually more cost-effective and can cut water use by up to 60 %.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take in Maryville?
For a straightforward swap, our licensed plumbers can remove the old unit, check the flange, install a new wax ring, set the new toilet, and test for leaks in about 1.5–2 hours. If the flange is damaged, the floor requires repair, or you’re relocating the toilet, plan on 3–4 hours. We schedule appointments at your convenience and can usually complete work the same day.
Do you obtain permits and ensure the installation meets Maryville plumbing codes?
Yes. Although most like-for-like toilet replacements don’t require a building permit in Maryville, any relocation, major drain modification, or bathroom remodel does. Our state-licensed plumbers stay current with 2024 IPC (International Plumbing Code) and local Blount County amendments, and we’ll secure any necessary permits and schedule inspections when required—saving you time and preventing code violations.
What high-efficiency or specialty toilets do you offer, and how much water can I save?
We install WaterSense-certified 1.28 gpf (gallons per flush) gravity models, dual-flush toilets (0.8 gpf for liquid waste/1.28 gpf for solid), pressure-assisted units, comfort-height designs, and space-saving round-front bowls. Replacing an older 3.5–5 gpf toilet with a WaterSense model saves roughly 13,000 gallons of water per year for a family of four, cutting annual water costs by $110–$140. Maryville Water & Sewer customers may also qualify for occasional rebate programs—ask us for current offers.
What does a toilet upgrade or replacement cost, and what factors affect the price?
In Maryville, basic replacements range from $325 to $550 (labor, standard wax ring, supply line, disposal). Upgraded one-piece, skirted, or smart toilets can raise hardware costs to $600–$1,800. Additional expenses come from flange repair ($60–$150), shut-off valve replacement ($40–$80), or floor patching if water damage is found. We provide upfront, itemized estimates so there are no surprises.
What happens to my old toilet after it’s removed?
We handle environmentally responsible disposal. Intact porcelain is transported to a local recycling facility where it is crushed and reused as aggregate for roadbeds or landscaping material. If the bowl or tank is broken, we separate metal parts (hinges, handle) for scrap recycling and dispose of non-recyclable components according to Blount County regulations, keeping waste out of landfills whenever possible.
