FAQs
How do I know if my toilet needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
Signs that a replacement is the better option include persistent leaks around the base, hairline cracks in the bowl or tank, recurring clogs despite a clear drain line, outdated 3.5-gallon or larger tanks, and frequent internal component failures. If you’re calling for service more than once a year or facing water bills that keep creeping up, upgrading to a modern unit will generally save money and frustration in the long run.
What are the benefits of upgrading to a high-efficiency or dual-flush toilet?
Modern HET (High-Efficiency Toilet) models use as little as 1.28 gpf, while dual-flush toilets offer a reduced 0.8–1.1 gpf option for liquid waste and 1.28 gpf for solids. This can cut household water use by up to 30 %. Beyond lower utility bills, many New Market homeowners appreciate quieter fills, smoother flush valves, and sleek designs that fit today’s bathrooms. Upgrading may also qualify you for local rebates from utility providers promoting water conservation.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take, and will my water be shut off?
For a straightforward swap (same footprint and rough-in), our licensed plumbers can complete the work in about 90 minutes. We only shut off water to the fixture itself, not the entire house, for the majority of the job. Total water-off time is usually under 20 minutes. If flooring repairs, flange fixes, or supply-line relocations are needed, we’ll let you know in advance and extend the booking window to 2–3 hours.
Are there any building codes or permits required for replacing a toilet in New Market?
In most cases, a permit is not required for a like-for-like toilet change-out. However, Madison County adopts the latest International Plumbing Code, which mandates that new fixtures installed must meet 1.28 gpf or less. If we’re relocating the toilet, altering drain lines, or modifying venting, a plumbing permit and inspection will be necessary. Our team handles all paperwork and schedules the inspection for you when applicable.
Can your licensed plumbers dispose of my old toilet responsibly?
Yes. We remove the old unit, contain any residual water, and transport it to a local recycling or approved disposal site. Porcelain bowls can often be crushed and reused in roadbed aggregate, keeping waste out of landfills. If your toilet qualifies for a municipal recycling program, we’ll coordinate drop-off at no extra charge.
How much does a toilet replacement or upgrade cost, and what factors affect the price?
Typical price ranges in New Market run $225–$375 for labor, plus the cost of the fixture. Standard two-piece HETs start around $200, while one-piece, skirted, or bidet-seat-ready models can exceed $600. Additional costs may include wax rings or rubber seals, new supply lines, flange repair kits, and haul-away fees (often bundled in our quoted price). We provide a firm, written estimate after an on-site evaluation, so you know the total before any work begins.
