FAQs
Why should I upgrade to a stronger-flush toilet instead of keeping my current fixture?
Newer high-performance toilets use advanced bowl and valve designs to move waste with less water, reducing clogs and double-flushes. In Pelham, older toilets can consume 3–5 gallons per flush, while today’s WaterSense-rated models use as little as 1.0–1.28 gpf without sacrificing power. That means lower water bills, fewer service calls for blockages, and a greener household footprint.
What types of powerful, water-saving toilets do you install in Pelham?
Stronger Flushes Plumbing offers three main categories: (1) Pressure-assist toilets that use compressed air to force water through the bowl; (2) High-efficiency gravity toilets with enlarged trapways and glazed surfaces to speed waste removal; and (3) Dual-flush models that give you a light flush for liquid waste and a full-power flush for solids. All units we recommend carry the EPA WaterSense label and meet or exceed Massachusetts plumbing code.
How much water and money can I expect to save after replacement?
If you currently have a pre-1994 3.5 gpf toilet and switch to a 1.28 gpf model, you’ll save roughly 2.2 gallons per flush. For a family of four averaging 5 flushes per person per day, that’s about 16,000 gallons a year. At Pelham’s average water/sewer rate of roughly $0.013 per gallon, the savings approach $200 annually—meaning most toilets pay for themselves in 2–3 years.
Will a stronger-flush toilet fit my existing rough-in and drain line?
In most Pelham homes the rough-in distance—the space from the wall to the center of the floor flange—is 12 inches, which matches the majority of modern bowls. During our free on-site assessment we verify rough-in, flange height, venting, and drain pipe diameter. If your home has a 10" or 14" rough-in or an outdated 3" drain, we’ll recommend compatible models or minor plumbing adjustments so the new fixture works perfectly without costly remodeling.
How long does the replacement process take and will my bathroom be out of service?
A standard swap-out (removing the old toilet, inspecting/repairing the flange, installing a new shut-off valve, setting the new bowl, and testing) takes 1.5–2 hours. Your bathroom is usually unusable only during that window. If subfloor repair or flange replacement is needed, we may need an additional hour. We schedule appointments at your convenience, arrive with all parts in stock, and leave the workspace clean and disinfected.
