FAQs
What are the main benefits of replacing my old toilet with a water-saving model?
A modern WaterSense®-certified toilet uses as little as 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) versus the 3.5–7 GPF of many older fixtures. That means immediate reductions of up to 60 % on toilet-related water use, lower monthly utility bills, and less strain on Pigeon Forge’s municipal water and sewer systems. Newer units are also quieter, less prone to clogging, and usually come with glazing and bowl-wash technologies that reduce cleaning time and chemical use.
How much water—and money—can I expect to save by installing a high-efficiency toilet in Pigeon Forge?
For the average four-person household flushing 12–14 times a day, switching from a 3.5 GPF toilet to a 1.28 GPF model saves roughly 25–30 gallons daily, or about 9,000–11,000 gallons per year. At Pigeon Forge’s current combined water and sewer rate of roughly $11.80 per 1,000 gallons, that translates to $100–$130 in annual savings—often enough to pay for the new fixture within three to five years.
Will a low-flow toilet flush as effectively as my existing one?
Yes. Early ‘90s low-flow toilets got a bad reputation, but today’s products rely on redesigned bowls, wider glazed trapways, and pressure-assist or dual-flush technology to move waste with one powerful—yet efficient—flush. Our team only installs units we’ve field-tested in busy Pigeon Forge hotels and attractions, so you can expect reliable clearing with minimal double-flushing.
Are there rebates or incentives for water-saving toilet replacements in the Pigeon Forge area?
Many customers qualify for a $50–$100 credit from Tennessee Valley Authority’s "EnergyRight" partner utilities when they install a WaterSense® toilet that replaces a 1.6 GPF or higher unit. In addition, Sevier County sometimes waives permit fees for water-conservation upgrades performed by licensed plumbers. We stay current on all local programs and will complete the paperwork and provide the model documentation you need to claim any available rebates.
How long does the replacement process take, and will my bathroom be unusable during that time?
In most homes we can remove the old fixture, inspect the flange, install a new wax (or waxless) seal, set the water-saving toilet, and test all connections in about two hours. Your bathroom is typically out of service only while the work is in progress. If we discover flange damage, floor rot, or supply-line issues, repairs may add an hour or two, but we stock common parts on our truck to minimize downtime.
Do you handle disposal of the old toilet and any permit requirements?
Absolutely. State plumbing code requires that fixtures containing over 1.6 GPF be recycled or disposed of properly. We haul the old toilet to an approved material-recovery facility, provide you with a disposal receipt for rebate purposes, and, when needed, secure the minor plumbing permit from Pigeon Forge Building & Codes. All fees, cleanup, and post-installation inspections are included in our up-front quote.
