FAQs

What qualifies as a high-efficiency toilet (HET) and how much water can I expect to save in Powell?

A high-efficiency toilet is certified to use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, compared with the Federal standard of 1.6 gpf. If you are replacing an older 3.5–7 gpf fixture that was common in homes built before the mid-1990s, you can trim your toilet water consumption by 50–70 %, saving roughly 9,000–13,000 gallons per year for a four-person household in Powell.

Are high-efficiency toilets powerful enough to prevent clogs?

Yes. Manufacturers redesign the trapway, bowl geometry, and flush valve to maintain or exceed the waste-removal performance of older 1.6 gpf models. Most HETs we install carry a MaP (Maximum Performance) score of 800–1,000 grams—well above the 500-gram industry benchmark—so they clear the bowl in a single flush and help minimize clogs in Powell’s residential plumbing systems.

How much does it cost to upgrade my toilet in Powell, including installation?

Pricing varies with the model and any plumbing modifications required, but most customers spend $465–$895 per toilet, which includes the fixture, a new wax or wax-free seal, supply line, disposal of the old unit, and professional installation by a licensed Powell plumber. Premium features such as skirted bases, comfort-height seating, or bidet functions add to the cost.

Will a new high-efficiency toilet fit my existing rough-in and plumbing?

Powell homes primarily have a 12-inch rough-in from the finished wall to the flange bolts, and nearly all modern HETs are made for that distance. If your bathroom has a 10-inch or 14-inch rough-in or an offset flange, we’ll measure beforehand and recommend compatible models or install an adapter to ensure a perfect fit without relocating drain lines.

Are rebates or incentives available in Powell for installing high-efficiency toilets?

Yes. The City of Powell participates in Delaware County’s water-conservation program, which currently offers residents a $50 bill credit per qualifying WaterSense-labeled toilet (limit two per household). We’ll prepare the paperwork, provide proof of purchase and installation, and submit it on your behalf so you can claim the rebate quickly.

How long does a typical toilet replacement take and will my bathroom be usable the same day?

A standard swap—removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, installing the new HET, and testing—takes about 1.5–2.5 hours. Unless we discover subfloor rot or major flange damage, your bathroom will be fully operational the same day. We schedule replacements at a time that minimizes disruption and always clean up before leaving your Powell home.
