FAQs
When should I consider upgrading or replacing my toilet?
You should think about a toilet upgrade if you notice persistent leaks, cracks in the porcelain, frequent clogs, excessive water use (older models can consume up to 7 gpf), or wobbling at the base. Upgrading can also be beneficial if you want modern features such as dual-flush, comfort-height seating, or bidet functionality.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take?
For a licensed plumber, a straightforward replacement typically takes 1 – 2 hours. This includes shutting off the water supply, disconnecting and removing the old unit, inspecting and preparing the flange and wax seal, installing the new toilet, reconnecting the water line, and testing for leaks. Complex cases—such as damaged flooring or corroded flanges—can add additional time.
What are the water-saving benefits of modern toilets?
New high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use as little as 1.28 gpf, and dual-flush models can drop to 0.8 gpf on the light flush. Compared with pre-1994 units that use 3.5–7 gpf, you can save up to 16,000 gallons of water per year, which lowers utility bills and helps meet local conservation guidelines.
Do I need a licensed plumber for a toilet replacement?
Yes. A licensed plumber ensures your new toilet meets local Reliance building codes, that all seals are watertight, and that the waste line is correctly aligned. Professional installation protects your warranty, prevents hidden leaks that can cause costly water damage, and guarantees that any necessary permits or inspections are properly handled.
What toilet styles and features do you offer in Reliance?
We carry one-piece, two-piece, wall-hung, and skirted designs from leading brands. Popular upgrades include comfort-height bowls, soft-close seats, dual-flush mechanisms, integrated bidet seats, night-light lids, and touch-free flush sensors. Our licensed plumbers can help you choose the right fit based on your bathroom layout, accessibility needs, and budget.
How much does it cost to replace a toilet in Reliance?
Pricing depends on the toilet model, any flange or plumbing repairs, and disposal of the old unit. A standard replacement ranges from $250 – $650, which includes labor and a mid-range HET. Premium smart toilets or repairs to subflooring can elevate costs. We provide free, itemized estimates so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
