FAQs
How can I tell when it’s time to replace—rather than repair—my toilet?
Persistent problems such as hairline cracks in the tank or bowl, frequent clogs that aren’t caused by the drain line, wobbling at the base, or constantly running water are strong indicators your toilet has reached the end of its service life. If your unit is 20-plus years old, uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush, or needs repeated internal-part repairs, upgrading usually saves money on both water and future service calls.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take in Robbins, IL?
Most standard replacements—from shutting off the water to testing the new unit—take 1½ to 2½ hours. Extra time may be needed if we must correct flange height, repair subfloor damage, or move the supply line. Because we stock common parts on the truck, 95 % of our Robbins customers have their new toilet fully operational the same day we arrive.
Do I need a plumbing permit, and will your licensed plumbers handle it?
For a like-for-like toilet swap in Robbins, a permit is generally not required. If we relocate the fixture, modify the drain, or upgrade to a pressure-assist model that changes venting, the Village of Robbins Building Department does require a permit. Our team is licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and will secure any necessary paperwork, schedule inspections, and provide you with final documentation at no extra hassle.
What are the advantages of upgrading to a WaterSense® or dual-flush toilet?
High-efficiency toilets (HETs) use as little as 1.0 gpf, and dual-flush models average 1.28 gpf—cutting water usage by up to 60 % compared to pre-1994 fixtures. Robbins residents can save about 13,000 gallons of water and $110–$150 per year on utility bills. Many modern bowls also feature fully glazed trapways, powerful siphon jets, and antimicrobial coatings that reduce clogs and cleaning time.
How much should I budget for a new toilet and professional installation?
Costs vary by style and performance. A quality standard-height HET starts around $275, while comfort-height, skirted, or one-piece models range from $400–$750. Pressure-assist or smart bidet toilets can exceed $1,200. Labor for licensed installation in Robbins—including removal, wax ring, flange bolts, supply line, testing, and disposal—runs $225–$325. Most homeowners spend $500–$1,050 all-in for a dependable, water-saving upgrade.
Will you remove and recycle my old toilet?
Absolutely. We protect your floors, drain residual water, and haul the old unit away. Usable porcelain is delivered to a Chicagoland recycling facility where it’s crushed for road-base aggregate, diverting material from the landfill. This service is included in our flat-rate installation price—no hidden disposal fees.
