FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my existing toilet rather than repair it?
Frequent clogs, cracks in the porcelain, wobbling at the base, recurring leaks, or noticeably higher water bills are all signs your toilet has reached the end of its service life. In Rockwood, older 13-litre-per-flush models can be replaced with modern 4.8- or even 3-litre high-efficiency units, saving up to 70 % on water use. If repairs will cost more than half the price of a new, water-saving toilet, replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice.
What styles or technologies of toilets do you offer for upgrades in Rockwood?
Clear Communication Plumbing supplies and installs single-flush, dual-flush, pressure-assisted, skirted, comfort-height and wall-hung toilets from leading brands such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard and Gerber. We help you compare water-efficiency ratings, bowl shapes, rough-in sizes, and seat heights to ensure the model you choose meets Rockwood building code, fits your bathroom layout, and maximises comfort.
Do I need a plumbing permit to replace a toilet in Rockwood, and will you handle the paperwork?
Simple like-for-like toilet swaps usually do not require a municipal permit in Rockwood. However, if the upgrade involves moving the flange, altering drainage lines, or installing a wall-hung carrier system, a plumbing permit is mandatory. Our licensed technicians will advise you during the in-home assessment and, if a permit is needed, we complete and file all documentation with the Township of Guelph/Eramosa’s Building Services on your behalf.
How long does a typical toilet replacement appointment take?
For a straightforward replacement using the existing rough-in, our team can remove the old unit, inspect and level the flange, install a new wax ring or rubber seal, set the new toilet, and test for leaks in about 1.5 to 2 hours. If sub-floor repairs, flange relocation, or supply-line upgrades are required, the visit may extend to 3–4 hours. We give you a precise time estimate after the initial site inspection.
What is the average cost of a toilet upgrade in Rockwood?
Pricing depends on the model selected and any plumbing modifications needed. Standard water-saving toilets start around $425 installed, mid-range comfort-height or skirted units average $650–$850, and premium pressure-assisted or wall-hung systems can range from $1,100 to $1,800 installed. All quotes from Clear Communication Plumbing include removal and eco-friendly disposal of your old toilet, new supply line, wax/rubber seal, labour, and full workmanship warranty—no hidden fees.
How do you dispose of my old toilet, and is it environmentally responsible?
After removal, we separate the porcelain bowl and tank from metal and plastic components. Porcelain is transported to an approved aggregate recycler in Wellington County where it is crushed for use in road base and fill, while metal hardware is taken to a scrap facility for smelting. Any remaining plastic or rubber parts are sorted for recycling where possible, keeping your old fixture out of Rockwood’s landfill
