FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for your toilet upgrade and replacement services in Rockwood?
Up-front pricing means you know the full, guaranteed cost of the job before any work begins. After a licensed plumber inspects your bathroom and confirms the scope—whether it’s a like-for-like replacement or a full upgrade—we give you a written quote that covers labor, the new toilet, minor flange or supply-line adjustments, haul-away of the old fixture, taxes, and standard disposal fees. The price will not change unless you ask for additional work that wasn’t in the original quote, so there are no surprise charges when we finish.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
For most standard replacements in Rockwood homes, the entire process—shutting off water, draining the old toilet, removing it, prepping the flange, installing the new toilet, testing for leaks, and cleaning up—takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. If we discover subfloor rot, a damaged flange, or you request extra services (e.g., installing a bidet seat or new shut-off valve), the job can extend to half a day. We’ll let you know any time impacts before we start so you can plan accordingly.
Do you carry eco-friendly or high-efficiency toilet models, and will they really save money?
Yes. We stock WaterSense-certified, dual-flush, and pressure-assisted toilets that use as little as 1.0–1.28 gallons per flush versus the older 3.5–5-gallon models. Based on typical Rockwood water rates, upgrading to a high-efficiency toilet can save a family of four up to 13,000 gallons of water and roughly $120 per year. We’ll explain the performance differences, warranty details, and payback period so you can choose the option that fits your comfort and budget goals.
Can you remove and dispose of my old toilet, and is there an extra fee?
Absolutely. Haul-away and environmentally responsible disposal of your old toilet are included in our standard up-front price. We separate porcelain for recycling when possible and follow all Rockwood waste-management regulations. You pay nothing extra unless you’d like us to transport additional bathroom fixtures or debris not related to the toilet replacement.
Will I need a permit or inspection to replace my toilet in Rockwood?
In most cases, a straightforward, same-location toilet swap does not require a city permit. However, if the upgrade involves relocating plumbing lines, modifying the drain stack, or performing structural floor repairs, Rockwood’s building code may trigger a plumbing permit and inspection. Our team checks local regulations before scheduling the work; if a permit is required, we’ll pull it on your behalf and include the filing fee in your written quote.
What signs indicate it’s better to upgrade rather than repair my existing toilet?
Consider replacement when you see any of these common issues: (1) persistent clogs despite normal use, (2) hairline or visible cracks in the tank or bowl, (3) a rocking base or corroded flange that keeps loosening, (4) rising water bills from constant running or frequent flushes, (5) mineral buildup that can’t be removed, or (6) your toilet was manufactured before 1994 and uses more than 3.5 gallons per flush. Upgrading eliminates repeated service calls, lowers water consumption, and gives you access to modern comfort features like soft-close seats and bidet compatibility.
