FAQs
What kinds of toilet upgrades and replacement options do you offer in Rutledge?
Our background-checked plumbers install a full range of modern toilets, including high-efficiency 1.28-gpf models, dual-flush units, pressure-assisted toilets for commercial settings, comfort-height/ADA-compliant bowls, skirted designs, and smart toilets with bidet functions. We help you compare flushing performance, water savings, bowl shapes, rough-in sizes, and style so you can select the perfect fit for your bathroom and budget.
How can I tell whether my existing toilet should be repaired or completely replaced?
Warning signs that replacement is usually more cost-effective include recurring clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, a wobbly base caused by flange damage, visible porcelain deterioration, continuously running water, and skyrocketing water bills from older 3.5-gpf or higher units. During a free on-site inspection, our licensed plumber will test flush performance, check the wax ring and flange, inspect for hidden leaks, and give you an honest estimate for repair versus replacement.
Are your plumbers really background-checked and properly licensed?
Yes. Every technician we send to your Rutledge home passes a national criminal background screening, drug test, and verification of state plumbing license and insurance. We badge our plumbers with photo ID and require ongoing safety and customer-service training, so you can feel comfortable letting them work inside your home.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
Most standard swap-outs take 1.5–2 hours after we arrive: 15 minutes to protect floors and shut off water, 30 minutes to drain and remove the old toilet, 20 minutes to inspect/repair the flange and install a new reinforced wax or silicone seal, 30 minutes to set and level the new toilet, and the remainder for fill-valve adjustment, leak testing, and cleanup. Complex jobs that involve flange repair, tile work, or relocating the rough-in can extend the timeline, but we’ll provide a clear estimate before any work begins.
What does a toilet upgrade or replacement usually cost in the Rutledge area?
For a straightforward replacement using a homeowner-supplied toilet, labor starts around $225. Most customers choose one of our curated water-saving models, bringing the total project to $525–$950 depending on brand, flushing technology, seat type, and any flange repair. We’ll itemize all parts, labor, and taxes upfront—no hidden fees—and we back our workmanship with a two-year warranty. Financing and utility rebate guidance are also available.
Do you handle disposal of the old toilet and any required permits?
Absolutely. We remove the old toilet, bag it to prevent drips, and haul it to an approved recycling or disposal site at no extra charge. If your project involves moving the drain or altering the supply line, our office will file the necessary Rutledge plumbing permit and arrange for inspection. You won’t have to worry about paperwork or mess—just enjoy your new, efficient toilet.
