FAQs
What is a comfort-height toilet and how is it different from a standard bowl?
A comfort-height, or "right-height," toilet has a seat that is 17â19 inches from the floorâroughly the same height as a standard chairâcompared with 14â15 inches on traditional models. The extra height makes sitting down and standing up easier for adults, tall users, seniors, and people with limited mobility, while still working the same way as a conventional toilet.
Why should I consider upgrading to a comfort-height bowl in my Sale Creek home?
Upgrading improves accessibility, reduces strain on knees and back, and can add a modern look to your bathroom. Many home buyers now list comfort-height toilets as a desirable feature, so the upgrade can also increase resale appeal in the Sale Creek market. In addition, new toilets typically use 1.28 gpf or less, cutting water use by up to 20-60 % compared with older 3.5 gpf fixtures.
Are comfort-height toilets ADA-compliant?
Most comfort-height toilets meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement of a 17â19-inch seat height when measured from the finished floor to the top of the seat. If full ADA compliance is importantâfor example, in commercial or multi-family propertiesâlet us know and we will verify rough-in, flush-handle position, and clearance dimensions before installation.
Will a comfort-height toilet fit my existing bathroom plumbing?
In nearly every case, yes. Comfort-height models come in the same 10-, 12-, and 14-inch rough-in sizes as standard toilets, so they connect to your current floor flange and waste line without moving plumbing. Our technicians measure the rough-in, water-supply placement, and door clearances during the site visit to confirm compatibility and recommend any adjustments if your space is unusually tight.
How long does a toilet replacement take and will my water be shut off the whole time?
A straightforward swap in Sale Creek usually takes 1.5â2 hours: 15 minutes to drain and remove the old bowl, 30â45 minutes for flange inspection and new seal, and about 30 minutes to set, level, and test the new unit. We only shut off the water supply to the toiletânot the entire houseâand it is typically off for less than 30 minutes. Your bathroom is functional again the same day.
What does it cost to install or replace a comfort-height toilet in Sale Creek?
Pricing depends on the model you choose (gravity-flush, pressure-assist, dual-flush, or bidet combo) and whether flange repairs are needed. On average, customers spend $265â$425 for a high-efficiency comfort-height toilet plus $150â$225 for professional installation. We provide firm, up-front quotes that include removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old unit, new wax or rubber seal, supply line, and laborâno hidden fees.
