FAQs
How do I know when itâs time to upgrade or replace my toilet?
Several warning signs point to the need for a new toilet: frequent clogs, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running or âphantomâ flushing, visible wobbling at the base, rising water bills caused by leaks, and outdated 3.5-gpf (gallons per flush) models installed before 1994. If youâre seeing any of these issues, an upgrade will save you water, reduce repair costs, and improve bathroom comfort.
What are the benefits of installing a high-efficiency toilet with Phantom Flushes Plumbing?
Modern high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use as little as 1.28 gpfâor 0.8 gpf for dual-flush modelsâcutting water consumption by up to 60 %. Youâll see lower utility bills, reduce environmental impact, and enjoy quieter, faster refills. Our preferred models also feature glazed trapways that resist clogs and pressure-assisted flushing for superior performance.
What is included in Phantom Flushes Plumbingâs toilet replacement service for Sale Creek homeowners?
Our turnkey package covers: (1) pre-visit assessment and water-pressure test, (2) delivery of the new toilet, wax ring or neoprene seal, stainless-steel closet bolts, and braided supply line, (3) safe removal and eco-friendly disposal or recycling of your old unit, (4) precise leveling and shim work on your existing flange, (5) leak and flush performance testing, and (6) a written two-year labor warranty backed by our fully licensed and insured team.
How long will the upgrade take and will I lose water to the rest of my house?
A standard replacement job usually takes 1.5â2 hours. We shut off water only to the toiletâs angle stop, so the rest of your plumbing stays operational. If we discover flange damage or sub-floor rot, repairs may extend the visit, but weâll give you a clear timetable and upfront pricing before proceeding.
Can you dispose of my old toilet responsibly?
Yes. We remove the old toilet at no extra charge. Intact porcelain is taken to a concrete recycler in Chattanooga where itâs crushed for roadbed aggregate, and metal hardware is separated for scrap recycling. You receive documentation of responsible disposal upon request.
Which toilet brands and styles do you recommend, and can you match my bathroom dĂŠcor?
We regularly install Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber because they offer reliable parts availability and strong warranties. You can choose from one-piece, two-piece, skirted, compact elongated, chair-height, or wall-hung styles in a variety of colors and finishes. Bring us photos or paint swatches, and weâll help you pick a model that complements your tile, vanity, and fixtures while meeting your budget and performance goals.
