FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my toilet instead of just repairing it?
If your toilet is over 20 years old, needs frequent repairs, shows hairline cracks in the tank or bowl, rocks at the base, or has become noticeably inefficient (uses more than 1.6 gal per flush), replacement is often the most cost-effective option. Our Sequatchie-based licensed plumbers can inspect the fixture, give you a repair-vs-replace cost comparison, and recommend high-efficiency models that meet current plumbing codes.
What kinds of toilets do you install in Sequatchie, and which one is best for my home?
We install all modern styles—two-piece, one-piece, wall-hung, comfort-height, pressure-assist, and dual-flush WaterSense models. The best choice depends on your bathroom’s rough-in size (typically 12 in.), water pressure, and whether you want extra features such as bidet seats or soft-close lids. During an on-site visit, our licensed plumber will measure, review your preferences, and provide model recommendations that balance comfort, water savings, and budget.
How long does a professional toilet replacement take from start to finish?
Most standard replacements take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. That includes draining and removing the old unit, inspecting the flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting and leveling the new toilet, connecting supply lines, and testing for leaks. If flange repairs, subfloor damage, or water-line relocations are needed, the project may extend to half a day. We give precise timelines after the initial assessment.
What is the average cost of a toilet upgrade in Sequatchie, and what factors affect the price?
Basic replacement—including a quality WaterSense toilet, new supply line, wax ring, and labor—typically ranges from $450 to $750. Premium one-piece or pressure-assist models, comfort-height bowls, or custom colors can raise material costs. Extra labor is involved if we need to reposition the drain, repair the flange, or replace shut-off valves. Before any work begins, we provide a written, itemized quote so there are no surprises.
Do you haul away and recycle my old toilet?
Yes. As part of our standard service, we remove the old fixture, recycle any porcelain that qualifies for aggregate reuse, and dispose of metal or plastic components according to Sequatchie County waste-management guidelines. This saves you the hassle of transporting a bulky, potentially hazardous item.
Are your installations covered by a warranty, and do you pull the necessary permits?
All toilet installations come with a 1-year labor warranty, plus the manufacturer’s parts warranty (typically 3 to 10 years on the porcelain). Because we are state-licensed plumbers, we handle any required permits and schedule inspections with the Sequatchie County Building Department when code dictates—usually when drain lines or vent stacks are modified. This ensures your new toilet meets the 2021 IPC and Tennessee state plumbing regulations.
