FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my toilet instead of repairing it?
Frequent clogging, cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running, noticeable wobbling, and rising water bills are the most common warning signs. In Sevierville’s older cabins and homes, mineral-rich well water can accelerate wear on internal components, making recurring repairs less cost-effective. If your toilet is more than 15–20 years old or uses more than 1.6 gallons per flush, replacement will often save money on both parts and water consumption.
How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take and what is your process?
Most straight swaps take 2–3 hours. We begin by shutting off the supply, draining the old unit, and protecting surrounding flooring. After removing the old toilet, we inspect the flange, install a new wax (or wax-free) seal, set and level the new bowl, and secure the tank. Once connected, we test for leaks, caulk the base, haul away the old toilet, and dispose of it per Sevier County regulations. If the flange needs repair, add about an hour.
What types of toilets do you recommend for Sevierville homes and short-term rentals?
High-efficiency 1.28 GPF (or less) comfort-height toilets from Kohler, Toto, and American Standard are popular for primary residences because they cut water use by up to 20 %. For cabins and nightly rentals, we often install pressure-assist or dual-flush models that handle high guest turnover without clogging. All options we suggest meet Tennessee plumbing code, and many carry WaterSense certification for possible utility rebates.
Can upgrading my toilet lower my water bill and are there local rebates?
Yes. Swapping an older 3.5 GPF toilet with a WaterSense 1.28 GPF model cuts usage by roughly 60 %, saving about 12,000 gallons per year for an average family of four—often $80–$100 annually on Sevierville Utility District bills. The City of Sevierville periodically offers $50–$100 rebates for WaterSense toilets; we’ll supply the paperwork and serial numbers so you can claim any active incentive.
Do you handle disposal, permits, and inspections?
Absolutely. We remove and recycle or properly landfill your old porcelain at the Sevier Solid Waste facility, so you don’t have to lift a finger. Most like-for-like replacements don’t require permits, but if we relocate the toilet or modify drain lines, we obtain the required Sevier County plumbing permit and coordinate inspection at no extra hassle to you.
What does a toilet upgrade cost in Sevierville and what factors affect price?
Standard replacements typically range from $475 to $825 installed, depending on fixture brand, rough-in size (10", 12", or 14"), seat style, and whether additional repairs—such as flange replacement or shut-off valve upgrades—are needed. High-end smart toilets with integrated bidet functions can exceed $2,000. We provide a free on-site estimate so you’ll know the exact investment before work begins.
