FAQs
What are the main reasons homeowners in Sevierville choose to upgrade or replace their toilets?
The most common motivations are improving water efficiency to lower utility bills, replacing outdated or cracked porcelain, solving chronic clogging or flushing problems, enhancing bathroom aesthetics, and meeting ADA-compliant height standards for easier accessibility.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take from start to finish?
For a straightforward swap, our licensed plumbers can remove the old unit, inspect the flange, install the new toilet, and test all connections in about 1–2 hours. If subfloor repairs, flange replacement, or additional plumbing modifications are required, the job can extend to half a day.
Do I need a permit for a toilet replacement in Sevierville?
A like-for-like toilet replacement usually does not require a plumbing permit. However, if the project involves relocating the toilet, changing drain lines, or making structural alterations, Sevierville’s building department may require permitting and inspection. We handle all permit applications on your behalf when they are necessary.
How much water can I save by upgrading to a modern high-efficiency toilet (HET)?
Standard older toilets use 3.5–5 gallons per flush, while today’s HETs use 1.28 gallons or less. For a typical family of four, this can cut toilet water usage by up to 16,500 gallons annually—often trimming $100 or more from yearly water bills in Sevier County.
What brands or models do you recommend for reliable performance in our area?
We install and service trusted brands like Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber. Popular local choices include Toto Drake II for its tornado flush system, Kohler Cimarron for its comfort height and AquaPiston technology, and American Standard Cadet 3 for budget-friendly dependability.
Can you dispose of my old toilet, and is it recyclable?
Yes. We haul away your old toilet at no extra charge and transport it to an approved recycling facility whenever possible. Porcelain can be crushed and reused in roadbed aggregate or new ceramic products, reducing landfill waste in Sevier County.
