FAQs
What are the most common signs that my toilet should be replaced rather than repaired?
If your toilet is more than 15–20 years old, requires frequent plunge sessions, shows visible cracks in the tank or bowl, has chronic leaks around the base, or wobbles even after the flange has been tightened, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Older toilets in Signal Mountain also use 3–5 gallons per flush, far more than today’s 1.28-gpf WaterSense models, so upgrading lowers both water waste and utility costs.
How long does a typical toilet upgrade or replacement take in a Signal Mountain home?
For most standard installations, our licensed plumbers can remove the old fixture, inspect the flange and supply lines, set the new wax ring, level the new toilet, and test for leaks in about 90 minutes to two hours. If subfloor damage, flange corrosion, or unexpected plumbing code issues arise, the job may extend to half a day, but we’ll discuss any findings with you before work continues.
What kinds of modern toilets do you install and recommend?
We carry and install a full range of WaterSense-certified high-efficiency toilets (HETs), comfort-height ADA models, pressure-assist units for homes with low water pressure, bidet-seat-ready bowls, and smart toilets with heated seats and automatic flush. Brands we commonly recommend for Signal Mountain households include Kohler, Toto, American Standard, and Gerber, all backed by manufacturer warranties and our own labor guarantee.
Will upgrading my toilet really save water and money, and are there local rebates?
Yes. Swapping a 3.5-gallon-per-flush toilet for a 1.28-gpf HET can save a family of four more than 13,000 gallons—and roughly $120—per year. EPB and Tennessee American Water periodically offer bill credits or rebates for WaterSense toilets; we’ll help you fill out the paperwork and supply the proof-of-installation photos required to claim them.
How much does professional toilet replacement cost, and what factors affect pricing?
In the Signal Mountain area, a straightforward replacement with a quality mid-range HET generally runs $450–$750, inclusive of the toilet, wax ring, new stainless-steel supply line, haul-away, and labor. Costs rise if you choose smart or wall-hung units, need flange repairs, or request subfloor rebuilding or custom trim work. We provide a written, no-surprise quote before any work begins.
Do you remove the old toilet and handle disposal in an environmentally responsible way?
Absolutely. Our technicians will shut off the water, drain and detach the existing toilet, and place it in protective wrap to prevent drips on your floors. We transport old porcelain fixtures to the proper Hamilton County recycling facility where they’re crushed into aggregate for roadbeds, keeping bulky waste out of local landfills. This service is included in every replacement package at no extra charge.
