FAQs
How can I tell whether my toilet needs to be repaired or completely replaced?
Several warning signs point to a full replacement: persistent leaks around the base, hairline cracks in the tank or bowl, frequent clogs despite a clear drain line, a wobbly toilet that can’t be stabilized with new bolts or a flange repair, and high water bills caused by an older 3.5-gallon-per-flush model. During our on-site visit we run a dye test, inspect the porcelain for hidden fractures, and measure flush volume to confirm whether a simple repair will suffice or if a new, water-efficient unit is the smarter long-term choice.
What kinds of high-efficiency toilets (HETs) do you install in Sweetwater and how much water can they save?
We carry WaterSense-certified single-flush, dual-flush, pressure-assisted, and skirted one-piece models from leading brands such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber. These units use 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less—up to 60 % less water than pre-1994 toilets that use 3.5–7.0 GPF. For an average Sweetwater household of four, switching to an HET can conserve roughly 13,000 gallons and trim $110–$150 off annual water bills.
Do I need a plumbing permit for a toilet replacement in Sweetwater, and who handles the inspection?
Yes. The City of Sweetwater requires a residential plumbing permit whenever a toilet is moved or its drain flange is altered. As licensed Master Plumbers, we pull the permit on your behalf, schedule any required rough-in or final inspections, and provide the inspector with specification sheets that prove the new fixture meets Texas state and local code. All fees are included in our written estimate, so there are no surprise costs or paperwork for you to juggle.
How long does a professional toilet upgrade take from start to finish?
A straightforward swap in the same location typically takes 1.5–2 hours, including removal of the old fixture, wax ring replacement, supply-line installation, and thorough leak testing. If we’re relocating the toilet, repairing subflooring, or adding a bidet seat outlet, plan on 4–6 hours. Most projects are completed in a single visit; permitting and inspection, when required, may add an additional day, but you will never be left without a functioning toilet overnight.
What is the average cost of a toilet replacement in Sweetwater and what does the price include?
For a standard WaterSense two-piece toilet, expect a turnkey price of $495–$725. This covers the fixture, removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old unit, new wax ring, mounting hardware, braided stainless supply line, permit fees, and labor by a licensed plumber. Premium one-piece or pressure-assisted models range from $850–$1,400 installed. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate upfront and offer 0 % same-as-cash financing for qualified homeowners.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
All toilets we install carry the manufacturer’s porcelain and parts warranty (typically 5–10 years). In addition, our workmanship is covered by a written two-year labor warranty—double the state minimum. If you experience any leak, rocking, or fill-valve issue during that period, we return at no charge. We also register your product with the manufacturer, maintain digital copies of the permit and inspection documents, and send a complimentary annual flush-valve checkup reminder so your new toilet keeps performing at peak efficiency.
