FAQs

What are the most common signs that I should upgrade or replace my toilet?

Frequent clogs, hairline cracks in the tank or bowl, constant running or refilling, wobbling at the base, and noticeably higher water bills are all warning signs. If your toilet is more than 20 years old, it likely uses 3–5 gallons per flush, which can be twice the water of today’s high-efficiency models. Our certified plumbers can perform a quick inspection in your Walland home and let you know if a simple repair or a full replacement is the smarter choice.

Which toilet styles and features do you recommend for Walland homeowners?

We look at your bathroom layout, plumbing rough-in, and lifestyle before recommending products. Popular choices include: (1) WaterSense-labeled high-efficiency toilets using 1.28 gpf or less, (2) Comfort-height or ADA-height models that sit 2 inches higher than standard, (3) One-piece designs for easy cleaning, (4) Dual-flush systems that let you pick 0.8 or 1.28 gpf, and (5) Soft-close seats and hidden-trapway bowls for a sleek look. We work with trusted brands such as Kohler, American Standard, and Toto and back every installation with our workmanship warranty.

How long does a professional toilet replacement usually take?

For a straightforward swap (same location, no floor repairs), our certified plumbers can complete the job in about two hours: 30 minutes to drain and remove the old unit, 30 minutes to clean and prep the flange and water supply, and roughly 60 minutes to set the new toilet, level it, secure the bolts, connect the supply line, and test for leaks. If you need flange repair, subfloor work, or major caulking and trim, plan on 3–4 hours. We book appointments in two-hour arrival windows to minimize disruption to your day.

Can a high-efficiency toilet really lower my utility bills?

Yes. Replacing a 3.5 gpf toilet with a 1.28 gpf WaterSense model saves about 16,500 gallons of water per year for an average family of four. At Blount County’s current water rates, that equates to roughly $120 in annual savings. Add in the possibility of local rebates, and most homeowners recoup the cost of the new toilet in two to three years. Our team can calculate your exact payback period based on your latest Walland water bill.

Do you remove the old toilet and clean up after the installation?

Absolutely. Our full-service replacement includes shutting off and draining the old unit, safely removing it without scratching your floors, installing a new wax or rubber seal, and hauling away the old toilet for eco-friendly disposal or recycling. We disinfect the work area, polish the new fixture, and leave your bathroom as clean—or cleaner—than we found it. All debris is bagged and disposed of properly so you do not have to lift a finger.

Are permits or inspections required for a toilet replacement in Walland, and do you handle the paperwork?

In most cases, swapping a toilet like-for-like in Walland does not require a plumbing permit. However, if we need to move the drain line, modify venting, or alter any structural components, a permit and county inspection could be needed. Our office checks municipal and Blount County regulations before each job. If a permit is required, we file the application, pay any associated fees, and coordinate the inspection at no extra hassle to you.
