FAQs
What types of toilet upgrades do you offer for homeowners in Walland?
We install high-efficiency toilets (HETs) that use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, dual-flush models that give you a choice between a full and partial flush, comfort-height toilets that sit 2â3 inches higher for easier access, and space-saving round-front or wall-hung units. We also provide smart toilet options with bidet seats, heated seats, and automatic flushing. During our on-site visit weâll measure your rough-in, review your water pressure, and recommend the best models for your householdâs needs and budget.
How long does a typical toilet replacement take?
For most standard replacements, our Walland plumbing team completes the job in about two to three hours. This includes shutting off and draining the old unit, removing it without damage to surrounding flooring, inspecting and cleaning the drain flange, installing a new wax or rubber seal, setting and leveling the new toilet, reconnecting the water supply, and performing a full operational test. If we need to repair a damaged flange, replace corroded shut-off valves, or move the rough-in, the project may extend to half a day.
Do I need to replace my toilet if it only has minor leaks or running water?
Not always. Sometimes a leaky flapper, worn fill valve, or loose tank-to-bowl bolts cause the issue, and those parts can be replaced inexpensively. During our clean-removal service, we inspect the internal components first. If the tank or bowl is cracked, the porcelain is deteriorating, or the unit wastes more than 3.5 gallons per flush, we generally recommend a full replacement because repairs become cost-prohibitive and water savings from a new model will offset the upgrade quickly.
Will a new high-efficiency toilet really lower my water bill?
Yes. Older toilets often use 3.5â7 gallons per flush (gpf). Upgrading to a WaterSense-certified HET that uses 1.28 gpf can save the average Walland household up to 13,000 gallons of water per yearâabout $100â$120 in utility costs. Dual-flush models can provide even greater savings for families that frequently use the reduced 0.8â1.1 gpf setting for liquid waste.
How do you ensure a clean removal with no mess or odor?
We begin by fully draining and sponging out the tank and bowl, then sealing the waste outlet to prevent drips and odors. Drop cloths and shoe covers protect your floors, and we place the old toilet in a lined removal bin immediately after lifting it. Any residual wax is scraped into a disposal bag, and the flange area is sanitized before the new seal goes down. Finally, we haul the old unit away for eco-friendly recycling or disposal, leaving your bathroom spotless.
Are permits or inspections required for toilet replacements in Walland?
In most cases a straight swap of an existing toilet does not require a building permit in Blount County. However, if the work involves relocating the drain, modifying the vent stack, or upgrading from a standard to a pressure-assist or wall-hung system, the county may require a plumbing permit and inspection. We handle all permit applications for you and schedule the inspector when necessary to ensure full code compliance.
