FAQs
When should I consider replacing my toilet instead of repairing it?
A toilet should be replaced when it shows hairline cracks in the bowl or tank, requires frequent plunging because of worn internal components, or when repair costs approach 50% of the price of a new fixture. Homeowners in Wartburg often choose replacement during bathroom remodels or when upgrading to water-saving models to lower utility costs.
What advantages do modern high-efficiency toilets (HETs) offer Wartburg homeowners?
High-efficiency toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush—about 20–60% less water than older 3.5-gallon units—saving up to 13,000 gallons per year for a family of four. They feature improved siphon jet designs for powerful, clog-resistant flushing, quieter fill valves, and, in many cases, rebates from local utilities for water conservation.
How long will a professional toilet replacement take?
Our licensed plumbers typically complete a straightforward swap-out in 1–2 hours, including removal of the old toilet, inspection of the flange, installation of a new wax ring or rubber seal, precise leveling, and a full leak test. If subfloor or flange repairs are required, the job can extend to 3–4 hours.
Do I need a permit in Wartburg for a toilet upgrade or replacement?
Most single-fixture replacements do not require a building permit in Wartburg as long as no drain line rerouting is involved. However, if the job is part of a larger renovation or involves relocating the toilet, a plumbing permit and inspection may be necessary. Our team confirms code compliance and handles any required paperwork on your behalf.
Will your plumbers remove and recycle my old toilet?
Yes. We disconnect, drain, and bag the old fixture to prevent mess, then transport it to a local construction-and-demolition recycling site where porcelain can be ground for aggregate. This service is included in our quoted price, so you aren’t left with bulky waste on pickup day.
What kind of warranty do you provide on new toilet installations?
All installations come with a two-part warranty: (1) the manufacturer’s warranty on the fixture itself—typically 5–10 years on porcelain and 1–3 years on internal parts—plus (2) our own 12-month labor warranty covering leaks, loose mounts, and any installation-related issues. If a problem arises, just call and we’ll service it at no additional cost.
