FAQs
How can I tell if my current toilet needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Persistent clogs, cracked porcelain, frequent leaks around the base, excessive water usage, and the need for repeated internal part replacements are the biggest warning signs. If your toilet is more than 20 years old, upgrading can immediately reduce water consumption by up to 60 %, making replacement more cost-effective than continual repairs.
What high-efficiency or specialty toilets do your licensed technicians install in Washburn?
We install WaterSense-certified single-flush and dual-flush toilets, pressure-assisted models for commercial settings, skirted one-piece designs for easier cleaning, wall-hung units that save floor space, and ADA-compliant comfort-height toilets. All products we recommend meet state plumbing codes and come from reputable manufacturers such as Toto, Kohler, American Standard, and Gerber.
How long does a typical toilet upgrade or replacement appointment take?
Most standard replacements take 1.5–3 hours from shut-off to cleanup. This includes draining and removing the old toilet, inspecting and replacing the wax ring or flange if needed, installing the new fixture, leak testing, and hauling away debris. More complex jobs—such as relocating the rough-in or installing wall-mounted toilets—can take 4–6 hours or require a secondary visit for drywall or tile repair.
Will you handle disposal of my old toilet and ensure everything is up to code?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers remove and recycle or dispose of your old toilet in accordance with Washburn city guidelines. During installation we verify that flange height, shut-off valves, and venting meet North Dakota plumbing code, and we pull any required permits when structural changes are involved.
How much does a toilet replacement cost, and do you offer financing or warranties?
Prices vary based on toilet style and any flange or supply line repairs, but most residential projects range from $450 to $1,100 installed. All new toilets come with a manufacturer’s parts warranty (typically 1–5 years) and our one-year labor guarantee. We partner with local lenders to offer zero-interest financing for qualified homeowners, and we provide written estimates before any work begins.
Do you serve the entire Washburn area and offer emergency or after-hours service?
Absolutely. Our team covers all of Washburn and surrounding McLean County communities. Standard appointments are available Monday–Friday, but if your only toilet fails unexpectedly we offer 24/7 emergency service with rapid response times—usually within 60 minutes inside city limits—to get you back up and running quickly.
