FAQs
What is a comfort-height commode, and how does it differ from a standard toilet?
A comfort-height commode has a seat that sits 17–19 inches from the floor—roughly the same height as a standard dining-room chair—while traditional toilets are usually 14–15 inches high. The extra height makes it easier for most adults to sit down and stand up, reducing strain on knees and hips and improving overall bathroom accessibility without sacrificing style or flushing performance.
Why should I upgrade to a comfort-height toilet for my Whitwell home?
Homeowners in Whitwell often choose comfort-height toilets for three main reasons: 1) Accessibility—taller seats help seniors, people with mobility challenges, and taller individuals. 2) Modern efficiency—newer models use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush, lowering water bills. 3) Increased property value—buyers increasingly look for accessible, water-saving fixtures, making a comfort-height upgrade a smart investment.
Are comfort-height commodes ADA-compliant and safe for elderly or disabled users?
Most comfort-height toilets meet the ADA requirement for a 17–19-inch seat height when installed with the correct seat. When combined with properly positioned grab bars, they can significantly improve bathroom safety for seniors and people with disabilities. We supply models that carry third-party ADA certification and can complete installations that comply fully with local Tennessee building codes.
How long will a comfort-height toilet replacement take, and will the water be shut off all day?
A straightforward swap in Whitwell typically takes 1.5–2 hours. We isolate the water supply only to the bathroom for about 20–30 minutes while we remove the old toilet and install the new flange seal, wax ring, and supply line. After installation we pressurize, leak-test, and haul away the old unit—so disruption to your daily routine is minimal.
What does it cost to install or replace a comfort-height commode in Whitwell, and do you offer financing?
Prices generally range from $350 to $1,200 installed, depending on the brand, flushing technology, seat style, and any plumbing upgrades such as flange repairs. We provide free on-site quotes and several payment options, including 0% short-term financing for qualified customers. All pricing is upfront with no hidden disposal or permit fees.
Can you remove my old toilet and handle any plumbing modifications during the upgrade?
Yes. Our licensed Whitwell plumbers remove and responsibly dispose of your existing toilet, inspect the flange and waste line, and replace worn shut-off valves or supply lines as needed. If floor height or rough-in adjustments are required, we complete them during the same visit and back every installation with a workmanship warranty.
