FAQs
How do I know it’s time to upgrade or replace my toilet?
Common indicators include chronic clogs, cracks in the porcelain, constantly running water, difficulty finding replacement parts for older models, wobbling at the base, and higher-than-average water bills. If you notice any of these issues, a modern high-efficiency toilet (HET) can solve the problem while lowering your water usage.
What flush technologies are available for new toilets in Winfield?
Today’s choices go far beyond the old gravity-flush standard. You can opt for pressure-assisted, dual-flush, vacuum-assist, and even touchless smart-flush systems. Each uses a different mechanism to boost flushing power or reduce water consumption. Our team evaluates your home’s water pressure, drain line length, and budget to recommend the best match.
How much water (and money) can I save with a high-efficiency toilet?
High-efficiency models use 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less, versus 3.5–7 gpf for many pre-1994 toilets. In an average Winfield household of four, that can translate to 10,000–13,000 gallons saved annually—about $80–$120 off the water bill every year, depending on local rates.
What is involved in a professional toilet replacement and how long does it take?
A standard swap-out typically takes 1.5–2 hours. We shut off the water, drain and remove the old unit, inspect and replace the wax ring or use an upgraded wax-free seal, set and level the new bowl, connect the tank or one-piece, attach the supply line, and test for leaks and proper flush performance. We also haul away the old toilet for environmentally responsible disposal.
Do I need a permit to replace my toilet in Winfield?
For a like-for-like residential replacement, the City of Winfield does not usually require a separate plumbing permit, but any modification to drain lines or relocation of the fixture may trigger one. Our licensed plumbers stay current on codes and file permits when necessary, so you stay fully compliant.
Can you recycle or dispose of my old porcelain toilet responsibly?
Yes. We partner with local recycling facilities that crush porcelain toilets into aggregate for road base or new tile products. If recycling isn’t available, we ensure proper landfill disposal. Either way, you won’t have to lift or transport the old unit yourself.
