What does "all-inclusive pricing" really include?
Our all-inclusive price is a single, upfront cost for a complete, turnkey replacement service. It covers every part of the job from start to finish, so the price you see on our website is the final price you pay.
Your all-inclusive package includes:
The New Unit: The brand-new, expertly selected toilet or water heater.
All Supporting Materials: Every part and piece required for a standard installation.
Professional Installation: The complete installation service from one of our plumbing experts.
Testing & Inspection: Full testing to ensure your new unit works perfectly, plus coordination of a local inspection if one is required.

Your peace of mind is our top priority. Every job we complete is backed by our 1-Year Workmanship Guarantee, which covers all aspects of our installation labor and the supporting materials we use.
In the unlikely event you experience a problem, simply contact us. We will schedule a visit to diagnose the issue. If it's related to our workmanship, we will resolve it promptly at no cost to you.
We also assist with rare manufacturer defects. While your new unit is protected by a separate multi-year manufacturer's warranty, we will act as your advocate to help you navigate the process and ensure the problem gets solved.
You are never on your own when you choose Tanks & Toilets. For full details, you can visit our warranty page here.
Are there any hidden fees or extra charges I should know about?
Absolutely not. The price you see on our website is the final, all-inclusive price you pay. Our business was built on transparency, which means no hidden fees, no up-sells, and no surprise charges.
Our straightforward pricing is possible because our service is designed for the direct replacement of an existing, functional unit. This means that for a standard installation, your home must have the necessary infrastructure already in place (e.g., existing water lines, drains, and proper venting or gas/electrical connections).
In the rare event we arrive and find the site isn't ready for a standard replacement, we would not be able to complete the installation. In this situation, we will cancel the order and issue you an immediate full refund.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
Yes. We've partnered with Affirm to provide flexible payment options at checkout, so you can get your home back to normal now and pay over time. You can choose from two simple plans:
1. Pay in 4 Interest-Free Payments
This option lets you split your purchase into four equal payments, made every two weeks, with no interest. It's a great way to spread out the cost over a short period without any extra fees when you pay on time.
2. Monthly Payments
For a longer-term plan, you can choose to make monthly payments over 3, 6, or 12 months. Checking your eligibility is fast, won't affect your credit score, and you may qualify for rates as low as 0% APR.
Simply select Affirm at checkout to see which options are available for your purchase. For more details, please visit our .
What areas do you currently service?
We currently offer our 24-hour installation service in two major metropolitan areas, generally covering an approximately 30-mile radius around both Oklahoma City and Phoenix.
Our primary service areas include:
- Oklahoma: The greater Oklahoma City metro, including major surrounding cities like Norman, Edmond, Moore, Yukon, and Midwest City.
- Arizona: The greater Phoenix metro, including major surrounding cities like Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and Glendale.
If you live near one of these metros but don't see your specific town listed, you may still be in our service range. Please feel free to contact us to confirm availability!
What do I need to do after I place my order online?
Very little! Our process is designed to be as simple and hands-off for you as possible. Here’s what will happen next:
- Order Confirmation: You will immediately receive confirmation of your order via email and text. A member of our team will then reach out to coordinate the best time for your installation within our 24-hour window.
- Send a Quick Photo: We will ask you to text us a quick photo of your current unit and the area around it. This simple step is incredibly helpful, as it ensures our plumbing expert arrives fully prepared for your specific situation.
- Sit Back & Relax: That's it! Your installer will notify you when they are on their way to complete the job.
Have a bad leak right now?
If you have an emergency leak, please let our team know when we contact you. We can immediately walk you through how to shut off the water to the unit while you wait for our expert to arrive.
Do I need to be home for the entire installation?
Yes, we do require that a homeowner or an authorized adult (18 years or older) is present at the property for the appointment.
However, you don't need to supervise our expert for the entire time. You only need to be available at two key moments:
- At the beginning, to grant access and confirm the work to be done.
- At the end, to review the completed installation, let us show you it's working perfectly, and sign off on the job.
Most standard replacements take between 2 to 4 hours. During that time, you are completely free to work from home or go about your day on the property. This policy ensures your home's security and that you are 100% satisfied with our work before we consider the job complete.
What kind of warranty is included with my purchase?
Every purchase from Tanks & Toilets is protected by two separate warranties to give you complete peace of mind: our installation guarantee and the manufacturer's product warranty.

Toilet Replacement
What specific toilet model do you install?
We exclusively install the American Standard Champion® PRO. After decades of experience in construction, we selected this specific model because we believe it is the best overall toilet for most homes, offering unmatched flushing power, long-term reliability, and incredible ease of maintenance.
The Champion PRO is renowned for its premium features, including:
- Powerful Clog-Free Flush: It’s engineered to prevent common household clogs and is famously proven to flush a bucket of golf balls in a single flush.
- PowerWash® Rim: This innovative feature scrubs the entire bowl clean with every single flush, making cleaning easier.
- EverClean® Surface: A permanent finish that inhibits the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew on the surface of the toilet.
- Water-Saving Performance: It is WaterSense® certified, using 20% less water than older toilets, which can help lower your water bill without sacrificing power.
To ensure the perfect fit for your family and bathroom, we offer the Champion PRO in the most popular options:
- Height: Choose between Standard Height (15") or Chair Height (16.5" and ADA compliant).
- Bowl Shape: Choose between a space-saving Round bowl or an Elongated bowl for added comfort.
- Color: We currently stock this model in a clean, classic white.
What is the difference between a standard height and a chair height toilet?
The main difference is the height of the toilet bowl from the floor to the seat, which has a significant impact on comfort and accessibility.
Standard Height Toilets
A standard height toilet measures approximately 15 inches from the floor to the seat. This has been the traditional height in most homes for decades and is a practical choice for households with children and adults of average height.
Chair Height Toilets (also known as Comfort Height)
A chair height toilet measures between 16.5 and 17 inches from the floor to the seat, similar to a standard dining room chair. This taller height makes it noticeably easier to sit down and stand up. This height is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is an excellent choice for:
- Taller individuals
- Seniors
- Anyone with knee, back, or mobility challenges
- Making a bathroom more accessible and comfortable for all adults
How to Choose:
Ultimately, the choice is about your household's needs. If you are looking for greater comfort and accessibility, especially for adults, Chair Height is a fantastic and popular upgrade. If you have a shared family bathroom with small children, Standard Height remains a classic, reliable option.
How do I choose between a round and an elongated toilet bowl?
Choosing the right toilet bowl shape comes down to two main factors: the amount of space in your bathroom and your preference for comfort. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you decide.
Round Bowls: The Space-Saver
A round bowl is the classic, compact choice. Because it doesn't extend as far from the wall, it's the ideal solution for smaller bathrooms, powder rooms, or half-baths where every inch of floor space counts. Many families also find the smaller opening is a good fit for young children.
Elongated Bowls: The Comfort Choice
An elongated bowl is oval-shaped and is about two inches longer than a round bowl. This extra length provides significantly more comfort and support for most adults and is the standard in most modern homes. It is the most popular choice for primary and master bathrooms where comfort is a top priority.
Our Recommendation:
- Choose an Elongated bowl if you have the space and comfort is your main priority.
- Choose a Round bowl if you need to maximize every inch in a smaller bathroom.
How powerful is the flush? Will it prevent clogs?
Yes, the American Standard Champion® PRO is specifically engineered to virtually eliminate common household clogs and features one of the most powerful residential flushes on the market.
Its performance is so effective that it’s famously tested and proven to flush a bucket of golf balls in a single flush. This ensures it can handle the demands of any busy household with ease.
This power comes from superior engineering, including an extra-large 4-inch flush valve that pushes water into the bowl significantly faster than a standard toilet. It achieves the industry's highest possible rating (1,000 grams) on the Maximum Performance (MaP) flush test.
Best of all, you don't have to sacrifice efficiency for this power. The Champion PRO is a high-efficiency, WaterSense® certified toilet, meaning you get a powerful, clog-free flush while also saving water and money.
Is the toilet easy to keep clean?
Yes, absolutely. The American Standard Champion® PRO was engineered with two specific technologies designed to keep the toilet cleaner for longer and to make your routine cleaning much easier.
1. PowerWash® Rim
Instead of a standard flush that can miss spots, the Champion PRO features a powerful PowerWash® rim. This technology releases pressurized water with each flush, creating a scrubbing action that scours the entire surface of the bowl from top to bottom, every single time.
2. EverClean® Surface
The toilet also includes American Standard's innovative EverClean® surface. This is not a chemical coating that wears off over time; it's a permanent glaze that is baked into the porcelain. This ultra-smooth surface helps prevent waste from sticking and inhibits the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Together, these features mean the toilet literally helps clean itself with every flush and stays looking and smelling fresh with less effort from you.
Is this a high-efficiency, water-saving toilet?
Yes, this is a modern, water-saving toilet that meets the current national efficiency standard. The American Standard Champion® PRO you will receive uses 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF).
To put that in perspective, this is a major improvement over toilets manufactured before the mid-1990s, which often used between 3.5 to 7 gallons with every flush. Upgrading to a 1.6 GPF model provides significant water savings and can help lower your monthly utility bills.
The Champion PRO is expertly engineered to deliver its powerful, industry-leading clog-free flush while still meeting this modern water conservation standard. This ensures you get maximum performance without wasting water.
While the term "High-Efficiency Toilet" (HET) is technically reserved for models that are WaterSense® certified to use 1.28 GPF or less, our 1.6 GPF model provides an excellent, reliable balance of powerful performance and water conservation for your home.
Does the toilet package include a new toilet seat?
Yes, absolutely. Every toilet package we sell is 100% complete and ready for you to use. We include a high-quality, matching American Standard toilet seat specifically chosen for its comfort, durability, and premium features.
The included seat offers several benefits:
- Slow-Close, No-Slam Hinge: The seat and lid close gently and quietly every time, completely eliminating loud slamming.
- Durable & Easy to Clean: It is made from a smooth, long-lasting polypropylene plastic that is simple to wipe clean.
- Comfortable & Stylish Design: The seat features an ergonomic design for comfort and a versatile transitional style that complements almost any bathroom decor.
It's all part of our all-inclusive promise—you'll never have to worry about buying extra parts. We handle everything.
What other installation parts are included in the all-inclusive price?
Our all-inclusive price covers every part and material needed for a standard, professional toilet replacement. We arrive with everything required to get the job done right, so you never have to worry about surprise costs or last-minute trips to the hardware store.
In addition to the brand-new American Standard toilet and soft-close seat, your installation package includes:
- A New Wax Ring: To create a perfect, watertight seal at the base.
- A New Braided Water Line: To ensure a durable, leak-free connection from the toilet to the wall.
- New Mounting Bolts & Caps: To securely fasten the new toilet to the floor.
- Toilet Shims (if needed): To guarantee the toilet is perfectly level and stable on any floor surface, preventing any rocking.
- Silicone Sealant: To apply a clean, professional seal around the base after installation.
We use brand-new, high-quality components for every job to ensure a secure, long-lasting installation. It’s all part of our promise: no hidden fees, just a perfect installation for one upfront price.
How do I know if this toilet will fit in my bathroom?
The most important measurement for fitting a new toilet is the "rough-in" distance. This is the measurement from the finished wall behind the toilet to the center of the floor drain (which is typically covered by one of the bolt caps on the base of your current toilet).
You can easily measure this yourself. The American Standard Champion® PRO we install uses a standard 12-inch rough-in, which is the most common size in North America and will fit the vast majority of modern bathrooms.
To check for clearance with a nearby vanity, door, or wall, here are the overall dimensions for the models we offer:
- Elongated Bowl Models: 30-1/4" deep x 19" wide
- Round Bowl Models: 28-1/4" deep x 17-3/8" wide
- Chair Height: 16.5" from floor to bowl rim
- Standard Height: 15" from floor to bowl rim
As a final confirmation, we always ask for a quick photo of your current toilet after you place your order. This allows our expert to double-check the layout and ensure a smooth, perfect installation.
How long does the actual toilet installation take?
Our process is designed to be as efficient as possible to minimize disruption to your schedule. For a standard replacement, the entire in-home service from start to finish typically takes about one hour.
During that time, our plumbing expert will:
- Carefully remove your old toilet.
- Prepare the area for the new installation.
- Professionally install your new American Standard toilet.
- Thoroughly test for a perfect flush and leak-free connections.
- Clean up the work area completely.
Our goal is to get your bathroom back to normal as quickly as possible, without ever sacrificing the quality and precision of our work. We respect your time and your home.
Water Heater Replacement
What’s the difference between a tank and tankless water heater?
The main difference is how they provide you with hot water. A traditional tank heater keeps a large amount of water hot and ready 24/7. A tankless water heater heats your water instantly, on-demand, only when you need it.
This fundamental difference leads to several key trade-offs:
Hot Water Supply
- Tank Heater: Provides a large reservoir of hot water (our model has an impressive 84-gallon first-hour rating), which is perfect for most families. However, during periods of very heavy, simultaneous use, it is possible to run out and have to wait for the tank to recover.
- Tankless Heater: Delivers a continuous, endless supply of hot water. No matter how many showers are taken back-to-back, you will not run out. This is the #1 reason homeowners choose to upgrade.
Energy Efficiency & Monthly Bills
- Tank Heater: Must constantly use energy to keep the 50 gallons of water in the tank heated, even when you're asleep or away. This results in "standby heat loss."
- Tankless Heater: Only uses significant energy when you are actively using hot water. The ultra-high efficiency model we install can lead to significant long-term savings on your monthly energy bills.
Size & Lifespan
- Tank Heater: Is a large, bulky appliance that requires considerable floor or closet space. These durable, commercial-grade tanks typically last 8-12 years.
- Tankless Heater: Is a compact, wall-mounted unit about the size of a suitcase, which frees up valuable storage space. With proper annual maintenance, they can last 20+ years—nearly twice as long as a tank.
Upfront Cost
- Tank Heater: Has a lower all-inclusive installation cost, making it the more affordable and reliable choice for a direct replacement.
- Tankless Heater: Is a larger upfront investment. This higher cost is offset over time by the monthly energy savings, much longer lifespan, and the premium experience of endless hot water.
Which is right for you?
The traditional tank water heater is an excellent, reliable, and budget-friendly choice. If you're looking for a fantastic upgrade with long-term energy savings and the luxury of endless hot water, the high-efficiency tankless heater is a worthwhile investment in your home.
Is upgrading to a tankless water heater worth the cost?
For many homeowners, especially those planning to stay in their home long-term, the answer is a definite yes. While the upfront cost of a tankless water heater is higher than a traditional tank, it is a smart investment that pays off significantly in convenience, efficiency, and longevity.
Here are the key benefits that make a tankless heater worth the upgrade:
- Endless Hot Water: This is the most popular benefit and a true lifestyle upgrade. You will never run out of hot water again. A tankless heater provides an instant, continuous supply, which is perfect for large families, running multiple appliances at once, or simply enjoying a long shower without it turning cold.
- Significant Energy Savings: A traditional tank constantly uses energy to keep 50 gallons of water hot, 24/7. A tankless unit only heats water on demand. This superior efficiency means no more paying to heat water you aren't using, which can lead to substantial savings on your monthly energy bills.
- Nearly Twice the Lifespan: A properly maintained tankless water heater can last 20 years or more, while a traditional tank typically needs to be replaced every 8-12 years. Over the long run, you could be buying two tank heaters in the lifespan of one tankless unit.
- Space-Saving Design: Tankless units are compact and mount directly on the wall, freeing up an entire closet's worth of valuable storage space that was previously occupied by a bulky tank.
Is it right for you? If you frequently run out of hot water, want to lower your energy bills, plan on staying in your home for years to come, or simply want the peace of mind of a longer-lasting unit, a tankless water heater is a fantastic investment.
How do I know what size water heater my home needs?
That's an excellent question, and it’s a crucial step that our experts have already simplified for you. We have carefully selected the most effective and popular sizes that are ideal for the vast majority of homes in America.
For a Traditional Tank Water Heater:
The most important factor is ensuring you have enough hot water for your family during peak demand (like multiple morning showers). Our standard installation is a 50-gallon tank, which is the industry standard for a household of 3-5 people and has a high First Hour Rating to meet that demand. In the rare case that your space is too small for a 50-gallon unit, we also carry a 40-gallon model to ensure a perfect fit.
For a Tankless Water Heater:
Sizing is about ensuring a strong flow rate to multiple faucets and showers at once. We install a powerful, high-output model that is specifically designed to provide endless hot water for a typical family home, even with several hot water sources running simultaneously.
The Tanks & Toilets Advantage:
Ultimately, you don't have to worry about the complex calculations. When you place your order and send us the photo of your current setup, our experts will verify that you are getting the perfect model and size for your home's specific needs. We take all the guesswork out of the process for you.
What specific water heater models do you install?
As part of our mission to simplify the replacement process, we have done the extensive research to select what we believe are the most reliable and highest-performing models from the industry's most trusted brands.
Tank Water Heater: A.O. Smith
For our traditional tank water heater, we install a professional-grade model from A.O. Smith, one of the largest and most respected manufacturers in North America. We specifically chose their ProLine® series for its commercial-grade components, enhanced durability, and proven track record of reliability.
Tankless Water Heater: Navien
For our tankless upgrade, we use the industry leader, Navien. Navien is the #1 selling brand of high-efficiency condensing tankless water heaters in North America, renowned for their advanced technology, exceptional energy savings, and consistent performance in providing endless hot water.
By partnering exclusively with these top-tier brands, we can confidently guarantee that you are receiving a high-quality, dependable product as part of your all-inclusive installation package.
How long should my new water heater last?
The expected lifespan of your new water heater depends on the model you choose. We have specifically selected units from top brands that are known for their durability and long-term performance.
Here are the typical lifespans you can expect:
Traditional Tank Water Heater: 8 to 12 Years
The commercial-grade A.O. Smith tank water heaters we install are built for durability and typically provide 8 to 12 years of reliable service. Factors like local water quality can affect the lifespan, but these are some of the most dependable tanks on the market.
Tankless Water Heater: 20+ Years
A tankless water heater is a longer-term investment in your home. With proper annual maintenance, the Navien tankless models we install can last for 20 years or more—nearly twice as long as a traditional tank. This longevity is a major reason why many homeowners choose to upgrade.
What is "proper maintenance?" For a tankless unit, this primarily means a simple annual "descaling" service to remove mineral buildup, which is especially important in areas with hard water. This service ensures the unit runs at peak efficiency for decades.
Does a tankless water heater require special maintenance?
Yes, a tankless water heater does require simple annual maintenance, and this is the key that unlocks its incredible 20+ year lifespan and keeps it running at peak efficiency. Think of it as a small tune-up to protect a major investment.
The most important service is called "descaling" or "flushing." This is a straightforward process that removes the natural mineral buildup (or "scale") from inside the unit's heat exchangers. Much like cleaning a coffee maker, this keeps the internal parts clean and allows your heater to continue providing endless hot water efficiently. In the Oklahoma City and Phoenix areas, this is typically done once a year.
How is maintenance handled?
For complete peace of mind and to ensure your warranty is protected, we recommend having this annual service performed by a qualified technician. While some homeowners with DIY experience may choose to do it themselves, having a professional handle the process is the best way to ensure it's done correctly.
This simple preventative care is what allows a tankless water heater to last nearly twice as long as a traditional tank, all while keeping your energy bills low. It's a small step that guarantees decades of worry-free performance.
How long does a typical water heater installation take?
The installation time varies depending on whether you are getting a standard tank replacement or upgrading to a tankless system. Our experts are trained to work as efficiently as possible to get your hot water running again while ensuring the highest quality of work.
Here are the typical timeframes:
Traditional Tank Heater Replacement: 2 to 4 hours
A standard replacement, where we are swapping an old tank for a new one in the same location, is a very streamlined process. This typically takes our experts between 2 to 4 hours to complete from start to finish.
Tankless Heater Upgrade: 4 to 6+ hours
Upgrading from a traditional tank to a new tankless water heater is a more involved process. It often requires modifications to your home's plumbing, gas lines, and venting system to accommodate the new technology. This comprehensive upgrade typically takes between 4 to 6 hours.
Regardless of the model, our installer will work diligently to minimize disruption to your day and will confirm the work is 100% complete before they leave.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or venting?
That depends on the type of installation you choose. Rest assured, our experts handle all technical requirements, and our all-inclusive price covers any necessary upgrades to ensure your installation is safe and fully compliant with current building codes.
For a Tank-for-Tank Replacement:
In most cases, if you are replacing an old tank water heater with a new, similar model, major upgrades to your gas line or venting are not required. Our team will always inspect your existing setup to ensure it is safe and up to code, and the photo you send us in advance helps us bring the correct model for your home's specific vent type (e.g., standard atmospheric or power vent).
For a Tankless Water Heater Upgrade:
Yes, in almost all cases, upgrading from a traditional tank to a tankless model requires modifications. This is for two main reasons:
- Venting: High-efficiency tankless heaters use different sealed venting systems (often PVC pipes) than standard tanks, so we install new, dedicated venting.
- Gas Line: To heat water instantly, a tankless heater requires a higher volume of gas than a tank. This often means a section of your gas line must be upgraded to a larger diameter.
Crucially, all of these required venting and gas line upgrades are included in your single, all-inclusive tankless price. There are no surprise charges for this necessary work. You don't need to be an expert on codes—that's our job. We handle all the details for a worry-free installation.
What is involved in the removal of my old water heater?
Our team handles the entire removal and disposal process from start to finish. It’s a key part of our all-inclusive, hassle-free service, and you don’t have to do a thing.
Removing an old water heater is a complex job, but our experts follow a safe and professional process:
- Safety First: We begin by safely shutting off and disconnecting all utilities connected to the unit, including your water, gas, and/or electrical lines.
- Clean Draining: We carefully drain the old tank of any remaining water in a clean and contained way, preventing spills or messes in your home.
- Careful Removal: Our team uses the proper equipment to safely remove the heavy, bulky unit from your property, navigating any stairs or tight spaces.
- Eco-Friendly Disposal: Finally, we load the old unit onto our truck for responsible disposal or recycling, so you never have to worry about what to do with it.
You don’t need to think about the heavy lifting, potential water spills, or how to get rid of a giant metal tank. We handle every step of the removal before we begin installing your new, high-efficiency unit.

Shortly after, a member of our team will personally reach out by phone or text. We will work with you to find a convenient time within our 24-hour installation window and ask you to send a quick photo of your current unit's setup so our expert can arrive fully prepared.
3. Your Installer is On the Way!
Once your installation time is confirmed (always within 24 hours of your order), you'll receive a call and a text when your expert is en route. You will also get a live tracking link to see their real-time location and exact arrival time.
Why do I need to send a photo of my old unit?
That's an excellent question. The quick photo you send us is one of the most important steps in our process, as it allows us to guarantee a fast, smooth, and successful installation in a single visit.
From that simple picture, our experts can:
- Confirm your current setup (e.g., the vent type for a water heater or the "rough-in" size for a toilet).
- Identify the exact parts and tools required for your specific job.
- Spot any potential installation complexities before we even arrive.
By being fully prepared, we eliminate the potential for delays, like unexpected trips to the plumbing supply store. This preparation is the key to upholding our 24-hour installation promise and respecting your time. It’s a simple step that takes you less than a minute but makes all the difference in providing the hassle-free experience we guarantee.
Can I change or cancel my order after I've placed it?
Yes, absolutely. We understand that plans can change, and we make the process simple.
You can change or cancel your order for a full refund at any time before our installation expert is dispatched to your location.
To make an adjustment, simply contact our support team through your preferred method:
- Live Chat with us on our website for the fastest response.
- Call us at [Your Phone Number].
- Email us at [Your Email Address].
If you are changing your order (for example, switching from a round to an elongated toilet), our team will happily assist you. If you are canceling, we will process your full refund immediately. Our goal is to make every part of your experience easy and hassle-free.
What is your return policy?
We have two separate processes depending on whether or not your unit has been installed, to ensure you get the right support.
For Uninstalled Products:
We offer a 30-day return policy for any toilet or water heater that is still in its original, unopened, and unused factory packaging. To initiate a return for an uninstalled product, please contact us to schedule a pickup. A $99 return pickup fee will be deducted from your refund to cover this service.
For Installed Products:
Once a product has been installed, it is no longer eligible for a return. However, it is fully protected by both our 1-Year Workmanship Guarantee and the multi-year Manufacturer's Warranty.
If you experience any issues with an installed unit, please contact us immediately. A major benefit of our service is that we handle the warranty process for you to diagnose the problem and facilitate a repair or replacement.
What happens if you arrive and can't complete the installation?
This is a rare situation, but we believe in being completely transparent about it. Our all-inclusive service is designed for the direct replacement of an existing toilet or water heater. This means that for a standard installation to be possible, your home must have the necessary, functional infrastructure already in place (e.g., existing water lines, drains, and proper venting or gas/electrical connections).
The photo you send us after placing your order helps us prevent 99% of these issues before we even arrive.
In the rare event that our expert arrives and determines that the installation cannot be completed safely or up to code due to a pre-existing issue—such as a lack of proper plumbing, unsafe gas lines, or severely rotted floors—we will not proceed with the work.
In this scenario, our expert will:
- Clearly explain and show you the exact issue preventing the installation.
- Provide recommendations on the type of specialized work needed to correct the problem.
- We will then cancel your order and process an immediate and full refund.
Our commitment is to your safety and a high-quality installation. If we can't meet that standard, we will not proceed, and you will not be charged.
What do you do with my old toilet or water heater?
Our all-inclusive service means we handle everything from start to finish, and that includes the removal and responsible disposal of your old unit. You don't have to worry about a thing.
Once we have safely disconnected and removed your old toilet or water heater from your home, we load it onto our truck and take it away as part of our service.
From there, we ensure it is handled in an environmentally conscious manner. We take the time to break down the old units, separating materials like metal and brass for recycling. Any non-recyclable components are then disposed of properly according to local regulations.
Our goal is a clean and hassle-free experience for you, which includes leaving you with a brand-new unit and no old appliance to worry about.
What should I expect from your technician on the day of service?
We are committed to providing a professional, respectful, and transparent experience from the moment we head to your home until the job is complete. Here is what you can expect on your scheduled installation day:
1. Proactive Communication
Your plumbing expert will personally call and text you when they are en route to your location. You will also receive a live tracking link, allowing you to see their exact arrival time so you can plan accordingly.
2. Professional Arrival
Our technician will arrive in a clearly marked Tanks & Toilets vehicle and will be wearing a professional company uniform.
3. Respect for Your Home
Upon greeting you at your door, our expert will put on protective shoe coverings before entering your home to ensure we keep your floors clean.
4. Efficient Installation
Our technician will work diligently and efficiently to remove your old unit and professionally install your new one, using high-quality parts and expert techniques.
5. Final Walkthrough & Confirmation
Once the installation is complete, our expert will not leave until they have thoroughly tested the new unit to ensure it is working perfectly and is 100% leak-free. They will then walk you through the finished job, show you the results, and answer any questions you may have before asking you to sign off on a successful installation.
