How do I know if my toilet needs repair or replacement?

If your toilet is experiencing minor issues like a running toilet, weak flush, or occasional clogs, repair is usually the best option. However, if your toilet is old, constantly malfunctioning despite repairs, has visible cracks in the bowl, or leaks persistently around the base, replacement is typically more cost-effective. A professional can assess your specific situation and recommend the best solution.

Why is my toilet leaking around the base?

Leaks around the toilet base usually indicate a failing wax seal or worn gasket between the toilet and the drain flange. This allows water to seep onto your floor, potentially causing water damage and mold growth. The toilet must be removed and the seal replaced or the flange repaired to stop the leak.

Can a running toilet increase my water bill?

Yes, significantly. A running toilet that continuously refills the tank can waste thousands of gallons of water each month, driving up your utility bills. Most running toilets are caused by a faulty fill valve or flapper and can be repaired quickly and inexpensively, making prompt repair worthwhile.

How much water does a new toilet save compared to an older one?

Modern toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, while older toilets often use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush. This dramatic difference means new toilets save thousands of gallons annually, significantly lowering your water bills while helping conserve water resources.

How long does a toilet installation take?

A typical toilet installation takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether the old toilet needs removal and the existing plumbing connections are in good condition. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home while ensuring all connections are properly sealed and tested for leaks.
