Toilet Installation & Repair

A running toilet, a slow leak at the base, or constant clogging usually means a worn part or a failing wax seal rather than a problem with the whole unit. A standard toilet installation, removing the old fixture and setting a new one on a fresh wax ring, typically takes our team 1 to 2 hours from start to finish.

Toilet Repair & Replacement Services

Toilets are one of the most-used fixtures in any home, and small problems tend to get worse the longer they sit. We see everything from a toilet that runs constantly and quietly drives up the water bill, to a crack in the tank or bowl that can’t be repaired, to an old, water-heavy model that’s simply due for an upgrade. For more on how toilet repairs fit into our broader lineup, see our full plumbing services page.

Common Toilet Issues

A toilet that runs after every flush is almost always a worn flapper or fill valve, an inexpensive part that’s easy to replace once we’re inside the tank. Left unaddressed, a running toilet can waste a significant amount of water every day (Source: EPA WaterSense, 2023). A toilet that rocks slightly or leaks water at the base often means the wax ring underneath has failed, which lets water seep out onto the floor with every flush.
Frequent clogging can point to an older, low-flow model that was never quite designed right, a partial blockage further down the drain line, or a bowl that’s simply reached the end of its useful life. Cracks in the tank or bowl, whether from age or a hard impact, usually mean replacement rather than repair, since a cracked porcelain tank isn’t something that can be safely patched.
How we install

Installation Process

Shut Off & Remove

A toilet installation starts with shutting off the water supply and removing the old unit, along with the old wax ring and any corroded bolts.

Check the Flange

We check the flange underneath for damage, since a cracked or uneven flange needs to be addressed before a new toilet goes in, or the same leak problem will just come back.

Set & Leak-Test

we set the new toilet on a fresh wax ring, secure it to the flange, reconnect the water supply, and test for leaks at every connection before we consider the job done.
whole process typically takes 1 to 2 hours for a standard installation, and we walk through the new toilet’s features with the homeowner before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard toilet installation typically takes our team 1 to 2 hours, including removing the old unit, checking the flange, and setting the new toilet on a fresh wax ring. More complex installations, like moving a toilet’s position, can take longer.
In most cases, yes. A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper or fill valve inside the tank, both of which are straightforward parts to replace. We diagnose the exact part during the visit.
Yes, we install a range of models, including water-efficient units that use less water per flush than older toilets while still performing well. We can talk through the options that fit your bathroom.
A leak at the base is most often caused by a failed wax ring, the seal between the toilet and the drain flange underneath it. Over time that seal breaks down, especially if the toilet has ever rocked or been loose, and water seeps out with every flush until it’s replaced.
Generally no. A cracked tank or bowl is a safety and leak risk that isn’t safe to patch, so we recommend replacement rather than a temporary repair. The good news is a full toilet replacement is a same-day job in most cases.
Yes, removal and disposal of the old fixture is part of a standard installation visit.
