FAQ's
How do I know if I need a new toilet vs. a repair?
If the bowl is cracked, the flange is severely damaged, or repairs exceed ~50% of replacement cost, replacement is usually smarter. Rebuilds solve run/flush issues when the porcelain is sound.
What size rough‑in do I have?
Most homes are 12‑inch rough‑in (wall to closet bolts). We verify during the visit.
My toilet rocks/wobbles—can you fix that?
Yes. We level the flange or use approved repair rings/shims, then reset with a new wax ring.
Are low‑flow toilets weak?
Modern 1.28 gpf models flush great and save water. We’ll recommend proven units.
Do you haul away the old toilet?
Yes—available on installs and replacements.
