Whether you need to replace an old toilet, working on a remodel, or are building a new addition to your home, we have the knowledge and equipment necessary to complete your installation. We can provide measurements, help with selecting a compatible water line, make sure the tank and bowl are properly installed, and more.

Do I have to buy the toilet before the installation?

No, you do not need to buy the toilet before you call us. You are more than welcome to purchase the toilet on your own, or one of our technicians can help you select a good quality model. We can provide assistance in finding one that meets all your needs and is the best fit for your space.

What do I need from the technician?

Generally, the technician will need access to the existing toilet (if one is being replaced), the water and sewage emplacements, and an electrical outlet (for a power-assisted toilet). You must also provide clearance of at least 2 feet on either side and an extra foot behind the toilet. If you are working on a remodel, the technician may need other specific measurements and clearance space for different components.

How long does a toilet installation typically take?

Once your technician arrives, they can typically have the installation completed within two hours. This can vary depending on the job and any additional services requested.

Can I install my own toilet?

You can, but unless you are an experienced professional, any plumbing issues can quickly lead to expensive repairs. It is best to have a professional technician handle the installation process, as not only do they have access to the proper tools and equipment, they also have the needed experience to properly measure, connect each component, and make sure all connections are leak-free.
