Since your home is your castle, it is only fitting that the throne in your bathroom be installed correctly so that it functions as expected each and every time. Unfortunately, if you choose the wrong plumber for this job or try to make this a DIY project without first having the proper knowledge and skills, the consequences can be disastrous for you and your bathroom. Rather than take a chance on an improper installation and potential water damage that could impact many areas of your home, it’s smart to get toilet installation services from professionals you know and trust. When you’re ready for a toilet installation in Los Angeles, put your trust in our team here at Boss Plumbing.
Should Only a Professional Plumber Install a Toilet?
If you have never installed a toilet and have limited plumbing knowledge, we here at Boss Plumbing feel it is always best to trust this job to a professional plumber.
While you may think a bathroom plumbing installation such as a toilet will be easy, it can often be anything but that for someone who is inexperienced with this type of plumbing job.
Many times on these jobs, we encounter such problems as broken pipes and leaks, mold, and especially subflooring that is damaged or rotting. Should you try to handle these plumbing repair jobs on your own, you’re likely to make a bad situation worse. Instead of needing more toilet repair services than may have been necessary if you had chosen to call a professional plumber first, let one of our experienced and licensed plumbers tackle this complex job.
Signs You Need a New Toilet
While you may be torn between a toilet repair or replacement for your home, we can tell you there are plenty of signs you’ll notice along the way that will indicate you need a new toilet.
Constant clogging is one of the most common toilet problems and a clear sign you need a new toilet. If your toilet is clogging at least once each week, its best days are behind it and it’s time for a replacement.
Needing one repair after another also points to the need for a new toilet. If you’ve found yourself having problems with clogged sewer lines and needing our services for hydro jetting and sewer camera inspection much too often, it will be cheaper for you to replace your old toilet than it will be to constantly get your current one repaired.
Other signs you need a new toilet include cracks in the bowl or tank, since these will result in leaks that damage flooring over time. Should your toilet be at least 20 years old, it is likely very inefficient in terms of its flushing capability. This may lead to it overflowing during flushing and creating a foul-smelling mess in your bathroom. Should this be happening even when you know what can and can’t be flushed down your toilet, chances are you need to have your aging toilet replaced.
