Toilet Repair/Installation

One of the best ways to determine whether replacement is preferred is by assessing the toilet repair cost.

For example, toilet flapper replacement is often a simple and cheap fix and isn’t worth investing in an entirely new unit. On the other hand, leaky toilet repair and toilet flange repair can sometimes be expensive, especially if the issues are the result of larger issues. Causes such as a cracked toilet bowl or piping problems can sometimes require costly maintenance, which may ultimately make replacement worthwhile.

C&C Plumbing can assess your particular unit’s issues and calculate the cost of both repair and replacement to help you decide.

Besides looking at pricing, how else can you determine when it’s time for one unit to retire and another to take its place? By recognizing the replacement signs.

Keep an eye out for the following:

Constant Issues: Do you find yourself always needing to double flush? Does your toilet clog more often than you’d like? If yes, it might be at the end of its life.
Regular Plumber Visits: If plumbers are consistently replacing the same components, it may be a sign that the entire unit should be replaced.
Unresolvable Issues: Cracked bowls or tanks and consistent leaks often speak to deep-rooted issues; unit replacement may be ideal.
Age: Toilets more than 25 years old have had a good life, but lack the features of modern models. Replacing an older unit can lead to substantial savings.

If you need an expert opinion, C&C Plumbing can inspect your toilet and help you make an informed decision regarding toilet repair and installation. If you move forward with replacing the unit, our team can help with removal and installation.

Keep in mind that replacing your toilet doesn’t just help resolve underlying problems – it also allows you to upgrade your home’s efficiency. Newer units use less water per flush and are designed for better performance, saving you money and reducing your environmental footprint. Our technicians will work alongside you to choose a model for your space that meets your household’s needs.

Don’t neglect your toilet. Besides regularly cleaning it, a little maintenance can go a long way toward ensuring it continues operating in tip-top shape. Regular checks and simple upkeep can help deter both costly repairs and premature replacements.

Here are a few simple things we recommend doing:

Regularly Inspect Components: At least once a year, check your flapper, fill valve, and handle to ensure proper function.
Use Chemical Drain Cleaners Sparingly: These might appear effective, but over time, they can damage internal components and seals.
Address Leaks Early: Even a slow leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water over the course of a month. Besides being bad for the environment, this can also drastically impact your monthly water bill.
Be Gentle When Tightening Bolts: If you ever find yourself tightening your toilet’s bolts, be gentle. Over-tightening can cause cracks in porcelain and damage seals.
Schedule Annual Plumbing Inspections: Preventive maintenance is the key to identifying small issues before they develop into full-blown, costly nightmares.
