Toilet Installation and Repair in Torrance, CA

On average, a professional toilet installation takes between one and three hours. This includes removing the old unit, inspecting the flange for damage, installing a new wax ring, and testing the new toilet for leaks and proper flushing. If your plumbing requires a new flange or floor repairs, the process may take slightly longer.

The "rough-in" is the distance from the wall behind the toilet to the center of the floor drain (the bolts). Most modern homes in Torrance use a standard 12-inch rough-in, but older homes may require a 10-inch or 14-inch model. Our plumbers accurately measure this space before installation to ensure your new toilet fits perfectly without hitting the wall or leaving an unsightly gap.

A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve, a leaky fill valve, or an improperly adjusted float. While it may seem like a minor nuisance, a running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per day, significantly increasing your utility bills. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the cause and replace the internal components to stop the waste.

The flange is the pipe fitting that connects the toilet to the sewage system and secures it to the floor. If you notice water leaking from the base, a persistent sewer gas smell, or if the toilet rocks even after the bolts are tightened, the flange may be cracked or rusted. We provide expert flange repair and replacement to ensure a safe, sanitary seal.

If the repair is simple—like replacing a handle or a flapper—repairing is often the way to go. However, if the porcelain is cracked, the toilet is frequently clogging, or you are facing a major repair on a model that is 15+ years old, we generally recommend a replacement. A new unit will be more reliable, more efficient, and less likely to cause emergency leaks.
