Toilet Installation in Wilmington, NC

Professional installation ensures proper sealing to prevent leaks and water damage to your floors and subflooring—a common concern in our humid coastal climate. It also guarantees the toilet functions correctly, avoiding issues like weak flushing or constant running, and ensures compliance with local plumbing codes.

Common challenges can include dealing with old or corroded plumbing fittings, ensuring the new toilet fits the existing space and flange, and properly leveling the toilet for stability. Our experienced plumbers are equipped to handle these and other potential complications efficiently.

In most cases, a standard toilet installation in Wilmington, NC, takes between one to four hours. However, this timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the job, such as modifications to existing plumbing or the installation of a more intricate toilet model.

To measure for a replacement toilet, you'll typically need to measure the "rough-in," which is the distance from the finished wall behind the toilet to the center of the drainpipe outlet on the floor. Standard rough-in sizes are 10, 12, and 14 inches. Knowing this measurement helps ensure the new toilet will fit your existing plumbing.

With proper maintenance, a toilet can last for many years, often 25 years or more. However, you might consider a replacement if your toilet is constantly clogged, has cracks in the porcelain, is inefficient (high water usage), or if you're remodeling your bathroom and desire a different style or features.
