When to Repair vs. Replace Your Toilet

It can be tough to decide whether a simple repair will solve your toilet troubles or if it’s time for a full replacement. While some issues have easy fixes, others are warning signs that your fixture is nearing the end of its life. Understanding the difference can save you from future headaches and emergency calls.

Consider a repair for issues like:

• A Constantly Running Toilet: This is often caused by a faulty flapper or fill valve, which are inexpensive parts that can be replaced easily.
• A Minor, Visible Leak: If you can see water dripping from the supply line or the tank bolts, these connections can usually be tightened or their seals replaced.
• A Weak Flush: This can sometimes be resolved by adjusting the water level in the tank or clearing a minor clog in the trap.

It is likely time for a replacement when you notice:

• Frequent Clogging: If your toilet clogs regularly, it may be an older, low-flow model that lacks the power of modern designs.
• Visible Cracks: A crack in the porcelain of the tank or bowl cannot be safely repaired and will eventually lead to a major leak.
• High Water Bills: Older toilets can use 3.5 gallons per flush or more. Upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency model can significantly reduce your water consumption and lower your utility bills.
• Wobbling: If the toilet moves or rocks, it could indicate a problem with the wax seal or the flange underneath, which often warrants a full removal and re-installation.

Investing in a new toilet not only solves persistent problems but can also improve your home’s value and water efficiency for years to come.

Our Professional Toilet Installation Service

At Snell Services, we take pride in delivering a clean, efficient, and flawless toilet installation service. Our licensed plumbers treat your home with respect and follow a meticulous process to ensure your new toilet is perfectly secure and functions correctly from the very first flush. We handle every step so you can have complete confidence in the result.

Here is what you can expect from our installation process:

• Careful Removal of the Old Unit: We begin by shutting off the water supply and carefully disconnecting and removing your old toilet to prevent any spills or damage to your flooring.
• Thorough Flange Inspection: The toilet flange is the critical connection point between the toilet and the drainpipe. We inspect it for any cracks or damage and make any necessary repairs to ensure a stable and leak-proof foundation.
• Perfect Wax Seal Application: We use a high-quality wax ring to create a perfect, watertight seal. This is the most critical step in preventing sewer gas leaks and water damage to your subfloor.
• Secure Mounting & Connection: Our plumbers expertly place and secure the new toilet, ensuring it is perfectly level and does not wobble. We then professionally reconnect the water supply line and test for any leaks.
• Final Testing & Cleanup: Before we consider the job complete, we test the flushing mechanism multiple times to confirm everything is working optimally. We leave our workspace cleaner than we found it, with your old toilet properly disposed of.

Since 1941, Snell Services has provided workmanship our customers can rely on. Trust our team to get the job done right.

The Risks of a DIY Toilet Installation

While installing a toilet might seem like a straightforward DIY project, it carries significant risks that can lead to costly water damage. The most critical part of the installation is setting the wax seal correctly. If this seal is not perfect, it can cause slow, hidden leaks that rot your subfloor over time.

An improperly secured toilet can also lead to major problems. If the bolts are overtightened, you can easily crack the porcelain base, ruining the new fixture. If they are too loose, the toilet will rock and eventually break the wax seal, leading to the same destructive leaks.

Finally, diagnosing and repairing a damaged toilet flange—the part that connects the toilet to the drainpipe—requires professional expertise. Attempting to install a new toilet on a broken flange is a guarantee of future leaks. A licensed plumber has the tools and experience to do the job safely and correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical toilet installation take?

In most cases, a standard replacement or installation is completed within two to three hours, depending on the project scope and current plumbing conditions.

Do I need a permit for a new toilet installation in Nebraska?

For most direct replacements in residential settings, permits are not required. In cases involving major renovations or commercial buildings, city permits and inspections may be necessary, and we handle those details for you.

Can I supply my own toilet for installation?

Yes, you’re welcome to provide your own fixture. We’ll confirm compatibility and ensure it meets quality and code requirements before beginning installation.

What are the signs my toilet needs replacing rather than repair?

If you experience frequent clogs, constant running, cracks in the porcelain, or repeated leaks, replacement is often the safer and more cost-effective choice.

We remove and responsibly dispose of your old unit according to Nebraska environmental guidelines, so you don’t have to worry about cleanup or landfill issues.
