Is your old toilet a constant source of frustration? If you’re tired of dealing with recurring clogs, weak flushing, or a unit that runs constantly, it may be time for an upgrade. A new toilet installation is one of the best ways to improve your bathroom’s efficiency, performance, and even its appearance.

Key Benefits of a Professional Toilet Upgrade
Upgrading your toilet isn’t just about fixing a problem; it’s about improving your home. The technology in modern toilets has advanced significantly, and a professional installation ensures you get all the benefits you’re paying for.
Save Water and Money Every Month
If your home was built before the mid-1990s, you likely have an old toilet that uses 3.5 gallons (or more!) of water per flush. A new, high-efficiency toilet (HET) uses 1.28 gallons or less. That’s a massive reduction in water use that will lower your monthly Carol Stream water bill and help conserve a vital resource. The EPA’s WaterSense program highlights toilets that meet these strict efficiency standards.
Superior Flushing Performance
Modern, low-flow toilets are engineered for powerful performance. Forget the weak flushes of early models; today’s toilets use advanced bowl and trapway designs to create a powerful siphon that clears waste effectively and prevents clogs. A new toilet installation can mean the end of your “plunger anxiety.”
A Fresh Look and Modern Comfort
A new toilet can instantly update the look of your bathroom. We can install sleek one-piece models that are easy to clean, or “comfort height” toilets that are a few inches taller, making them much more accessible and comfortable for adults and seniors.
Our Meticulous, Leak-Proof Installation Process
A toilet will only perform as well as it is installed. Our licensed plumbers follow a meticulous, multi-step process that goes far beyond just “placing the new unit.”
Inspection of the Flange and Floor
The most critical part of any installation is the foundation. Before we set the new unit, we will remove your old toilet and carefully inspect the toilet flange (the pipe connection on the floor). If the flange is cracked, broken, or too low, we have the expertise to repair it. Setting a new toilet on a bad flange is a guaranteed failure.
The Perfect, Level Seal
A “rocking” toilet is a leaking toilet. We use a new, high-quality wax ring and take the time to set the toilet perfectly level and secure. This ensures the bolts are tight and the wax seal is compressed evenly, creating a permanent, watertight, and gas-tight seal to the sewer pipe.
Secure Connections and Final Testing
We complete the installation by professionally reassembling the tank, installing a new, durable water supply line, and calibrating the water level inside the tank. We test the flush multiple times and thoroughly inspect every connection point—from the tank bolts to the supply line—to ensure your new toilet is 100% leak-free and ready for service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Installation
What is a “comfort height” toilet?
A comfort height toilet (also called “right height” or “ADA height”) has a bowl that is 17 to 19 inches from the floor, compared to the standard 15 inches. This taller height is similar to a standard chair, making it much easier and more comfortable to sit down on and stand up from, especially for taller adults, seniors, or those with mobility issues.
My old toilet rocks a little bit. Is that a big deal?
Yes, that is a very big deal. A rocking toilet means the bolts at the base are loose or the flange underneath is broken. This movement has almost certainly broken the wax seal, which can allow sewer gas to escape and water to seep out, silently rotting your subfloor. This is a critical issue that we will inspect and correct during your new installation.
When should I repair my toilet versus replacing it?
We can help you make this call. If your toilet is relatively new and just has a simple part failure (like a flapper), a repair is fast and cost-effective. However, if your toilet is more than 15-20 years old, clogs constantly, requires frequent repairs, has a crack in the porcelain, or is an inefficient 3.5-gallon model, a new toilet installation is almost always the smarter long-term investment.
