A new toilet installation is one of the fastest ways to update a bathroom’s functionality, improve its appearance, and dramatically increase your home’s water efficiency. Whether you are in the middle of a full bathroom renovation, replacing an old and inefficient model, or finally getting rid of a unit that requires constant repairs, a properly installed toilet is critical. An improper installation can lead to slow, hidden leaks that cause unseen water damage to your floor and subfloor, costing you thousands in future repairs.
At A-Keveloh Plumbing Inc., we are experts in precision toilet installation in Wheaton, IL. We go beyond just setting a new fixture; we ensure every component, from the flange to the supply line, is perfect for a leak-free, stable, and long-lasting result. As a family-owned company serving the Wheaton area for over 40 years, we stake our reputation on quality workmanship. For a professional installation you can trust, call our team at 630-963-0433.
Why Professional Toilet Installation is Essential
It can be tempting to view a toilet installation as a simple weekend DIY project. However, this task is one of the most common places where small mistakes lead to major problems. The connection between the toilet and the sewer pipe is sealed by a wax ring—and setting this ring perfectly is a one-shot deal. If the toilet is not set level and with uniform pressure, the seal can be compromised, leading to sewer gas odors or, worse, a “silent leak” that slowly seeps water into your subfloor every time you flush.
The A-Keveloh Installation Process
Our licensed plumbers follow a meticulous process to guarantee a perfect installation every time:
- Proper Removal: We completely drain and carefully remove your old, heavy toilet and handle its proper disposal.
- Flange and Floor Inspection: We inspect the toilet flange (the part that connects to the floor and sewer pipe) for any cracks or damage. We ensure it is level and secure before proceeding.
*Flawless Seal: We set a new, high-quality wax ring and carefully lower the new toilet, ensuring a perfect, watertight seal. We expertly tighten the bolts to secure the toilet without cracking the porcelain.
- Tank and Supply Line: We properly assemble the tank components and use a new, durable water supply line. We also inspect your shut-off valve to ensure it’s in good working order.
- Leveling and Testing: We ensure the toilet is perfectly level and stable (no rocking!). Finally, we connect the water, test the flush multiple times, and perform a thorough inspection for any leaks in the tank or at the base.
Upgrading Your Toilet: Options and Benefits
A new toilet installation is your opportunity to improve your bathroom significantly. Our team can help you select and install the perfect model for your needs, whether you’ve purchased one yourself or need our guidance on the best brands.
High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs)
If your current toilet was installed before the 1990s, it could be using 3.5 gallons of water (or more) per flush. Modern high-efficiency toilets (HETs) use 1.28 gallons or less. This simple upgrade can save a typical family thousands of gallons of water per year, reducing your water bill and helping the environment. This is a smart, cost-effective upgrade for any Wheaton home.
Comfort Height Toilets
Also known as “right height” or “ADA-compliant,” these toilets are slightly taller (17-19 inches high) than standard 15-inch models. This makes them much more comfortable and accessible for taller individuals, seniors, and anyone with mobility challenges. Many homeowners are choosing these for their master bathrooms, as detailed in resources like the official ADA standards.
Modern Features
We can also install toilets with advanced features, such as dual-flush mechanisms (for liquid or solid waste), integrated bidet seats, or sleek one-piece designs that are easier to clean. We can handle all the plumbing connections required for any model you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Installation
Can I buy my own toilet, or do I have to buy one from you?
You can do either! Many of our customers purchase a toilet from a home improvement store and call us for professional installation. We are also happy to consult with you, recommend high-quality, reliable brands that we trust, and supply the new toilet for you as part of our service.
How long does a toilet installation typically take?
For a standard toilet replacement where there are no unexpected issues (like a broken flange or rotted subfloor), our professional plumbers can typically complete the entire job, including removal of the old unit, in about 1 to 2 hours.
What if you find my floor or flange is damaged when you remove the old toilet?
This is precisely why professional installation is so important. If we remove the old toilet and find that the flange is cracked or the subfloor has water damage, our experienced plumbers can assess the situation immediately. We can explain the problem to you and, in most cases, perform the necessary flange repair or advise on the next steps for floor repair before the new toilet can be safely installed.
