If you are wanting to remove an older toilet and replace it with a newer model, it's good to know your options before you make the decision. Here are some tips and ideas that may help you make the best choice for your home.
There are a variety of reasons that homeowners will decide to replace a toilet. Although replacing a damaged toilet or a much older toilet may seem to be the only reason, here are some other reasons why people may chose to replace a toilet:
- Toilet too small
- Toilet leaks
- Broken toilet
- Stains cant be removed
- Toilet uses too much water
- Toilet keeps needing to be fixed
- Wrong color toilet
- Special Needs Toilet
- Toilet too low
- Broken Toilet Tank
- Remodeling Bathroom
- Uses too much water
- Don't like the way the toilet flushes
These are the primary reasons, but there are probably many more. Whatever the reason to replace your toilet, knowing the toilet you want to replace it with is a good idea ahead of time. Some special toilets may need to be ordered and could take time to be delivered.
DIY or Hire a Plumber?
While some homeowners are very handy and enjoy a good challenge, it really depends on the situation. Over the years we have had to reinstall toilets that were not properly installed. Lose toilets, not properly installed, wax rings not set correctly, toilet parts not tightened or incorrectly installed are just a few examples. In some cases, inexperience really can really cause problems when a supply line leaks or breaks causing major water damage. Sure, we would always recommend hiring us to do a proper toilet installation, but also keep us in mind before you buy the toilet. We may be able to recommend a particular brand that is known for better quality and fewer problems.
