Why Install a New Toilet? Benefits for Your New Braunfels Home

Upgrading your toilet is more than just replacing an old fixture; it's an investment in your home's comfort, efficiency, and value. Consider the advantages of professional toilet installation:

• Water Efficiency: Modern toilets are designed to use significantly less water per flush than older models, often meeting WaterSense standards. Installing a high-efficiency toilet can lead to noticeable savings on your water bill over time, a key benefit in New Braunfels.
• Improved Performance: Say goodbye to weak flushes and frequent clogs. New toilets feature advanced flushing technologies that provide powerful, reliable performance with less water.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: Toilets come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and sizes to complement any bathroom design. A new toilet can instantly refresh the look of your bathroom.
• Increased Hygiene: Newer toilet designs often have smoother surfaces and rimless bowls that are easier to clean and maintain, promoting better hygiene.
• Reliable Operation: A professionally installed new toilet means you won't have to worry about constant repairs or leaks, providing peace of mind.
• Increased Home Value: Bathroom updates, including new fixture installations, can contribute positively to your home's market appeal and value.

Signs It's Time for a Toilet Replacement

Sometimes, a toilet simply needs a plumbing repair. Other times, replacement is the smarter choice. Watch out for these common indicators that your toilet might be ready for retirement:

• Frequent Clogging: If you find yourself reaching for the plunger almost daily, it could signal an outdated or inefficient toilet design.
• Constant Running: A toilet that constantly runs water is wasting significant amounts of water and could be due to worn-out internal components or simply an old, inefficient flushing system.
• Visible Cracks: Cracks in the porcelain bowl or tank are serious and can lead to leaks. Even small cracks can expand over time.
• High Water Bills: An old, inefficient toilet could be a major culprit behind unexpectedly high water bills.
• Leaks at the Base: Water pooling around the base of the toilet often indicates a faulty wax ring or flange, issues that sometimes make replacement more cost-effective than repair, especially if the toilet is old.
• Mineral Buildup & Stains: Significant mineral deposits or permanent stains that cleaning can't remove can affect performance and aesthetics.
• Age: Like any fixture, toilets wear out over time. If your toilet is several decades old, a newer model will offer better performance and efficiency.

If you're experiencing any of these issues in your New Braunfels home, our technicians can assess your current toilet and provide an honest recommendation on whether toilet repair or replacement is the best course of action.

Our Professional Toilet Installation Process

When you choose Roadrunner Plumbing & Air for your toilet installation in New Braunfels, you can expect a thorough and professional service. Our process is designed to be efficient, clean, and ensure your new toilet functions perfectly:

• Assessment: Our technician will arrive and assess the installation site, ensuring the area is prepared and confirming the new toilet is suitable for the existing plumbing setup.
• Water Shut-Off & Flushing: We begin by safely turning off the water supply to the toilet and flushing the remaining water out of the tank and bowl.
• Disconnecting the Supply Line: The water supply line connecting the tank to the wall valve is carefully disconnected.
• Removing the Old Toilet: We unbolt the old toilet from the floor flange and gently remove it from the bathroom.
• Site Preparation: The old wax ring and any debris are removed from the flange. The floor around the flange is cleaned and inspected for any damage. If necessary, we can address minor floor or flange issues before installation.
• Setting the New Wax Ring: A new, high-quality wax ring or wax-free seal is properly positioned around the drain opening or on the base of the new toilet.
• Setting the New Toilet: The new toilet is carefully lifted and set onto the flange, ensuring the bolts pass through the base holes. The toilet is then pressed down firmly to create a watertight seal with the wax ring.
• Bolting Down: Washers and nuts are placed onto the bolts, and the toilet is securely fastened to the floor flange. Care is taken not to overtighten, which could crack the porcelain.
• Connecting the Water Supply: A new, flexible water supply line is connected between the toilet tank fill valve and the wall shut-off valve.
• Water Turn-On & Testing: The water supply is slowly turned back on, allowing the tank to fill. We then perform multiple test flushes to check for proper operation, ensuring the tank fills correctly, the flush is strong, and there are no leaks around the supply line, tank bolts, or base.
• Sealing the Base: A bead of caulk is often applied around the base of the toilet where it meets the floor. This provides a clean finish, prevents water from seeping under the toilet, and adds stability.
• Cleanup: We clean up the work area, removing all packaging and debris. We can also take care of the disposal of your old toilet, saving you the effort.

Our meticulous process ensures that your new toilet is installed correctly the first time, providing reliable, leak-free performance for years to come.

Understanding Toilet Installation Costs

The cost of toilet installation can vary depending on several factors. These typically include:

• The Toilet Itself: The type, style, and features of the new toilet you choose will be the most significant factor in overall cost.
• Complexity of Installation: Standard installations are straightforward. However, if your existing plumbing needs modification (e.g., moving the drain or supply line) or if the floor flange is damaged and requires repair, this can affect the cost.
• Condition of Existing Plumbing: If the existing shut-off valve is old or corroded, it may need to be replaced during the installation, adding to the overall cost.
• Disposal: The cost of disposing of your old toilet is typically included in the service.

We believe in transparency. Our technicians will assess the scope of work involved and provide you with clear information about the estimated cost before beginning any work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toilet Installation

How long does toilet installation take?

‍A standard toilet installation typically takes between 1 to 3 hours, assuming no unforeseen issues with existing plumbing or the flange.

What should I do to prepare for the plumber's arrival?

‍Clear the area around the toilet, removing any rugs, waste bins, or decorative items. Ensure there is a clear path to the bathroom. If you are supplying the new toilet, have it unboxed and accessible.

Do you dispose of the old toilet?

‍Yes, as part of our service, we will remove and properly dispose of your old toilet for you.

Can you help me choose a new toilet?

‍While we don't sell toilets directly, our technicians can offer guidance on the types of toilets available and factors to consider, such as flush type, water usage (gallons per flush - GPF), height, and rough-in measurements, to help you make an informed decision.

What's the difference between toilet repair and replacement?

‍Toilet repair involves fixing specific issues like a running toilet, a faulty fill valve, or a leaking tank. Toilet replacement is installing a brand new toilet fixture, often done when the existing toilet is old, inefficient, cracked, or experiencing chronic problems.
