What to Expect When You Book
When you schedule toilet plumbing services in Lubbock, the plumber arrives with the tools needed to handle repairs or replacements on the spot. That includes adjustable wrenches, basin wrenches for tight supply line connections, wax rings, bolts, and a selection of fill and flush valve assemblies that fit most standard toilets. The plumber shuts off the water supply, drains the tank, and removes the toilet if the problem involves the wax seal or flange.
After the repair or installation is complete, you'll notice that the toilet fills quietly, stops running between flushes, and clears the bowl completely with a single flush. mr.wilsons plumbing and drain solutions tests every repair before leaving to confirm there are no leaks at the base, supply line, or tank bolts. A properly sealed toilet sits level and stable, with no rocking or movement when you sit down.
Some jobs require replacing the toilet flange if it's cracked or corroded, especially in older homes where cast iron drain lines have deteriorated. If the flooring around the toilet feels soft or shows water damage, that's addressed separately, but the plumber will let you know what's needed to prevent future leaks. Toilet plumbing services do not include tile work or subfloor replacement, but they do ensure that all connections between the toilet and the drain system are watertight and code-compliant.
Key Benefits of This Service
Homeowners in Lubbock often have questions about what's causing their toilet issues and whether a repair or replacement makes more sense, so here are answers to the most common concerns that come up during service calls.
What causes a toilet to keep running after you flush it?
The flapper valve inside the tank is likely worn out and not sealing properly, allowing water to leak from the tank into the bowl. Replacing the flapper stops the running water and restores normal operation.
How long does it take to replace a toilet?
Most toilet replacements take between one and two hours, depending on whether the flange needs repair and how accessible the supply line and bolts are. The plumber removes the old unit, installs a new wax ring, sets the new toilet, and tests for leaks before finishing.
Why does my toilet rock back and forth when I sit on it?
The floor may be uneven, the toilet flange may be broken, or the closet bolts may have loosened over time. Resetting the toilet with new bolts and a fresh wax seal usually solves the problem.
What should I do if my toilet clogs frequently?
Frequent clogs can mean there's a partial blockage in the drain line, a problem with the toilet's internal trap, or an issue with venting. A plumber can snake the drain and inspect the toilet to determine whether repair or replacement is the better option.
Toilet issues don't fix themselves, and ignoring a leak or a running tank wastes water and money every day. If you're ready to get your toilet working the way it should, contact us to schedule service in Lubbock.
