Toilet Repair Services in Nampa, ID

Our plumbers are fully trained and licensed. They can diagnose and repair any toilet problem, no matter the symptoms. The issue can be inconvenient and require a messy cleanup. It can also increase utility costs. Therefore, call Express Plumbing to address these signs you require toilet repair:
Running Toilet
A running toilet means water is constantly flowing into the tank, which can waste water and increase your water bill. The problem can be caused by a faulty or worn-out fill valve, especially if the tank isn’t emptying, or flapper if the water level inside the tank keeps dropping.
Leaking Toilet
When a toilet leaks, water can quickly damage the floor and subfloor. A leak can be due to a supply line, fill valve or tank problem. Cracks in the tank or a loose connection at the toilet base can also cause water to leak. The issue can also be with bolts, anchor flanges, or the wax ring.
Slow Flushing
If a toilet is clogged, it may flush slowly and overflow. Turn off the water supply valve to prevent this. Aside from a clog, the problem may be caused by a damaged flapper, flush handle, or lift chain. Sometimes a minor adjustment can fix the problem; if not, it’s time to call a toilet plumbing service in Nampa, ID.
Slow-Filling Toilet
If the toilet is filling slowly, the water supply valve may not be fully open or the fill valve assembly may be clogged. Call a plumber if you don’t know how to open the supply valve or clear out the fill valve.
Noisy Toilet
The sound of constant running water or flushing can indicate a problem with the water supply valve, flapper, flush valve, or refill tube. Call for help if the toilet won’t stop making noise or flushes at random.
Incorrect Water Level
Too high a water level in the bowl can mean water is constantly running, while too low a water level can cause a clog. The issue can be addressed by unclogging the toilet or adjusting or replacing the float. If you can’t resolve the issue, call a plumber to inspect the unit.

Professional Diagnosis and Troubleshooting

Toilets contain several components, including a tank with a variety of moving parts. If you’re not familiar with them, it can be hard to troubleshoot what is going on. Assessing the issue may even require shutting off the toilet’s water supply line. While many people can DIY a minor toilet repair, an experienced plumber can diagnose problems accurately and quickly. This avoids guesswork and missing any issues that may persist without a professional repair.
Repairing a toilet sometimes involves techniques and tools that require training. Some tools are costly to buy if you don’t use them regularly. Toilet repair technicians often use slip-joint pliers, open-ended wrenches, needlenose pliers, and other tools. Depending on the repair, the right-sized bolts and screws may be needed. Therefore, it’s best to hire a professional who has the right tools and materials for the job.

Toilet Installation Services in Nampa, ID

Professional installation is important for many reasons. It can ensure your new toilet won’t leak or have any flushing issues. Proper installation also avoids flooding and other plumbing emergencies. A plumber can help choose a toilet, move heavy equipment into place, and anticipate anything that may go wrong (in which case they can quickly problem-solve a situation).
In addition, professionals adhere to local plumbing codes and regulations, ensuring the toilet is safe to use. Toilets are also not one-size-fits-all. There are different types depending on your bathroom layout and preferences. A plumber can help you choose from one- or two-piece toilets, back-to-wall toilets, wall-hung toilets, pressure-assisted toilets, dual-flush toilets, and other options.
Some modern toilets are more water-efficient and eco-friendly, so a plumber who provides toilet plumbing services in Nampa can also help choose from these options.

Toilet Installation Process

A professional plumber can replace a toilet in under an hour. The process requires just a few steps and detailed checks to ensure a high-quality installation.
Remove the Old Unit
The water supply valve is turned off and the supply line is removed from the toilet. Any remaining water is drained from the tank. Then, the floor bolts are removed, and the toilet is lifted and taken away.
Clean the Floor Flange
The floor flange is blocked to prevent odors and gas from escaping and tools from falling into the drain. The plumber then removes old floor bolts and scrapes the old wax ring with a putty knife. Next, they make sure the flange is level.
Install New Floor Bolts
The bolts included with the new toilet are inserted into the flange ring’s slots, with the threaded ends facing up. Nuts are added to each bolt and hand-tightened.
Install the Wax Ring

The plastic is removed and the wax ring is pressed around the cone-shaped outlet at the toilet’s base. 

Place the Toilet on the Flange
The flange is unblocked and the toilet is placed directly above it. The floor bolts should protrude through the holes at the unit’s base.
Secure the Toilet
The toilet is pressed down to flatten the wax ring. Plastic disks, wing nuts, and plastic caps are placed over the floor bolts.
Add the Tank
The plumber then rests the tank onto the bowl, ensuring it faces the right way and seats properly. It is secured with plastic bolts, which are fastened with plastic washers and wing nuts.
Connect the Water Supply
The water supply line is connected and the plastic nut is hand-tightened to secure the connection to the toilet.
Attach the Toilet Seat
The seat is fit atop the bowl and secured with plastic bolts that fit through the seat hinges and holes in the toilet bowl. Plastic nuts are tightened by hand.
Post-Installation Check
This ensures the toilet is installed properly and flushes normally without any filling issues or leaks.
