How long do toilets last?

While some toilets last 50+ years, the average lifespan of most toilets is 10 to 20 years. Some parts, such as the chain, flapper, and wax seal may need replacing before that 10-year mark. Consider replacing an older toilet even if it’s still functioning, as today’s models are much more efficient and cost less to run.

How long after installation can a toilet be used?

You can technically use a toilet right after installation. However, most professionals recommend waiting 48 to 72 hours for the sealants to dry completely. Some caulking dries in just a few hours, while other types take 24+ hours to cure and dry, so it’s best to confirm the correct wait time with your installer.

How do I choose a toilet installation company near me?

With the many plumbers and plumbing service companies available, follow these guidelines to help you find the best toilet installation service near you:

Compare 3 to 5 toilet installation estimates with similar details.
Choose a licensed, insured, and bonded plumbing service with high ratings on HomeGuide and Google.
Avoid going with the cheapest installation estimate as this may signal low-quality work.
Ask for a detailed contract and warranty in writing before the installation begins.
Don't pay in full until the job is complete.

What questions should I ask when getting estimates for toilet installation?

Asking the right questions will help you choose the best plumber for your new toilet installation:

How long have you been in business?
Is your company licensed, insured, and bonded?
What experience do you have installing this type of toilet?
How quickly can you install the toilet?
Can you provide references with contact information?
Does the estimate include removing the old toilet and disposing of it?
Is your quote based on an hourly rate or is it a flat fee for this service?
What other costs might come up during the installation?
How long should we wait to use the toilet after installation?
Do you offer a warranty, and what does it cover?
Do you submit the manufacturer’s warranty registration?

I just wanted you to know of the great work that Andrew did! We were very grateful that it didn’t involve nothing more than repositioning the toilet on a new wax gasket and 2 new bolts. Thank you for being there for us! I told Andrew that we may have a couple of other jobs in the near future so I’ll be sure to call when we’re ready for an estimate and subsequent repairs. I appreciate you guys! Eric M.

We have had Mitch and a few of his employees out several times over the past few years for various plumbing issues with our older house. He is always quick to respond and very honest. We tried several plumbers before hearing of Mitch who recommended services we didn't require and charged much higher prices than Mitch for the work we did need. We have recommended his company to our friends, who have also used his services and been really happy. We are thankful to know an honest plumber who does a great job!
