Whether you are upgrading an old toilet or replacing a broken one, professional installation ensures a leak-free fit and proper function from day one.
Toilet replacement is one of the most common plumbing jobs in Boise homes, and it is also one of the most frequently botched DIY projects. A toilet that is not properly seated on the wax ring will leak at the base, causing water damage to your subfloor that can cost thousands to repair.
When 1Up Plumbing installs a toilet, we start by inspecting the flange — the fitting that connects the toilet to the drain pipe in the floor. A cracked or corroded flange is a common cause of toilet leaks and odors, and it needs to be repaired before a new toilet goes in. We also check the floor for any soft spots that could indicate existing water damage.
We install a fresh wax ring, set the toilet level, and torque the bolts evenly to avoid cracking the porcelain base. The supply line is connected with a new braided stainless hose, and we test the fill valve, flapper, and flush mechanism before we leave.
If you are choosing a new toilet, we can help you select the right rough-in size (the distance from the wall to the center of the drain) and recommend models that balance water efficiency with reliable flushing performance. Most Boise homes have a 12-inch rough-in, but older homes sometimes have 10 or 14-inch configurations.
