The Step By Step Guide To Replacing a Toilet

Tulsa Plumber Tulsa Toilet Replacement

When it comes to do-it-yourself home improvement, few projects strike fear in the hearts of homeowners quite like toilets. It just seems like so many things could go terribly, horribly wrong, doesn’t it? No one likes the thought of making a mistake that involves sewage.

Fortunately, replacing a toilet is a much less complex task than most homeowners realize. If you have the right materials and a tiny bit of know-how, the chances of a major disaster are slim.

If you have a small bathroom, it’s wise to measure from the side of the tank to the wall and from the front of the toilet to the door. Some elongated bowls won’t fit in small bathrooms—or they’ll fit, but you won’t be able to close the door!

Step 2: Remove the Old Toilet

If Your Floor Flange is Damaged

Once you’ve removed your old toilet bowl, you may discover that the floor flange—the piece to which the bowl mounts—is damaged. If that’s the case, we’d be happy to help you replace it.

Step 3: Install the New Toilet

New toilets come with installation directions, and it’s a good idea to review those. In general, though, you can use the following steps to install a new toilet:
