Customers say: Quality work

"On Saturday, at about 4:00 in the afternoon, the toilet and shower in my master bathroom had overflowed so bad that it had seeped into my bedroom. (This had occurred simply after I ran the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time.) Suffice it to say, this caused a panic in me. Thankfully, I was able to ascertain the problem with the help from a friend who used to be a plumber. This helped me to realize that, though inconvenient, the problem at least wasn't some kind of emergency. With that, I immediately began reaching out to any plumbers I could find. The quotes that I was receiving were simply far too high for the job, especially because I know how to snake a clean line myself. In fact, I would have done so myself, were it not for my desire to have a camera down the line. (I had a clog about a year ago, so I was interested in seeing if there were any larger issues.) Of all of the plumbers that I got into contact withâ including one of my friend's plumber friendsâ Precise Plumbing had the best rate. They were willing to do the job at a rate that I could afford. Not only this, Malik, who had come out to do the job, worked with excellence. He was punctual, communicative, and competent. Not only this, he was also very personable. After he finished the job, he showed me the root problem that he picked up in the cameraâ which was actually roots. He explained long term solutions, but was in no ways pushy about it. I immediately put Malik's work to the test by running both the dishwasher and the washing machine again, which had caused the overflow in the beginning. You'll never guess what happened... nothing at allâ the problem was solved. Anyways, I write this review to say that Precise Plumbing is the way to go. I will definitely be telling my friends about them, but I hope the HomeAdvisor community could likewise benefit from such a competent company."

"Service was ok... but, the repair did not last more than a few days. Toilet is acting up again, not sure if it will stop working again. Just frustrating."

"Pablo is the best. Replaced old galvanized pipes with copper throughout. Very knowledgeable and precise, explaining all that was done along the way. Took longer than expected, but understandable when dealing with piping 66 years old under the house. Very hard worker, careful every step of the way."

"Called because my toilets and showers were constantly backing up and clogging. Adam came out right away and within an hour, he came, addressed our issues and had us up and flowing immediately and we have not had any issues since! He also recommended some repairs that we will for sure be doing in the near future. Amazing customer service and very professional. Would highly refer this company to anyone needing any plumbing work, 5 stars. Thanks again Adam!"

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Recaulk your toilet at least every five years. If you feel like your toilet is getting wobbly before that, it still might be time for a new caulking. Never directly place new caulk over existing caulk because that doesn’t produce lasting results. Also, caulking over existing moldy caulk does not kill out the mold by suffocating it, so if you have mold, be sure to get rid of it before recaulking.

Most toilets weigh between 50 and 100 pounds, depending on the material, size, and style. Some toilets can be disassembled into multiple pieces, which can make them easier to carry and dispose of. If you’re concerned that a toilet is too heavy to remove and lift on your own, enlist help or use a dolly to support the weight rather than carrying it yourself.

Replacing a toilet costs between $275 and $480 in most cases, and the average cost sits around $375. This includes removing the old toilet and installing the new toilet. Your price could be significantly higher if you invest in a high-quality brand, need the replacement done on an emergency basis, or replace your toilet as a part of a larger bathroom remodel that demands additional work.

Putting caulk around a toilet’s base where it touches the flooring can help hold the toilet in place. A more effective way is using caulk with plastic shim wedges. Place the shims underneath the base to steady and stabilize the toilet. Add some caulk to help keep the shims in place and provide a stronger and more lasting stabilization effect.

Replacing a toilet typically takes two to four hours. Several factors can impact this timeline, including the condition of the old toilet, flange, flooring, and pipes. If a professional discovers issues like a cracked flange, damaged flooring, leaky pipes, or a broken wax ring, the installation will take longer. Additionally, some toilets, such as wall-mounted or in-wall-tank models, are more complex to install and may require cutting into and repairing drywall, which adds to the project time. Given the weight of toilets and the importance of proper placement, it is often best to hire a professional for the job.
