"I had a plumbing problem with a complicated Japanese toilet. I had no idea who to call for service. The very polite gentleman they sent out admitted that he seldom saw this particular problem, but would find the answer for me. He did! He scheduled the specialist plumber and followed up with him for me. All without charge. I will work with this company in the future."

"Excellent service. Ray called ahead of appointment to confirm model requirements. He found that a leak was starting. I trust his judgment. I have used Vista plumbing for 20 years for toilet replacement to water heaters and I am always satisfied."

"THEY WERE ABLE TO COME ON THE SAME DAY I CALLED. THEY WERE VERY PUNCTUAL. HOWEVER THEIR PRICES WERE EXTREMELY HIGH, AND HE TRIED TO TALK ME INTO A MUCH HIGHER SERVICE THAN I ACTUALLY NEEDED. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME TOILET WAS LEAKING AGAIN. I CALLED A LOCAL PLUMBER THAT ENDED UP BEING MUCH CHEAPER AND THE JOB WAS DONE CORRECTLY. THE TOILET HAS NOT LEAKED SINCE."

"I called Top Notch plumbing in the afternoon and the following morning at 8:00AM, they were at my door and ready to work. My immediate reaction was their friendly introduction and then an explanation of what work would be required to correct our plumbing problems. I was very aware of exactly what was required to fix the toilets. There were no surprises. The overall approach by Top Notch was very professional, nice "chit-chat" during the work and a bill that matched exactly the work completed. I regard Top Notch as a highly dependable plumbing service, fairly priced, knowledgeable trouble shooting and would be welcome in my home anytime. At age 71, I have met many plumbers over the years and I would regard Top Notch as an A+ company."

"It went very well. My husband and I made the mistake of providing the wrong faucets to him for the wrong bathroom. However, he took it with a grain of salt and willingly said that it was no problem and he would install the right faucets which he did. It did cost us more money but it was worth it. He did an excellent job of installing the faucets and left the bathrooms in a clean and orderly condition. He was very pleasant and cordial during his time here. I would highly recommend him to anyone and we would definitely call him for future plumbing issues.

Toilets questions, answered by experts

You definitely can over-tighten toilet tank bolts. Unlike some other materials, porcelain can’t bend or flex, so when you over-tighten a screw into it, it could break against the added pressure. Only tighten them as much as needed to keep them in place and firm; any more and you could risk breaking the porcelain.

Hiring an emergency plumber is expensive because of the urgency and inconvenience, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down:

  • Minimize water damage by shutting off your water main 

  • Clean up pooling water immediately to reduce damage and mold growth

  • Avoid using fixtures if you have a clog or septic system backup

  • Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring

  • Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service

Whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted toilets are better comes down to personal preference.

Overall, standard floor-mount toilets are less expensive to purchase and install, but they don’t offer the streamlined, modern appearance and adjustable height of wall-hung toilets. Ease of cleaning should also be considered, as wall-hung toilets are easier to clean than standard models.

You should replace your toilet at least every 25 years. While toilets are pretty sturdy appliances, they don’t last forever. Even if you aren’t ready to invest in the cost of a bathroom remodel yet, just replacing your toilet will help freshen up your space and keep your bathroom functioning.

Some of the problems with in-wall toilets include the complex installation, which might need extra framing. It is also more difficult to access the toilet tank for maintenance or troubleshooting because it’s behind the flush button panel and in the wall. Over time, you’ll spend more on maintenance because you’ll need a plumber to work on hidden plumbing.
