"Good efficient work, showed up on time, clean, courteous workers. They gave me one choice for a replacement toilet to install the next day, so in the meantime I looked up the brand and model and found it was one of the cheaper toilets on the market. I called next morning and they offered me a better one at the same price. I should have done the same with the water heater they replaced. After it was completed I found pretty poor reviews on it. SoCal does give a 3 year warranty on labor, and manufacturer 6 years, so hopefully it will last longer than thatâ ¦ Just beware- probably with any plumbing company- Find out first what the reviews are on the plumbing fixture they're giving you before you sign off on it. As long as you do that this seems to be a reliable plumbing company to use."

"Jonathan and his team are EXCELLENT! I am an estate manager and manage multiple high-end properties for my client in Redondo Beach and the Palos Verdes Peninsula area. Sewer Boyz are our GO-TO for all things plumbing-related. We have had them work on basic leak repairs, to installing new toilets, to Hydrojetting blocked drainage lines, to replacing sump pumps! They are super professional and knowledgeable and above that, very easy to work with. If it's a more complex repair, they always make sure you understand exactly what the issue is before you make any commitments. We trust and appreciate Jonathan and in this line of business, we NEED to have knowledgable, dependable and affordable specialists like Jonathan and his team. It makes our jobs and lives easier."

"Had a problem with a toilet flange and installing an Swedish toilet. Swedish toilets are going to be the next big thing. But the supply line feed is on the other side of the toilet and the supporting flange can't be from the 1920's. Dynamite plumbing got it done the same day. Literally perfect."

"They called us quickly and got a plumber out within a few days. Super thorough - tested all pipes and water sources to diagnose the problem. They were able to perform maintenance on most bathrooms the same day and improve the water temperature in our showers. Gave helpful, non-biased advice on potential further plumbing improvements. We will likely call this company again for any and all future plumbing needs."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

Many homeowners stress about cleaning before an emergency plumber arrives, but you’re far better off doing the following while you wait for your plumber to get to your home:

  • Shut the water off at your water main if you have a leak or a burst pipe 

  • Avoid using any water fixtures in your home, including appliances

  • Clear a path to the problem area so that it’s easily accessible 

  • Consider shutting your breaker if you’re concerned that the leak may affect your electrical system

Most codes require 15 inches on either side of the toilet's centerline (from the wall or vanity) and at least 21 to 24 inches between the toilet and the wall in front of it. These codes ensure that your toilet is easy to use and access, even in small bathrooms. Check your local building codes for the exact measurements required. 

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.

The lifespan of a toilet can vary significantly. While the porcelain body itself can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, most plumbers suggest an average functional lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and many homeowners replace their toilets after about 20 years.

A toilet's longevity is influenced by factors like maintenance quality, hard water buildup, and damage to the finish. It's also important to note that internal components have much shorter lifespans than the bowl; for example, flappers may last only a few years, while fill valves can last around 10 years.

Even if an older toilet is still functional, consider upgrading to a high-efficiency model to save on water costs.
