"Frank did an amazing job during our plumbing crisis. Our basement sewage ejector pump had burned out, causing a backup of waste. Frank and his brother heroically cleared out the waste and replaced the pump with a model better suited for the job. They were quick, friendly, and transparent through the entire process and their pricing is fair and straightforward. I definitely recommend calling Frank and SewerServ for any plumbing needs."

"Cleared up clogged kitchen sink, installed new kitchen faucet, repaired hardware in tub that connects shower and faucet, showed me how to clean jacuzzi, and will return to replace toilet tank mechanism. They were fast, cleaned up after each job and showed us how everything works. We were very impressed."

"Daniel was very professional and courteous. I especially liked how he explained and showed what he was doing, what he found, and how our plumbing systems worked. He and his assistant Alex unclogged our very stopped up kitchen sink drain, replaced a worn out wax ring to fix our leaking toilet, and found and fixed a leak in our toilet tank supply line as well, all in very good time. Daniel also provided good tips for how we could perform preventative maintenance on our kitchen sink drain line, and he showed me what part I would need to order to be able to remove and clean our faucet aerator to help restore proper water pressure. Very satisfied and would definitely hire again!"

"The guys did a great job replacing my garbage disposal and re-piping under my kitchen sink that had been incorrectly installed by a previous owner and brining everything up to code. They also replaced a leaky faucet in my bathroom. The price quote I received from them was about half the cost from another company that I was connected to through Angi’s list so overall I am very happy. They were fast, professional, courteous, explained everything, and cleaned up everything after the job was done. I highly recommend Mario & Sons for any work that you need completed. They even had a job at my neighbors house immediately after they completed my work and I know they were happy with the work performed as well."

"Initially the team came out to check a leaky supply valve for a toilet. After they left, it was discovered that there was actually a crack in the toilet itself. They waived the initial charge for the work done and applied that payment towards the replacement of the toilet. Very quick, responsive, professional, and tidy"

"Mattco has been performing repairs and regular plumbing maintenance at my 116 year old Chicago 2-flat for many years. Over time with experience I have gained trust in Mattco Plumbing to get me out of big jams with the plumbing in this old building. Just recently Matt repaired the 2nd floor toilet drain line in the ceiling above my 1st floor bathroom in a very tight spot. I have had other plumbers walk away from the repair or just wanting to do the band aide repair. Matt was able to replace the entire drain line above the ceiling. I watched him do the repair. It wasn't easy, but he got it done. I have peace of mind because I know the repair will last for ever. I'm in my 50th year working and owning an HVAC company. I know a good technician when I see one. I trust in Mattco Plumbing."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Tools include pipe wrenches, plungers, and augers. Professionals use advanced equipment for complex issues.

Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it’s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain’s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank. 

The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that’s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there’s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you’ll need to see which size toilet flapper you need.

Basement toilets don’t always need a pump. However, it is the most common setup because plumbing systems use gravity to move waste away from the home. Basement toilets often sit below the home’s main sewage system, and installing a sewage ejector pump pushes the wastewater and sewage up to the main sewer line. Alternatively, you can use an upflush or macerator toilet that breaks down the waste and pushes it straight to the main sewer line rather than via a sewer line from the bathroom.

Technically, you can put an elongated toilet seat on a round toilet, but it’s not a good idea. Elongated toilet seats are a few inches longer than round toilets, so they will hang over the front edge of your toilet, which isn’t appealing. Additionally, an unsupported toilet seat or portion of a toilet seat is more likely to crack and shift, which could result in injury to whoever uses the toilet. Always match your toilet seat style to your toilet, or replace the toilet entirely if you’re looking to switch styles.

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.
