"Tenant's child lodged a foreign object (among other things) in the toilet. Rob came out quickly, and diligently snaked the drain, eventually removing the toy. Spent at least 10 mins before it budged, but Rob was determined to retrieve the object."

"We had had someone else come out who was unable to get through whatever was blocking our sewer line, causing raw sewage to back up into our home! Jeff was very honest and clear about what he would do and what he might be able to accomplish. He arrived quickly since this was kind of an emergency and within 30 minutes he was able to break through the roots, etc that was blocking the line. He was very knowledgable and helpful. Would definitely call him again and would refer him to others."

"MJ Digby came by on short notice to help out with a faucet installation. The job was done quickly and professionally. The visit also included an inspection of some old pipes, how to manage them, and a discsussion about some future plumbing projects. There was plenty of practical advice and less of a sales pitch. Absolutely loved worked with MJ Digby."

"I had the pleasure of working with Gentille Plumbing for a full renovation of my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. He handled everything — water, gas, and sewer — with the highest level of expertise and professionalism. From start to finish, he was punctual, respectful, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every aspect of the plumbing installation was done efficiently and with great care. He communicated clearly throughout the project, kept the worksite tidy, and ensured that everything met code and functioned flawlessly. It’s rare to find tradespeople who combine technical skill with such a strong work ethic and reliability. Gentille Plumbing delivered top-notch service, and I would highly recommend Him to anyone needing quality plumbing work — whether it’s a renovation, new construction, or repairs. Thank you, Gentille Plumbing, for a job extremely well done!"

"I have had Spencer Home Services work on my house before and they were recently here again on an unrelated issue. Rich came out and solved the problem like any good plumber would. The difference is Rich’s attitude, respectful of our needs and time was outstanding. As a homeowner it’s great to know you can trust your repairman to do a good job."

"Plumber arrived within the specified time period set by the company. He was a professional with 17 years experience and was quite knowledgeable. He installed the toilet that I provided in an efficient manner, tested for leaks and cleaned up the area. Carried the old toilet to the curb. He also put a new handle that I provided on the shower valve that stopped the leak, thus avoiding a further cost to us!"

Toilets questions, answered by experts

While you might think that phantom flushes are simply eerie, they are bad for your toilet (and wallet). These flushes indicate a leak somewhere in the toilet system that needs repairing. These leaks can cause damage to your walls, flooring, and even your plumbing system. While one random flush every now and then might not seem like a big deal, leaving it unattended can lead to bigger problems. 

The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.

Even if you’re not very handy, DIY toilet repair is something many people can handle. However, that doesn’t mean that every repair project is something to try to take on yourself. 

On paper, replacing a toilet flange is rather straightforward. However, it requires heavy lifting and critical thinking, especially if things don’t go according to plan.

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.

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.
