"Steve Burleyson did an excellent job remodeling our master bath. Working alone, he removed our existing shower enclosure and replaced it. He also installed new shower doors. He pulled out the bathroom sink and toilet and laid new tile flooring. He was efficient, courteous, neat and professional. We also had glass block windows installed in the master and hall bathrooms by this company. The work was done quickly and neatly and we are extremely happy with the results."

"Straightforward and honest. How refreshing to get answers and to have service people who tell you what they are going to do, then do it, tell you when they re going to arrive and actually show up as promised, give you a truly reasonable rate and stick by it. Point out problems they see but no on the spot pressure pushing. Great guys. Great work. Very efficient. My 94 year old Dad slept in the next room while they quietly just did their work. Courteous- no nonsense - very pleasant and again, straight answers. They did extra problem solving for us and kept it simple. Would recommend highly. They will be our new plumbers and have already recommended to others. We re grateful we found Optane Plumbing. And btw - I never take the time to fill these out - but I was super impressed and had real confidence in their work. They know their business and do it well."

"I hired Burke Plumbing for a new installation of a toilet (06/11). Work was fine except the gentleman did not finish caulking work around the toilet (the back side of the toilet was not caulked at all). I called twice to report the problem; each time the lady said someone would call me. I have waited at least ten (10) days since my last call to Burke to write this review to give Burke a chance to respond to my request. As of today (06/30), no one from Burke called me to discuss my request."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

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.

The toilet should rest 10, 12, or 14 inches from the back wall. As for other clearances, 15 inches is the minimum distance from the flange to any side wall or nearby fixture, including the shower, tub, and sink. Modern codes also require at least 24 inches of clear space in front of the toilet.

If you experience the telltale sign of wax ring failure, which is leaking water, replacing the faulty ring takes one to three hours, depending on accessibility. This is an exacting and time-consuming job, as several components must be removed for the plumber to access the ring. Once replaced, however, wax rings require little to no maintenance and last 30 years or longer.

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.

You can DIY your toilet flapper replacement if you’re up for a small plumbing project. Turn off the water to the toilet, open the tank lid, remove the chain from the lever, and unhook the flapper. For a new, adjustable flapper, adjust it to the right setting according to your toilet's gallons per flush rating. Hook the flapper in place and install the chain with 1/2 inch of slack.
