"Very professional work staff, toilet works perfect now. I am very happy the parts they installed were twice and good as the manufacturers parts that came with the toilet. I will NEVER buy another Sturhling appliance they are cheaply made and dont hold up. Ifi t had not been for these quys, we would have had to buy another toilet, which was what the manufacturer wanted."

"I usually mainly leave reviews for restaurant and bars, because thatâ s what Iâ m an expert at, however you do not need to be an expert to understand good quality service. This company lives up to the name and exceeds it by far. Trevor came and did some work yesterday for me, he was outstanding at explaining all of the problems and potential solutions, he was extremely kind, punctual, focused and thorough. Because of how he represented The company I feel it will be foolish of me to allow anyone else to do anything with plumbing in my house. Heâ s gained complete trust in just one day of working. If youâ re looking for good quality service, please just read the name and look nowhere else but Quality Service today. If I were you I would ask for Trevor Foust. Heâ s going to make sure you understand everything thatâ s going on and I understand all of your options. Thank you to all the kind staff that I spoke to."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Toilets typically connect to your main vent stack, a vertical pipe that runs through all finished levels of your home and exits through the roof. It’s located behind the walls, but if you have an unfinished basement or a utility closet, you may find a portion of it running the vertical length of the space. Some basement toilets use an air admittance valve instead, which is a small vent located in the wall directly behind the toilet that extends upward a few feet from the drain.

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.

If your toilet won’t stop running, you might have a bad fill valve. This may be the case if the valve has calcium or debris buildup, is cracked, or shows visible signs of wear and tear. A bad fill valve may also be the culprit if you’ve already checked the flapper and chain and adjusted the fill height to no avail.

While you shouldn’t increase the flow of your low-flow toilet by adjusting the water level in the toilet bowl set by the manufacturer, you can make the flow as efficient as possible by ensuring the rim jets under the rim are unobstructed. To do this, use a mirror to look under the rim and scrub them with a toothbrush or a small wire to clear any debris stuck in the holes. You can also watch for leaks, make sure the internal components are in good shape, and replace them if necessary.

If you have to hold the toilet handle (also called the toilet lever) down to flush, you probably have a chain problem. A chain that cannot fully lift the flapper will close too early and not clear the toilet bowl. Try adjusting the chain length so there’s about ½ inch of slack.
