"These guys are great. Developed a major water leak on Saturday of the Easter weekend. They came to the house within an hour of the call. They needed a part that was not easy to find and they went searching over westchester on a Saturday afternoon until they found it. I thought we would not have running water until Monday but they got it done. Worked until late and the water was running by dinner. They are highly professional and nice people who got the job done. They left everything neat and tidy. I would highly (highly) recommend them. This is from a guy who never posts comments on web sets."

"Mike is a nice and friendly. He came to give a free estimation for bathroom sink clogging problem. He checked the bathroom sink, shower drain, and toilet. He knew the problem. After negotiated the price, he unclogged our bathroom sink drain in 10 minutes. He had a professional tool to do the job. He also put on the Bathroom Faucets stoppers at no extra charge. He is thorough with his job. Recommend him. Awesome experience! Thank you Mike."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Hiring an emergency plumber is expensive because of the urgency and inconvenience, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down:

  • Minimize water damage by shutting off your water main 

  • Clean up pooling water immediately to reduce damage and mold growth

  • Avoid using fixtures if you have a clog or septic system backup

  • Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring

  • Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service

If you decide to replace the toilet flapper yourself, the only cost will be buying the new flapper for around $5 to $17. You can also hire a plumber or handyperson to take on the job instead, in which case you’ll pay an hourly rate for labor plus the cost of parts. Handypersons charge $50 to $150 per hour, while plumbers cost $45 to $200 per hour. This repair might take less than an hour for your pro, but note that many providers have a minimum rate for a house call. 

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.

Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.

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.
