"Sam was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. He even gave me tips to keep my plumbing in check. He replaced a garbage disposal, unclogged a drain, repaired toilet, and replaced a plastic pipe. Pricing was fair and got discounts. I chose Henco based on reviews and their high standing with the BBB. So glad I found this company! They have a customer for life."
"Josh was awesome and I would hire him again if I had a plumbing issue! He was professional, courteous, and took the time to answer all my questions! Thanks Josh!"
"The Mountain View expertly replaced my sewer line. Communication was satisfactory, work was well-done and the price was excellent. I will hire Jose and Dorian again."
"The plumber didn t tell me before he installed it that the handle I bought for the toilet didn t fit right and would cause the lid to fall down. Also was a little overly friendly, giving my dog a treat without asking."
"I will definitely hire Anchor Plumbing for my next project. They worked within my budget and even did a little extra. Their suggestions were well explained. Derek and Carlos worked very fast and consulted with me throughout the project. Thanks"
Most toilets have a 12-inch rough-in or hole, but some have 10- or 14-inch holes, which means that not all toilets fit all setups. Knowing how to measure the rough-in is essential, so you purchase a toilet that fits the existing drain hole. It can be costly to have the rough-in moved, and most stores don’t accept toilet returns.
Snaking a toilet is similar to clearing sinks and bathtubs, but there are unique circumstances where you’d have to drain, disassemble, and remove the toilet to fix the clog. For stubborn clogs in the toilet trap, a toilet auger—designed with a shorter cable and a protective plastic encasing—can navigate the tight bends and clear the clog without risking damage to the porcelain.
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.
Left unattended, a leaking toilet will eventually cause water damage or mold growth. If you’re a homeowner, you can file an insurance claim for water damage. However, that can be a long and tedious process; sometimes, your insurance company may not cover the damage. Therefore, it’s always best to fix any leak you notice right away if you can.
The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.
