Bobby Hett

We had a main line drain clog under the house. Russell was our technician and approached the problem from outside the house, working retrograde from a trap in the front yard. I was skeptical but it worked when my efforts with a cable inside the house had failed. He was very professional and pleasant to deal with.  We asked him to install a cleanout closer to the house for future use and we were very satisfied with the work.

Tyler is the best! He came to our parent's house, knew exactly what the problem was, and explained it to us without the typical guesswork. I'd recommend him any time you need a good plumber.

How Often Should You Replace a Toilet?

The average lifespan of a properly installed and well-maintained toilet is between 25 and 50 years. However, this can vary based on usage and the frequency of care undertaken along the way. A porcelain fixture is designed to be sturdy and durable, minimizing the risk of breaks and leaks. While this material is strong and withstands everyday use, individual components are not so lucky. Minor wear and tear can affect system performance and cause costly plumbing repair services down the line.

If you suspect a problem with your toilet or detect warning signs, act quickly to prevent nasty surprises that might be expensive to fix. Call a licensed plumber in San Diego, CA to determine whether your fixture needs quick repairs or a full replacement. As stated, technicians understand the complexities of different systems, helping you choose an efficient and reliable system for your needs.

Types of Toilets

When investing in a new toilet, consider vital factors like interior décor and your bathroom’s functionality. Let’s explore the common toilet types available to help guide your decision without exceeding your budget or compromising indoor comfort.

One-Piece Toilets

Whether you are visiting a local hardware store or shopping online, you can expect to see a range of one-piece toilets. These systems are easy to install and clean because they have fewer complications and crevices. However, a one-piece toilet system is more expensive than a two-piece toilet, making it an unpopular option for homeowners.

It is worth remembering that a one-piece toilet consists of a large piece of ceramic, meaning it is heavy to carry and move around during the replacement process. If something breaks or chips, the whole system needs to be replaced instead of just the broken section.

Two-Piece Toilets

As the name suggests, a two-piece toilet comprises two separate parts, a tank and a bowl, that come together to form one. Unlike the latter, these systems have many crevices that require thorough cleaning to maintain a sanitary bathroom environment. Although the shape is similar to a one-piece toilet, it allows for a more mix-and-match approach, allowing you to choose the right height, tank shape, and design.

Two-piece fixtures are cost-effective to purchase and install, making them popular in households across the country. Additionally, repair and maintenance are also easier, since all it takes is replacing individual components to restore functionality.

Skirted Toilets

Finally, skirted toilets combine one- and two-piece designs, bringing the best of both worlds. Skirted systems offer a unique advantage that you can’t get with the other toilet types. By eliminating the visible lines at the trapway, a skirted system creates a solid surface around the fixture, down to the floor. With fewer crevices and edges, this unique design doesn’t easily collect dirt and bacteria.

Besides the numerous sanitary advantages, skirted toilets add style to your bathroom design. A professional plumber can outfit it with a wide range of toilet accessories, from a bidet seat to other modern attachments that conventional designs miss.
