Toilet Installation Gainesville, FL
At Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we understand that having a properly functioning toilet is essential not just to the comfort of your home but also to its health and safety. If something isn’t working, we can help you with a repair,, but if it can’t be fixed, we are there to provide toilet installation services in Gainesville, FL.
4 Reasons to Consider Gainesville, FL Toilet Installation
You might want to invest in a new toilet for several reasons.
Low-Quality Porcelain
The first is that the current model you have could have low-quality porcelain. A cheaper, lower-quality model is more likely to chip, crack, or discolor, especially if it is in direct sunlight. If you recently purchased a home or you have an older home and you notice discoloration, chips, or cracks in the toilet, it might be worth replacing your toilet now rather than dealing with long-term repairs.
Heavy Usage
The second is that your toilet no longer supports the amount of usage in your home. Toilets in a household with multiple people, like a large family with several children, will need to be replaced much sooner than a household with a single adult. If your current toilets are outdated or presenting with many problems and expensive repairs, we can help you decide on a replacement model that better fits your usage requirements.
Damage
The third is that your current toilet is damaged. If you have a damaged toilet, we will try to conduct toilet repairs where appropriate, but in some cases, those repairs may not be effective enough or might be too costly. A general rule is that if a repair costs 50% or more of a replacement cost, you should invest in a replacement.
Upgrades
The fourth is that you want to upgrade.
At Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we can help you install traditional two-piece toilets with a tank and a bowl. This is a fast and simple replacement. We can also help you with a streamlined, one-piece installation, a wall-mounted unit, a corner toilet for cornered spaces, right-height toilets for those with mobility issues, dual-flush units, or smart toilets with features including heated seats and automatic flushing.
- We can help you install several upgraded versions of the toilets you already have, such as a low-flow toilet that offers better sustainability and reduces your long-term utility costs or water usage.
- We can also help you upgrade to something that contains a bidet as well.
- We can review wall-mounted toilet grades for your Gainesville, FL, home if you want more floor space in your home.
- If you want a dual flush version that helps with high-efficiency water control, we can review what other plumbing updates might be required to support such a model.
