As one of the most used fixtures in your home, it’s inevitable that your toilet will need repairs or replacement at some point. At Holtkamp Plumbing, we’re experts at diagnosing toilet problems and providing reliable solutions whether that entails a repair, replacement or even recommendations for upgrading your existing toilet. With over 40 years of experience and our team of licensed, bonded and insured plumbers, you can trust us to get your toilet flushable again.
Common Toilet Problems We Repair
Some of the most typical toilet problems homeowners face include:
Clogs and Backups
Excess toilet paper combined with other flushable and non-flushable items can create clogs in the trap way, drain pipe, or sewer line. Our team has an array of methods for safely clearing clogs.
Leaky Components
If water is leaking onto the floor around the base of your toilet, the wax ring seal may have failed. Other internal components like the flush mechanism, tank bolts, or fill pr flush valve could also cause leaks. Our plumbers can identify the issue and repair it.
Weak Flushes
Low water flow from sediment buildup, failing parts, or improperly adjusted components can lead to a toilet that fails to fully flush waste. We troubleshoot flow issues and make fixes to restore flushing power.
Running Toilets
If you hear your toilet running constantly or cycling on its own, the flapper valve, float switch or other mechanisms may be malfunctioning. We can determine the trigger and correct it to prevent wasted water.
Bowl Water Loss
Water draining out of the bowl through the overflow tube long after flushing is usually caused by a blocked vent pipe or blown ring seal. Our plumbers have fast solutions.
Having your toilet break down is extremely inconvenient, and attempting a DIY repair could end up costing more if not addressed properly. The skilled Holtkamp Plumbing team has specialized expertise, high-quality equipment, and vast experience required for efficient toilet repairs.

Common Toilet Replacement Questions
For homeowners having their toilet replaced, some frequent questions that come up involve:
How is a new toilet installed?
After removing your old toilet, key steps involve preparing the flange area, carefully lowering and aligning the new toilet, connecting the water line, securing the bowl, applying a new wax ring seal and testing operation. Our experienced plumbers take care of the entire process efficiently from start to finish.
Do you haul the old toilet away?
Yes, we take care of removing and environmentally disposing of the old toilet as part of our full-service replacement offering. We handle all the mess so you don’t have to.
Do new toilets come in standard sizes?
New toilets generally come in standard 12” rough-in sizes, indicating the distance from the finished wall to the toilet closet flange center. 10” and 14” rough-ins are also options. We ensure your new toilet fits your bathroom layout properly.
How long does toilet installation take?
For an experienced plumbing professional, replacing a standard toilet takes 1-2 hours including removal, prep work, fitting, and testing. Schedule about 2 hours for a less accessible fixture. We always isolate water lines to prevent messes as well.
Do you need to upgrade the toilet flange?
If your existing flange shows deterioration from age or damage, we recommend upgrading it to achieve a solid seal with the new toilet. This avoids the risk of leaks down the road due to a compromised flange. Our plumbers inspect conditions and include upgrades as needed.
Do you need to replace the supply line?
We advise replacing any supply line over 5-7 years old during a new toilet installation. Plastic toilet supply lines become brittle and prone to bursting over time. Installing a fresh stainless steel braided supply line prevents leakage risk.
Holtkamp Plumbing also offers handicap toilet installation meeting ADA standards for households needing increased accessibility.
