Bakersfield Plumbing Toilet and Fixture Installation

Low Flush Toilets can save you money
In the early 1990’s Federal legislation was passed requiring all U.S. plumbing manufacturers to at least meet these water-efficiency standards:

  • Showerheads: 2.5 gallons per minute
  • Faucets: 2.5 gallons per minute
  • Toilets: 1.6 gallons per flush

Still, many homes have older toilets that use more than 3 gallons per flush. The early low flush toilet models were imperfect. So, even if you low flush toilets, they may not be performing properly.

Our Bakersfield Plumbers can install low flush toilets and other water-saving devices in your home. The cost will quickly pay itself off – and you’ll be doing your part to conserve our resources.

Toilet leaks are sneaky
Some plumbing problems, such as burst pipes, announce themselves loudly. Toilet leaks, on the other hand, can go for years without any apparent signs. You will not always hear the toilet “running” when there is a leak. Undetected leaks cost you money over time, and can turn into bigger problems.

Try this quick home test to determine if your toilet has a leak. Put a few drops of food coloring in the water tank (behind the toilet seat.) Wait a few minutes (do not flush) and look at the water in An above view of a new toiletthe toilet bowl. If the color is there, you have a leak. Our Bakersfield Plumbing contractors can quickly isolate and repair the leak. And you can begin enjoying lower water bills.

Wax Seals do not last forever
The wax seal attaches your toilet to the drain pipe. When the seal is old or damaged, odors can enter your home and your toilet will not attach firmly to the flooring. If you notice any of the following, it may be time for a wax seal inspection and possible replacement – a job Our Company can easily handle for you:

Water leaks at the base of the toilet after flushing

Constant odor in the bathroom

“Rocking” or unsteady toilet.
