Comments Off on Top 3 Signs You Need New Bathroom Fixtures

The bathroom is one of the most frequently used rooms in the home and one of the largest consumers of your water supply. Your guests visit this room regularly, making it important to keep it looking stylish; plus, you want to ensure you are not wasting water with older, less efficient fixtures. Here are three signs it is time to replace your bathroom fixtures.

  • Faucets leak or drip. Do you constantly have a shower or sink in your bathroom that drip or leak? While it may be something as simple as a washer that needs replacing in the faucet, it may be time to replace the shower or sink set completely.
  • Your water bill is high. Look at the amount of water your family uses each month. If it is too high, you may want to consider more efficient fixtures. The bathroom is a good place to start; replacing showerheads and your toilet with efficient models can save hundreds of gallons per day.
  • Outdated design. Sometimes, you just want a new look for your bathroom. Changing the fixtures in your bathroom is a cost-efficient option to improve the appearance. If the old faucet or sink is stained or outdated, opt for a newer design to give your bathroom a makeover.

If you are ready to replace your bathroom fixtures for efficiency or a new style, call your local plumber. Fixtures like your toilet or sink should be installed by a professional to ensure it is done right the first time. It can save you time and money in the long run to trust a professional plumber for your installation.

Shopping For a New Toilet

Comments Off on Shopping For a New Toilet

Whether you are remodeling your bathroom, installing a bathroom in a new home or addition, or replacing your old toilet with a water efficient low flow toilet, here are a few things to take into consideration while shopping for your new toilet.

First, measure the area where the toilet is to be placed to make sure that the new toilet will fit.  Toilets come in different sizes and you can avoid a return trip to the store by measuring carefully before you start shopping.

Measure from the wall behind the toilet to the bolts that hold the toilet to the floor.  Then, make sure that the distance from the back of the tank to the bolts on the toilet you are considering is less than this measurement.  In a tight space, you may also want to measure the side to side distance to make sure there is enough clearance.

You will need to choose between a one piece toilet or a two piece toilet. With a one piece toilet, the tank and bowl are combined into a single unit.  There is no connection between the tank and bowl to leak and these toilets have a sleek, modern appearance.  Two piece toilets have a separate tank and bowl.  They have a traditional appearance and are a little easier to install since each piece weighs less.

You can also choose between a round bowl which saves a little space and an elongated, oval shaped bowl that are a little more comfortable.  Toilets are sold in a variety of colors, but white is by far the most common.  You may be able to find what you are looking for in bone, but most other colors will most likely need to be special ordered.

Considering that most toilets will be used regularly for many years, professional toilet installation by a good local plumber who handles bathroom plumbing repairs is well worth the modest cost.  A poorly installed toilet can leak and cause damage to your bathroom floor.
