Our Toilet Installation Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation – We’ll help you select a toilet that fits your space, plumbing setup, and style preferences.
Step 2: Removal of Old Toilet – We carefully disconnect and dispose of your old toilet, ensuring the flange and waste pipe are in good condition.
Step 3: Surface Preparation – We inspect and clean the base area, checking for floor damage or water intrusion.
Step 4: Wax Ring Installation – A new wax ring is placed to ensure a tight seal between the toilet and flange.
Step 5: New Toilet Placement – We position the new toilet, bolt it down, and ensure everything is level and stable.
Step 6: Water Hook-Up – Our technician connects the supply line and tests the water fill and flush mechanism.
Step 7: Final Testing – We flush the toilet several times, check for leaks, and clean the area.
Toilet Types & Their Benefits
Not all toilets are created equal. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types we install—and why you might choose one over another:
Gravity-Flush Toilets

Simple design and cost-effective
Easier to repair and maintain
Pressure-Assisted Toilets
Use compressed air for a more powerful flush
Ideal for high-traffic bathrooms or commercial settings
Louder but more efficient at clearing waste
Dual-Flush Toilets
Offer two flush options: half flush for liquid waste, full flush for solids
Great for conserving water
EPA WaterSense-certified models available
Wall-Mounted Toilets
Mounted to the wall with a concealed tank
Saves floor space and allows easier cleaning
Requires precise plumbing setup and strong wall support
Smart Toilets & Bidets
Touchless flushing, heated seats, built-in bidet wands, self-cleaning bowls
Hygienic and modern, though more costly upfront
Each option has its own set of pros and cons. Our team is happy to walk you through your choices based on your space, needs, and budget.
Emergency Toilet Repair Services
Some toilet problems can’t wait—especially if you’re dealing with a major leak, sewer backup, or non-functioning restroom in your business. Litteken Plumbing offers emergency repair services for those urgent situations that need immediate attention.
If your toilet is overflowing or leaking heavily, shut off the water supply valve and give us a call right away. We’ll dispatch a technician to resolve the issue and minimize damage to your property.
Reliable Toilet Repair Services
Toilets are built to last—but that doesn’t mean problems won’t arise. If your toilet is running constantly, leaking around the base, or not flushing correctly, our team can diagnose the issue and provide fast, effective repairs.
Common Toilet Problems We Repair:
- Running toilets
- Weak or incomplete flushes
- Constant clogging
- Leaks at the base or tank
- Broken flush handles or flappers
- Hissing or whistling noises
- Water supply line issues
- Phantom flushing or noisy tanks
Whether the issue is caused by a faulty internal part, a cracked seal, or a problem with the water line, we’ll get to the root of it and provide a durable fix.
Preventative Maintenance for Toilets
Like any part of your plumbing system, toilets benefit from regular inspection and care. Routine maintenance can help you avoid messy backups, wasted water, and emergency calls down the road.
What’s Included in Toilet Maintenance?
- Inspecting flush and fill valves
- Checking water levels and float mechanisms
- Ensuring a secure wax ring and no leaks at the base
- Examining supply lines and shut-off valves
- Cleaning jets and siphon holes for better flush performance
- Lubricating moving parts and replacing worn seals
Even if your toilet appears to be working fine, issues like slow leaks or internal corrosion can go undetected until they cause major problems. That’s why we recommend a routine inspection at least once a year, especially for older fixtures.
