Replacing a toilet in Potomac is one of the best small upgrades you can make — better flushing, less water, and a more comfortable height. We handle removal, install, and haul-away.
Signs it's time to replace your toilet
- Old 3.5+ gallon-per-flush model
- You want a comfort-height or elongated bowl
- Cracks in the bowl or tank (even hairline)
- Frequent clogs despite normal use
- Toilet rocks or leaks at the floor
- Constant repairs to the flush mechanism
What's included
Shut off and drain, remove the old toilet, inspect the flange and subfloor, new wax ring (or wax-free seal), new closet bolts, new braided supply line and quarter-turn shutoff if needed, install and level the new toilet, caulk the base, and haul away the old one.
Potomac homes: what we see
Many Potomac homes from the '80s–'90s have first-generation low-flow toilets that clog easily. Modern models flush far better.
Potomac has a mix of public water and private wells on larger lots. If you're on a well, let us know — it changes a few things about pressure and water quality we'll check.
The flange is the hidden piece
A broken or low flange is the most common reason a toilet leaks at the base or rocks. We check it every time and repair it with a spacer or repair ring, or replace it when needed — before the new toilet goes in.
Choosing a toilet
WaterSense-labeled toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less and still flush well. Comfort height (about 17") is easier on knees and a favorite with older homeowners. Measure the rough-in distance (wall to bolt center) — most are 12", but older homes sometimes have 10" or 14".

Until we arrive
If the toilet is leaking, turn the shutoff valve behind it clockwise. If there's water on the floor around the base, don't use it — the wax seal may be broken.
