Before touching any tools or turning off the water, our technicians lay down protective tarps throughout the work area. Floors, carpets, baseboards - anything near the workspace gets covered.
It's not complicated, but it matters. Your home isn't our worksite. It's your home. Treating it that way from the start sets the tone for the entire job.
We send a two-person crew for toilet installations. While one plumber removes the old toilet and clears the area, the other unpacks and preps the new one. It keeps things moving without anyone rushing through steps that need attention.
Before the new toilet goes anywhere near the floor, both technicians inspect it completely. They check that all parts are included, look for shipping damage or defects, and verify everything's ready for installation. Catching a cracked tank or missing bolt now beats discovering it after everything's bolted down and sealed.
Our plumbers see the aftermath of bad installations regularly. One of our Charleston plumbers shared a call that's stuck with him:
"We got called out to a house where someone had installed their own toilet and forgotten the wax ring. Every single flush sent water onto the bathroom floor. It was seeping into the crawlspace, soaking the subfloor, creating mold conditions. They didn't realize what was happening until the damage was already done."
A missing wax ring costs about $3. The repairs from the water damage? Several thousand dollars.
Professional toilet installation isn't about being smarter or more capable than homeowners. It's about knowing which steps can't be skipped and what those mistakes actually cost when they happen.
Once the old toilet's out, our team doesn't immediately set the new one. They clean the area thoroughly - wipe down the floor, vacuum up debris, make sure the flange is visible and undamaged.
A clean work area isn't just about appearances. It lets the plumber see exactly what they're working with before the new toilet goes down. Cracks in the flange, uneven flooring, old wax residue - these are easier to address when you can actually see them.
After installation, everything gets tested. The tank fills properly, the flush works, there's no water where there shouldn't be water. Then the old toilet gets hauled out, the tarps come up, and the bathroom looks like we were never there - except for the new toilet that actually works.
