A toilet that rocks, runs all night, or leaks around the base can turn into water damage fast. Coast to Coast Affordable Handyman and Housing offers toilet installation and repair in New Orleans, LA for homes and rentals. This service covers fixing leaks, clogs, and flushing problems, plus removing old toilets and setting new ones. Our toilet repair service and toilet replacement service both come with clear pricing and clean work. As part of our wider bathroom repair work, we also check the floor and shut-off valve, since these often cause trouble.
We install every common type. A standard toilet uses gravity to flush, while a pressure assisted toilet uses stored air for a stronger flush. A fancy toilet with a bidet seat may need an outlet nearby. We also handle low-flow toilet installation and comfort-height toilet installation, with a seat 17 to 19 inches high. Every toilet removal and installation gets a fresh wax ring, since a wax seal toilet never reuses its old seal. Uneven floors get toilet shims. As your toilet installation contractor, we make toilet installation and repair in New Orleans, LA simple.
Work finished, tested and the area left clean.
Every call for toilet installation and repair in New Orleans, LA starts with testing. We add food coloring to the tank, and if color reaches the bowl within 15 minutes without flushing, the flapper leaks. That dye test guides our running toilet repair. For leaking toilet repair, we check the supply line, tank bolts, and base seal. Clogged toilet repair starts with a toilet auger, which clears blockages without scratching the bowl. We carry a tubing cutter for supply lines, a putty knife for old wax, a caulking gun, a toilet tank repair kit, and spare toilet seat hinges.
