Toilet Repair & Installation in Indianapolis, IN
Running, rocking, leaking, or just due for an upgrade — we replace flanges, set new toilets, and fix the failures other plumbers miss.
A failing toilet is rarely just a toilet problem. In Indianapolis homes — particularly century-old houses in Cottage Home, Holy Cross, and the Old Northside — a wobble at the base usually means a rotted closet flange, a slow leak around the wax ring, or a settled cast-iron flange that needs to be raised back to finished floor height. We diagnose what's actually wrong and fix it permanently, whether that's a $25 fill valve or a full re-set on a new flange.

Old Floors, Settled Flanges, and Indy's Common Toilet Failure
Indianapolis is a tile-floor town — particularly in the bungalow-heavy neighborhoods built between 1900 and 1940 — and when those floors get re-tiled over the years, the closet flange ends up sitting below the new finished floor. That single inch of height difference is the silent cause of most slow toilet leaks we find: water wicks past the wax ring with every flush. The correct fix is a flange extension or full flange replacement, not a thicker wax ring. We carry every common flange height and material on the truck, including offset flanges for the homes where the rough-in itself drifted over a hundred years of settling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my toilet keep running?+
Almost always a worn flapper or a fill valve out of adjustment — both are quick repairs. Persistent running after replacement points to a hairline tank crack.
Is a wobbling toilet really an emergency?+
Not an emergency, but don't ignore it. Movement breaks the wax-ring seal and slowly rots the subfloor below.
Should I replace a 20-year-old toilet?+
If it's pre-1994 it's using 3+ gallons per flush — modern 1.28 gpf toilets pay for themselves in water savings, and the new flush valves are much more reliable.
Do you install bidets and bidet seats?+
Yes, including the cold-water tee or dedicated supply line that some warm-water bidet seats require.
How long does a replacement take?+
A standard swap is 60–90 minutes. Add an hour if the flange has to be replaced.
