Toilet Problems We Fix in Skokie

Toilets in Skokie Homes
In postwar Skokie homes, the toilet is often newer than the plumbing under it.
Corroded Cast Iron Flanges
The flange under the toilet can rust away, so the toilet won't stay tight.
Basement Toilets
Some drain by gravity, others to an ejector pump.
Clogs That Aren't the Toilet
If several fixtures are slow, it's the main line.

What's Under Your Toilet
In many 1950s Skokie homes, the toilet sits on a cast iron flange connected to the original drain. Over time, the flange corrodes and the bolts lose their grip, so the toilet rocks and the seal fails. We repair or replace the flange before setting the toilet. It's the difference between a toilet that stays tight and one that leaks again in a year.
What Affects the Price of Toilet Work
Small repairs are quick. Replacing a corroded flange takes longer. A new toilet depends on the model. We check and quote a flat price.

Toilet Questions From Skokie Homeowners
Loose bolts or a damaged flange.
Usually loose bolts or a corroded flange. Rocking breaks the wax seal, so it's worth fixing early.
An older toilet or a line problem.
Older low-flow toilets clog more. If other drains are slow too, the main line is the problem.
If it's cracked or keeps failing, replace it.
If the bowl or tank is cracked or it keeps needing repairs, replacing it is usually better.
