Toilet Installation Ottawa

Over 60 percent of Canadians use their bathroom first thing in the morning and for a good reason! Healthy bowel movements occur during our sleep, so as soon as you wake up, everyone in your household will argue about who gets to use the bathroom first. Some may start their mornings easy and slow, requiring their first glass of water or cup of coffee to wake up their body and mind. But no matter what time of the day, your toilet remains the most essential plumbing fixture in any home. It’s also responsible for over 30% of your overall water use.

Whether you’re mapping out the bathroom of your soon-to-be-built home or are planning a new toilet installation, Ottawa homeowners have to consider various things to ensure they get the best system and installation service that ensures high performance and longevity. Good toilets last a little over ten years as long as you maintain them well by not flushing foreign objects and using plunging and snaking devices excessively. Depending on the type you have, it’s worth checking the surface areas for signs of damage and the elements inside your toilet tank, such as the rubber flapper, fill valve, and float.

Eventually, every property owner will need toilet installation services. This is where your licensed Ottawa plumber from Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Ottawa comes in with professional tools and expertise to get the job done effectively and efficiently.

Toilet Installation Ottawa

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it’s important to know the different toilet models and their flushing styles before your initial toilet installation. Ottawa homeowners either want something more suitable for their needs or the same model but more efficient. Once our professional plumber has inspected your existing toilet and the structure of your drain line, they will be able to help you determine the best type to install.

Main Toilet Types:

  • One-Piece: This is your traditional model where your tank and bowl are attached together. It’s highly durable, reliable, and easy to install. However, it costs slightly more due to its high performance and ability to keep leakage to a minimum.
  • Two-Piece: This is a common household model where the tank and bowl come separately. It's less expensive and more economical, enabling you to customize parts by choosing your preferred options for looks and heights. Although replacement parts are easy to find, a two-piece toilet is prone to breakage and leaks; however, easy to repair.
  • Wall-Mounted: A wall-hung toilet is directly mounted to the wall, with a tank installed inside the wall. This is probably the most expensive type because it's more difficult to install. However, nothing is too difficult for your Ottawa plumber! We’ll want you to enjoy that extra space you’ll get after your toilet installation.

Advanced Flushing Mechanisms

We like to call them advanced flushing mechanisms because back in the day, people would use five to seven gallons of water for one single flush, whereas today, we use approximately 1.6 gallons, depending on liquid waste or solid waste.

Whether you prefer a one-piece, two-piece, or a wall-mounted system, you want to know which flush mechanism works best for your overall plumbing. It may be too much to think about because all you need is a functional toilet with a healthy storage tank that drains water into the bowl when activating the button or lever. But choosing a specific flush mechanism could change your life forever.

  • Dual Flush: Dual-flush toilets are commonly found in many Ottawa households. Dual flush allows you to choose from a big flush for solid waste (1.6 gallons of water) or a half flush for liquid waste (0.8 gallons). It’s considered an environmentally friendly option for Ottawa homeowners. Although it's expensive, it's a more energy-efficient option that could save you money and manage your water usage in the long run.
  • Pressure-Assisted Flush: This mechanism has an additional pressure vessel inside the tank. When water mixes with that compressed air in the pressure vessel, it becomes pressurized and leads to a powerful flush. This system is reliably efficient, strong and best for large family households. Despite its efficiency, it’s very noisy.
  • Gravity: Gravity-assisted flushes are the most common and secure mechanism for standard-size households. As the fill valve releases water from the tank, a siphoning effect is created, and the natural force of gravity pushes waste through the trap way. In contrast to its pressure assist counterpart, gravity types are more silent because they operate with fewer parts.

FAQs About Toilet Installation Ottawa

  • When thinking about the detailed process of a toilet installation, Ottawa homeowners are advised to turn to their local professionals. That’s because the installation steps include installing a drain pipe that connects directly to your home’s sewer line.

    It may only be DIY-friendly if there is an existing drain pipe. Any underground piping services require a licensed plumber; otherwise, in case of any damages, you may not be covered by any insurance or warranty. We highly recommend that you hire a plumbing professional.
