Professional Vancouver Toilet Installation Services

When you want to install a toilet, there are various types and options to consider. Here are some popular choices:

• Dual Flush: This water-saving option allows you to choose between a full flush for solid waste (approximately 1.6 gallons of water per flush) and a half flush for liquid waste (around 0.8 gallons per flush). Opting for a dual flush toilet can save up to 4000 gallons of water annually, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
• Pressure-Assisted Flush: These toilets feature an additional pressure vessel that contains compressed air. As water enters the toilet bowl, it pressurizes and creates a strong flush. Pressure-assisted toilets are less prone to breakage and require less maintenance. They are particularly suitable for older homes with weaker drainage pipes or households with high water usage, as the added force helps push waste through older pipes.
• Double Cyclone Flush: Commonly found in public and commercial washrooms, these toilets use a high-speed stream of water to create a cyclone effect, cleaning the toilet bowl thoroughly before rinsing and flushing away the waste. Although effective, these use slightly more water (around 1.28 gallons) due to the bowl cleansing action.
• Gravity-Fed Toilets: This traditional flush mechanism has been used for over a century and remains a common household choice. When you push the handle, a valve opens within the tank, allowing water to rush into the bowl through the force of gravity. Gravity flush toilets are reliable, quiet, and less likely to clog.
• Automated or Touchless: Often seen in public restrooms, these toilets have motion sensors that automatically flush when you finish using them. This touchless operation promotes a more hygienic environment and resembles a smart home toilet experience.

When selecting a new toilet for installation, consider your water-saving goals, specific needs, and preferences to choose the best option for your home.

Following some do's and don'ts is important to ensure proper toilet upkeep. Here are some guidelines for homeowners in Vancouver to keep in mind:

Don't:

• Avoid flushing down large amounts of toilet paper at once, as it can increase the risk of clogs.
• Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can be harsh and potentially damage your pipes.
• Never flush feminine hygiene products such as pads or tampons, which can cause blockages.
• Do not flush cotton swabs, wet wipes, hygiene products, or cosmetics, as these items are not designed to break down in the plumbing system and can cause blockages.
• Avoid flushing medications, as they can contaminate the water supply and harm the environment.
• Do not use toilet fresheners that contain blued dyed chemicals, as these chemicals can deteriorate parts of your toilet tank.

Do:

• Regularly check your toilet for leaks by dropping a few drops of food colouring into the tank. If the colour runs into the bowl without flushing, it indicates a leak that should be addressed.
• Occasionally remove the tank lid and ensure the water levels are at the appropriate threshold. Adjust the float if necessary to maintain proper water levels.
• Keep a plunger handy for minor clogs that can be easily resolved without professional assistance.
