What the installation includes
The old toilet is drained, unbolted and lifted. The old wax ring is scraped off and the closet flange checked for cracks, corrosion and the correct height relative to the finished floor. The new toilet goes down on a fresh seal, is bolted level, connected to the supply with a new braided line, and the tank parts are adjusted.

Choosing a model
- Check the rough-in: the measurement from the finished wall to the floor-bolt centreline. Twelve inches is the usual size, but older homes vary.
- Consider comfort height for older users.
- Look for a water-efficient model; many use far less per flush than toilets from the 1980s.
- Elongated bowls need more room in front than round ones.
Signs you need this now

Common surprises in older Oakville homes
Cast iron flanges that have rusted through, floors that were tiled over raising the finished height, and supply valves that will not close. Each is fixable, and we tell you before the old toilet comes up if we see warning signs.
Halton Region has offered toilet rebate programs in the past for efficient models. Check whether a current program applies before buying.

Straight answers to common calls
Can I supply my own toilet?
Yes. Look at the rough-in measurement before buying so it fits.
Should the base be caulked?
Many installers caulk the front and sides and leave the back open so a leak can show itself.
