Toilet Buying Guide

When it comes to buying a new toilet, we know that several considerations must be made. After all, this fixture will probably be a daily part of  your home or workplace use for quite sometime. As a result, our expert plumbers in San Diego have compromised a helpful guide of things to think about when making your new purchase.

Flush Power
The first thing to consider is flush power. You’ll want a toilet that flushes effectively without creating clogs. An experienced San Diego plumber knows that the flush rating for a toilet determines how effective it is when removing waste without clogging. California has specified regulations in place, but there are toilet models that will achieve your desired results with less chance of clogging than others.

Bowl Shape
The shape of the bowl is another important factor to consider before making your purchase. Many believe that an elongated bowl is more comfortable. However, a round bowl is better suited to tight spaces. So, if space is not an issue in your bathroom, our experienced plumbers in San Diego would recommend that you choose an elongated bowl. And, think on what you have now, or have had in the past. What shape has been more  comfortable?

Height
Finally, when selecting a toilet, you will want to factor in height. Standard toilets are either 14 or 15 inches, while 16 and 17-inch toilets are becoming more popular with taller adults and all ADA compliant toilets are 17 inches. Our team has experience with installing and servicing all different types of toilets including circular and elongated along with standard and tall heights. It is also important to know the distance from the wall to the middle of the toilet flange; this measurement is how our skilled plumbers will determine which toilets we can replace in your space. And, of course, we always suggest you choose a height that feels most comfortable.

If you are still unsure as to what toilet is right for you, a San Diego plumber from Bill Howe would be more than happy to help guide you through the process. Plus, they can even perform a quick and easy install.

What David says about us

Service for new garbage disposal. My ancient garbage disposal quit working, went online to get Bill Howe’s number, immediately received and accepted chat to describe my needs. Prompt call back to schedule an appointment, service tech Allen was out same morning, which was important to fit my work schedule. Job estimate was clear, work done fully to my expectations, area left clean, and price was very fair.
I was not surprised — I have used Bill Howe plumbers for several other tasks in the past. I have always found their staff to be helpful, attentive, and the plumbers very courteous and capable.

What Mira says about us

Bill Howe never fails us! We had a drain overflow, and Scott came (on a Saturday) to look at it and offer solution. He was punctual, professional, and extremely helpful. I should also praise the main office for always being helpful and always finding solutions. Very grateful to have you in San Diego!

What Ed Gohlich says about us

Cory was our technician on this job. We had a time sensitive repair issue and Bill Howe understood and assisted with getting the job done quickly.
Cory was on time to start the job and finished it quickly. Upon his leaving our home he’s was courteous, very knowledgeable, explaining what the problem was and how he fixed it. Very good communication and this is the way it’s has always been when we use Bill Howe plumbing.
Great company to work with.
Thanks Cory.

What Bridgett says about us

I am extremely happy with the service we received from Bill Howe Plumbing. We were given an incorrect diagnosis of our main sewer line from another vendor, but Bill Howe’s servicemen came out for a second opinion, correctly diagnosed our problem and resolved our back up issues. We will continue to use Bill Howe for all our future plumbing needs!

Thank you Bill Howe Plumbing.
