A toilet is one of the most important fixtures in your home, but it is easy to ignore it. You may not notice it until it stops working or needs replacement. Whatever your reasons for needing a new toilet are, professional installation is critical for long-term performance.

At Arnold & Sons, we provide expert toilet installation services in Peoria, Bloomington, and the surrounding communities. Our background-checked technicians will ensure your new fixture is installed correctly, sealed tight, and ready for years of reliable use.

Who Should I Call for Toilet Installation in Peoria?

Many homeowners consider having a handyman install their new toilet or even DIY solutions to save a few dollars. However, installing a toilet is complicated work. It requires understanding the complex connection between your home’s water supply and the sewer system. For this reason, it’s best to hire a professional plumber to install your toilet.

If you choose Arnold & Sons, our installation process includes:

  • Proper Flange Assessment

    We check the closet flange (the drain connection) for damage or rot to ensure a solid foundation.

  • Proper Wax Ring Sealing

    Creating a watertight seal is the most critical step. We ensure the wax ring is sealed perfectly to prevent leaks.

  • Leveling & Shimming

    We ensure the bowl is perfectly level and stable on the floor, eliminating that annoying “rocking” sensation.

  • Supply Line Inspection

    We check and often replace the water supply line to prevent future bursts.

Arnold & Sons 4-Step Toilet Installation Process

At Arnold & Sons, we treat your home with the same care and respect we would our own. When you hire us for toilet installation services, here is exactly what happens:

  • Arrival & Prep

    You will receive a notification when your technician is on the way. Upon arrival, we wear shoe covers and lay down protective mats to keep your bathroom floors spotless.

  • Removal & Haul Away

    We carefully disconnect and remove your old toilet. We’ll also haul the old toilet away for you, so you aren’t left with a heavy porcelain eyesore on your curb.

  • Expert Installation

    We install the new unit, secure the bolts, and connect the water supply.

  • Testing & Cleanup

    We don’t just bolt it down and leave. We test the flush, check for micro-leaks, and ensure the tank fills correctly. Finally, we clean the work area thoroughly, leaving your bathroom better than we found it.

How Do I Know I Need A New Toilet?

Sometimes a repair is enough, but other times, a replacement is the smarter investment. If your toilet is constantly running, cracked, or requires frequent plunging, it may be time to call a plumber.

We often recommend toilet installation for:

  • Bathroom Remodels

    Updating the look of your space.

  • Comfort & Accessibility

    Upgrading to “comfort height” (ADA-compliant) toilets that are easier to sit on and stand up from.

  • Water Efficiency

    Modern toilets use significantly less water per flush, lowering your utility bills.

Not sure if you need a replacement or just a fix? If your current toilet is generally in good shape but has a broken handle or flapper, visit our Toilet Repair page for assistance.
