A toilet that leaks, wobbles, or runs nonstop costs you money every month. DeCicco Property Group provides full toilet installation for homeowners across Hammonton, Egg Harbor Township, and the surrounding South Jersey area. Call today for a free estimate.
In Hammonton, toilet problems are one of the most common calls we get from homeowners. A running toilet, a cracked bowl, or a unit that wobbles at the base all point to the same thing – it is time for a replacement. DeCicco Property Group removes your old unit, inspects the flange and supply line, and installs a new toilet that works the way it should.
Toilet installation is one of the most common jobs we handle as part of our bathroom remodeling services. Whether you need a simple swap or a full bathroom update, our team has completed over 100 projects across Atlantic County and is ready to help with yours.
Lou DeCicco personally oversees every project, from a single toilet replacement to a multi-fixture renovation. We hold NJ contractor license #13VH10307500 and carry full insurance on every job. Call (609) 845-7909 to schedule your installation.
Most toilets last 15 to 20 years. After that, problems start to add up, and repairs become less cost-effective than a full replacement.
Visible cracks in the porcelain are the clearest sign. Even a hairline crack in the tank or bowl can turn into a slow leak that damages your subfloor and the ceiling below. Once porcelain cracks, patching is not a permanent fix.
A toilet that runs after every flush is another red flag. That constant running can add hundreds of dollars to your water bill each year. Replacing the flapper or fill valve may help short-term, but older toilets often develop multiple internal issues at once.
Wobbling at the base means the wax ring seal or the flange underneath has failed. Water may be seeping under the toilet and into the subfloor, creating conditions for mold and rot that go unnoticed until the damage spreads.
Frequent clogs are also worth paying attention to. Older low-flow models from the 1990s often lack the flushing power of newer designs. A modern toilet with an updated flush valve and trapway will clear waste on the first flush every time.
Choosing a toilet goes beyond color and shape. The type you pick affects comfort, cleaning, and how well it fits your bathroom layout. We walk every homeowner through the options before ordering.
Two-piece toilets have a separate tank and bowl bolted together. They are the most common style in South Jersey homes and the most affordable option. Parts are easy to find if you ever need a repair years later, making them a practical long-term choice.
One-piece toilets combine the tank and bowl into a single unit. There is no seam between the two, which makes cleaning easier and gives the fixture a sleeker profile. These work well in small bathroom remodels where a clean look matters.
Comfort height toilets sit about 17 to 19 inches from the floor, compared to the standard 15 inches. They are easier to sit down on and stand up from, which makes them a popular choice for older adults and anyone with knee or hip issues.
Wall-hung toilets mount directly to the wall with a concealed tank inside the wall cavity. They free up floor space and make mopping simple. These are often part of a larger bathroom renovation where the wall framing can be opened up during construction.
Dual-flush toilets give you two flush options. A half flush handles liquid waste using roughly 0.8 gallons. A full flush handles solid waste at 1.6 gallons. Over the course of a year, homeowners in Hammonton can save thousands of gallons of water with this setup.
Every toilet installation follows the same careful process. Skipping steps leads to leaks, wobbling, and callbacks – and that is not how we operate.
We start by shutting off the water supply and flushing the old toilet to drain the tank and bowl. We disconnect the supply line and unbolt the toilet from the floor. The old wax ring is scraped clean, and we check for any water staining or softness in the subfloor around the drain.
With the old toilet removed, we inspect the closet flange. If the flange is cracked, rusted, or sitting too low relative to the finished floor, we repair or replace it before going any further. A bad flange is the number one cause of toilet leaks after installation, and catching it here saves a callback later.
We set a new wax ring on the flange and carefully lower the new toilet into place. The mounting bolts pass through the base, and we tighten them evenly on both sides to prevent rocking. Over-tightening can crack the porcelain, so this step requires a steady hand.
After the toilet is secured, we connect the water supply line and turn the water back on. We flush several times and check every connection point for leaks – at the base, the supply line fitting, and the tank-to-bowl gasket.
The whole process typically takes one to two hours for a standard swap. If flange repair or floor work is needed, we let you know the scope and cost before starting any extra work.
The rough-in measurement is the distance from the wall behind the toilet to the center of the drain pipe in the floor. This single number determines which toilets will physically fit your bathroom, and getting it wrong means returning the fixture and starting over.
Most homes in Hammonton and the surrounding South Jersey area have a 12-inch rough-in. If your home was built before 1960, you may have a 10-inch or 14-inch rough-in instead. Older homes in the borough, especially those near downtown Hammonton, commonly have non-standard measurements.
Installing a 12-inch toilet on a 10-inch rough-in pushes the tank too close to the wall and may prevent the lid from opening fully. Installing a 12-inch toilet on a 14-inch rough-in leaves a visible gap between the tank and the wall that collects dust and looks unfinished.
We measure the rough-in before recommending any toilet. If your home has a non-standard measurement, we help you find a model that fits without any plumbing modifications. Manufacturers like Kohler and American Standard make toilets specifically for 10-inch and 14-inch rough-ins.
If you are replacing the toilet as part of a larger bathroom remodeling project, we can relocate the drain pipe to open up more layout options and give you a wider selection of fixtures.
We have spent over seven years remodeling bathrooms and kitchens across South Jersey. Toilet installation is one of the most common jobs we handle, and we treat every one with the same attention we give a full renovation.
