Toilet replacements in Aurora span more construction eras than almost any other suburb we serve. In West Aurora's historic core near downtown (ZIP 60506) — homes from the 1890s through 1940s — cast iron drain lines and original high-tank or early close-coupled toilets are still present in some cases. Cast iron flanges in these homes are frequently cracked, corroded, or set several inches below finished floor level after decades of renovation layers. These require flange repair or an extender ring before any new toilet can be properly sealed. In mid-century East Side homes (1950s–60s, ZIP 60504), 3.5 to 5 GPF toilets on aging wax seals are the standard job. In newer East Aurora subdivisions from the 1990s–2000s (ZIP 60502), it's typically 1.6 GPF fixtures with worn fill valves and flappers — straightforward replacements. West Aurora's harder well-sourced water accelerates internal valve degradation, so we recommend pressure-assist or dual-flush models for homes on that system.
Yes. East-side homes (pre-1960) may have older flanges, non-standard rough-ins, and shutoff valves that haven’t been touched in decades. West-side builds (post-2000) are usually straightforward. We assess before quoting.
West-side newer homes typically take 1–1.5 hours. East-side older homes can take up to 2 hours if the flange or shutoff valve needs attention — which we identify during the initial assessment.
Yes. We remove the old toilet and take it with us, or leave it curbside per your preference. Disposal is included in the service.
In older Aurora homes, rocking often signals a deteriorated wax ring or flange issue. We re-bolt and re-set to stop it. If the flange is damaged, replacement is the more permanent fix — we’ll tell you which applies.
Yes. We install electric and non-electric bidet seats. East-side Aurora bathrooms frequently lack a GFCI outlet near the toilet — we verify this during assessment before scheduling the install.
