Why Homeowners Choose Ostroski Plumbing
Inviting a plumber into your home is about more than replacing a fixture. You are trusting someone with your space, your time, and your comfort. We approach every toilet installation with professionalism and care.
Since 2008, we have worked in homes throughout Billerica, Andover, and surrounding communities. That local experience matters. We are familiar with older cast iron drain lines, updated PVC systems, prior remodel work, and the mixed plumbing configurations common in this area. This helps us anticipate potential issues before they become delays.
Before starting any toilet replacement, we provide a clear, detailed estimate. We explain what is included in the standard installation and how we handle situations where hidden problems are discovered under the existing unit. Our goal is transparency — not mid-project surprises.
We also focus on how we work inside your home. We use drop cloths where needed, protect flooring and nearby fixtures, and clean up thoroughly once the installation is complete. We remove the old toilet and all packaging so you are not left with debris.
Every installation includes:
- One-year workmanship warranty
- Manufacturer warranty coverage on the fixture (when applicable)
- Clear, upfront pricing
- Professional removal and disposal of the old toilet
We proudly offer a 5 percent discount to active and retired U.S. military members. In addition, a portion of proceeds from every plumbing job supports the SPC Matthew Pollini Memorial Fund, a cause rooted in our local community.
Our Toilet Installation Process
Knowing what to expect helps reduce stress. We follow a consistent process designed to keep you informed and complete most installations in a single visit whenever possible.
1. Initial Call or Message
We gather details about the existing toilet, including whether it is leaking, rocking, outdated, or repeatedly clogging. If you already have a replacement toilet, we confirm specifications such as rough-in size. If not, we can provide guidance to help you choose the right model.
2. Clear Estimate
We provide an estimate covering:
- Removal of the existing toilet
- Inspection of the flange and surrounding area
- Installation of the new toilet
- New wax ring or appropriate seal
- Reconnection of supply line
- Leak testing and operational testing
If additional issues are discovered, such as a damaged flange or failing shutoff valve, we review options and pricing with you before proceeding.
3. Professional Installation
On installation day, we:
- Protect flooring and work areas
- Shut off and drain the existing unit
- Remove the old toilet carefully
- Inspect the flange and subfloor
- Set and secure the new toilet level and stable
- Reconnect the water supply
- Test for leaks and proper flushing
We ensure the toilet does not rock, shift, or leak before considering the job complete.
4. Final Review and Cleanup
We test the flush and refill cycle multiple times. Before leaving, we walk through the completed work with you, answer questions, and provide basic maintenance guidance. The old toilet and packaging are removed, and the work area is cleaned.
When To Replace Your Toilet
Some toilet issues can be repaired. Others signal that replacement is the smarter long-term decision.
You may want to consider toilet replacement if you notice:
- Frequent clogs or weak flushing
- Cracks in the tank or bowl
- Water pooling around the base
- A toilet that rocks or feels unstable
- Persistent running despite prior repairs
- Soft or damaged flooring near the base
Older low-flow models often struggle compared to modern designs. If your toilet is decades old and repeatedly needs service, replacement can improve reliability and efficiency.
In single-bathroom homes, waiting too long can create unnecessary urgency. Planning installation before a full failure helps avoid emergency situations — especially during busy seasons or before hosting guests.
If you are unsure whether repair or replacement makes more sense, we can evaluate your situation and explain the pros and cons of each option.
Respect for Your Home and Schedule
Toilet installation happens in real households — with children, pets, work schedules, and daily routines. We work efficiently and respectfully to minimize disruption.
Our regular hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with limited Saturday availability. We communicate clearly about arrival windows and keep you informed if anything changes.
Inside your home, we:
- Protect flooring and fixtures
- Handle tools and materials carefully
- Work cleanly and efficiently
- Remove all debris before leaving
We are also familiar with local plumbing codes in Middlesex County. If your installation is part of a larger renovation that requires permitting, we align our work with applicable requirements to help the process move smoothly.
FAQs About Toilet Installation in Billerica, MA
1. How long does a toilet installation usually take?
Most standard toilet installations are completed within a few hours. If additional repairs are needed, timing may extend slightly. We explain any changes before continuing work.
2. Do I need to supply the new toilet?
You may provide the toilet, or we can offer general guidance on selecting a model that fits your bathroom’s rough-in and performance needs.
3. What happens if the flange is damaged?
If we discover a broken or corroded flange, we review repair or replacement options with you before proceeding. We do not move forward without your approval.
4. Will you replace the shutoff valve if needed?
If the shutoff valve is worn or not functioning properly, we will recommend replacement and explain associated costs before completing the installation.
5. Do you remove and dispose of the old toilet?
Yes. We remove the old toilet and all related debris as part of our installation service.
6. Is a permit required for toilet installation?
In most straightforward replacement cases, a permit is not required. If the installation is part of a larger renovation, we follow applicable local requirements.
7. What causes a toilet to rock?
A rocking toilet is often caused by a loose connection, flange issues, or subfloor damage from prior leaks. We inspect the base to determine the cause.
8. Can I replace a toilet during a flooring update?
Yes. Coordinating installation with new flooring can help ensure proper fit and seal.
9. What warranty do you provide?
