Toilet Installation Westwood NJ
Get Your New Toilet Installed Right the First Time
Homeowner on Ridgewood Road bought a toilet at Home Depot. "Free delivery!" they said. What they didn't mention was installation's the hard part. Three hours later, toilet rocking, wax everywhere, water leaking into basement ceiling.
We reinstalled it properly next day. Level, sealed, solid. That's the difference between professional installation and YouTube University. H. Hofmeister installs toilets daily across Westwood. Takes us 45 minutes. Works perfectly for decades.

Why Toilet Installation Isn't as Simple as It Looks in Bergen County
Toilets seem basic - bolt to floor, connect water, done. Then you discover your floor's not level, flange is wrong height, rough-in doesn't match, and nothing lines up.
Installation Problems We Fix Daily
-
Rocking toilets that never seal properly
-
Leaks destroying subfloors
-
Wrong rough-in measurements
-
Cracked flanges needing repair
-
Uneven tile causing gaps
-
Supply lines that don't reach
Your bathroom floor probably isn't perfectly level. Older Westwood homes have settled. That quarter-inch difference means your toilet rocks, seal breaks, and sewage leaks into ceiling below.
What to Know Right Now (Before We Arrive)
Measure Your Rough-In
Distance from wall to drain center. Standard's 12 inches. Could be 10 or 14. Wrong toilet won't fit. Period. Measure twice.
Check Flange Condition
That ring your toilet bolts to? Often cracked or corroded. Needs fixing before new toilet. Otherwise guaranteed leak.
Consider Toilet Height
Standard or comfort height? Elongated or round? ADA compliant? Once installed, you're living with choice for years.
Where Installation Gets Tricky
Upstairs Bathrooms
Leak detection crucial here. Small leak becomes ceiling disaster. Extra care needed. No room for mistakes.
Basement Bathrooms
Might need ejector pump if below sewer line. Different installation completely. Requires special knowledge.
Powder Rooms
Tight spaces make installation harder. Door clearance matters. Sometimes need smaller toilet. Planning prevents problems.
Had customer in River Vale who bought beautiful toilet online. Wouldn't fit through bathroom door. Had to return it. Shipping cost more than installation would've been.
Floor and Flange Prep
Level floor if needed. Replace damaged flange. Ensure solid mounting. Foundation determines success.
Proper Sealing Technique
Double-wax ring for tile floors. Perfect compression. No rocking. Leak prevention guaranteed.
Complete Testing
Fill, flush, check for leaks. Verify solid mounting. Test water pressure. Ensure perfect operation.

Why Bergen County Bathrooms Challenge Installers
Old houses have shifted. Floors aren't level. Flanges are original. Pipes are deteriorating. Every installation unique.
Westwood's older homes have cast iron flanges rusting away. Washington Township's builders used cheapest toilets possible. Emerson's settling causes chronic rocking toilets.
