Toilet Replacement in Topeka, KS

Reliable Toilet Installation by a Licensed Master Plumber

When your toilet leaks, rocks, or constantly runs, it’s time to replace it with one that works efficiently and reliably. I’m Jamie O’Harra, owner of O’Harra’s Plumbing Service, and I provide professional toilet replacement in Topeka and Northeast Kansas.

With over 27 years of hands-on plumbing experience, I handle every job personally—from removing your old unit to securely installing and testing your new one. As a licensed master plumber, I make sure each toilet is properly sealed, vented, and connected to your home’s plumbing system.

Why Toilet Replacement Matters

A worn or inefficient toilet can waste water, increase bills, and cause leaks that damage flooring and substructures. Modern toilets use significantly less water per flush, operate more quietly, and reduce the risk of leaks and running tanks.

Replacing an old or faulty toilet not only improves performance but also saves money over time. I’ll help you choose the right model and ensure it’s installed correctly for years of worry-free use.

 Common Reasons to Replace a Toilet

Persistent Leaks

Leaks at the base, tank, or fittings can cause water damage and mold. I replace worn-out toilets and seals to stop leaks for good.

Rocking or Unstable Toilet

A toilet that rocks or shifts usually has a damaged flange or deteriorated subfloor. I repair or replace the flange and install the new toilet securely.

Constant Running or Poor Flushing

If your toilet runs nonstop or doesn’t flush properly, it may have internal wear or low efficiency. Newer toilets flush powerfully with less water.

Cracks or Physical Damage

Visible cracks in the bowl or tank are unsafe and should be replaced immediately. I handle complete removal and installation to restore full function.

 Outdated Design or Height

Many homeowners upgrade for comfort and appearance. I install comfort-height, ADA-compliant, and modern low-profile models that suit your needs.

My Toilet Replacement Process

Replacing a toilet involves more than simply swapping fixtures. I make sure each installation is watertight, level, and built to last.
