Toilet Rocking and Re-Setting in Temple, ME

A toilet that rocks when you sit down is breaking its own seal. Each movement squeezes the wax ring, and once a gap opens, water and sewer gas get out.

A-1 Plumbing Services connects Temple, ME homeowners with plumbers who stop the rocking. On an uneven floor, plastic toilet shims under the base and a bead of caulk around it hold the bowl still. If the closet bolts are loose, the plumber checks whether they are spinning in a broken flange slot before tightening, because cranking down on a loose toilet can crack the porcelain foot.

If the toilet has been rocking for a while, the seal is probably already gone. A full re-set means pulling the toilet, replacing the seal and bolts, leveling it on shims and setting it back down.

Soft flooring around the base means water has been getting underneath, and it gets checked while the toilet is up.

Call A-1 Plumbing Services at (866) 303-3394 for toilet rocking repair and re-setting in Temple, ME.

Toilet repair FAQs

Common questions about toilet repair and toilet installation

Questions we hear most often about Toilet Rocking and Re-Setting in Temple, ME.

Talk to a person
Is water around the base of my toilet serious?
It can be. If it shows up after flushing, the seal under the toilet has likely failed and water is reaching the subfloor. Get it checked before the floor goes soft.
What size toilet do I need for my bathroom in Temple, ME?
Measure the rough-in from the finished wall to the center of the floor bolts. Most homes are 12 inches, and some older houses are 10 or 14 inches. Buy a toilet that matches.
What is the difference between a 1.28 and a 1.6 gallon toilet?
1.6 gallons per flush is the federal maximum. 1.28 gallons is the high-efficiency standard used by WaterSense and required by law in several states, including California, Texas, Colorado and Georgia.
Is a comfort-height toilet worth it?
For taller adults and anyone with knee or hip trouble, usually yes. The seat sits at 17 to 19 inches instead of about 15. Small children may find it harder to use.
How long does toilet installation take?
A straight swap on a sound flange usually takes a couple of hours. Flange repairs, a damaged subfloor or a wall-hung carrier add time.
