Nick
May 2026
A Pittsboro homeowner reported that two Kohler toilets were very loose at the base and shifting, with concern about potential structural damage underneath. They also wanted their customer supplied Spring well water purification system installed and all three emergency shut off valves under the kitchen sink replaced.
When Nick pulled the left side guest bath toilet, he noticed some flooring damage underneath. He reset it for now, and it was tighter than it was before, while the toilet in the right side guest bathroom was shimmed and caulked. Nick also installed the homeowner's Spring well water filtration system with its included sediment filter, replaced all three emergency shut off valves under the kitchen sink, and replaced the expansion tank.
Once all the work was completed, Nick tested everything thoroughly and confirmed everything was functioning properly.

If your toilet is less than 15 years old and the issue is a running mechanism or minor leak, repair is usually the smart choice. For toilets older than 20 years, especially 3.5 or 5-gallon models, replacement with a modern 1.28-gallon high-efficiency toilet saves water, improves flush performance, and costs less over time.
Jiggling works temporarily because it repositions the flapper over the flush valve seat. This means the flapper is warped, has mineral buildup, or has lost its flexibility — all common in hard water areas. Replacing the flapper is a quick, inexpensive fix that stops the waste.
We frequently install the Toto Drake II and American Standard Champion 4 for families. Both feature powerful flush systems that handle heavy use, comfort-height seating, and durable components that resist our local hard water conditions. Both are WaterSense certified at 1.28 gallons per flush.
A straightforward toilet replacement on an existing flange takes about one hour. If the flange needs repair or the floor around the toilet requires attention, expect 90 minutes to two hours. We always test with multiple flushes and check for leaks before we leave.
