Toilet Repair and Installation in Las Vegas

A toilet that runs is the most expensive small fault in the house, quietly adding to a metered Las Vegas water bill. Most are a worn flapper or fill valve and are a quick repair. A toilet that rocks or weeps at the base is a wax seal or flange problem, which is more urgent.

What is included

The work itself

Running toilet repair

Flapper, fill valve and flush valve replacement to stop a toilet that keeps refilling.

Toilet installation and replacement

Old toilet removed and a new one set, new wax seal and supply line, checked for a clean seal.

Leaking base and reseat

Pulling the toilet, replacing the wax ring, and repairing the closet flange where it has failed.

Worth knowing

Before you book

Running toilet, higher bill

A silent leak past the flapper wastes a surprising amount of metered water. Usually a flapper or fill valve, and cheap to fix.

Rocking or weeping at the base

That is the wax seal or the flange, and water is reaching the subfloor. It moves up the priority list.

Switching to WaterSense

SNWA runs a rebate on qualifying high-efficiency toilets. We can set one and point you to the current program.

Questions

Toilet Repair, answered

How hard is the water in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas Valley Water District publishes valley tap water at roughly 291 parts per million, about 17 grains per gallon, and classifies it as very hard, around two and a half times the national norm. The minerals come from the Colorado River through Lake Mead. It is the single biggest reason water heaters, fixture cartridges and dishwashers wear out faster here than their rated life suggests.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Las Vegas?

Yes. Clark County, the City of Las Vegas and the City of North Las Vegas all require a permit for a replacement as much as for a new installation. Which of the three you deal with depends on your address rather than your mailing city, because a Las Vegas postal address can sit in unincorporated Clark County. We pull the permit and meet the inspector as part of the job.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Monkey Wrench Contractors LLC holds Nevada State Contractors Board licence 0092999 and trades as Monkey Wrench Plumbing. We are a BBB accredited business with an A plus rating, and every technician is background checked. About thirty minutes before your appointment you get a text with the assigned technician's photo, name, licence number and live ETA.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. The inspection is free and you get a flat-rate price before any work begins, so the number you approve is the number you pay. If the scope changes once something is opened up, we stop and re-quote rather than adding to the invoice at the end.

Are you actually available 24 hours a day?

Yes, dispatch runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on (702) 900-5992. If water is actively running and you cannot stop it, shut off your main first and call second, because that one step is the difference between a wet floor and a flooded one.

Is there help with the cost of finding a leak?

There can be. The Southern Nevada Water Authority runs a Leak Detection Assistance Program that gives qualifying single-family customers a voucher worth up to $250 toward leak diagnosis or the first hours of repair. You apply as the account holder before work begins and use a participating plumber, and it is one voucher per property per calendar year.
