Reliable provider offering 24/7 plumbing & HVAC services
Whether you're replacing an old, inefficient toilet, upgrading to a modern comfort-height model, adding a bathroom during renovations, or dealing with a cracked toilet that's leaking onto your floor, professional toilet installation ensures proper function and prevents future problems. A toilet that's installed right works reliably for 20+ years, while poor installation leads to ongoing problems that cost far more than doing it properly from the start.
At TMK Plumbing & Heating, we've installed hundreds of toilets throughout Grande Prairie homes and businesses. We handle every aspect of toilet installation from removing and disposing of your old fixture to ensuring your new toilet is level, sealed properly, and functioning perfectly. When you call us for toilet installation in Grande Prairie, you're getting licensed plumbers who do it right the first time with quality materials and proven installation techniques.
We handle every type of toilet installation project for Grande Prairie homes and businesses. Our experienced plumbers ensure your new toilet is installed correctly with proper sealing, levelling, and connections that prevent leaks and ensure reliable operation.
New toilet installations include a complete setup when adding bathrooms during renovations or new construction. We install the toilet flange at the correct height, ensure proper floor support, connect supply lines, mount the toilet securely, and test thoroughly for leaks and proper flushing.
Toilet replacements are our most common service, removing old, inefficient, or damaged toilets and installing modern replacements. We remove your old toilet, inspect the flange and subfloor for damage, make necessary repairs, install a new wax ring, mount your new toilet level and secure, connect the water supply, and test everything before cleanup.
We also handle toilet upgrades to comfort-height models for easier use, high-efficiency toilets that reduce water consumption, dual-flush models offering flush options, and accessibility-compliant toilets for aging-in-place modifications. We help you select the right toilet for your needs and install it properly.
Selecting the right toilet involves understanding the options available and how they match your needs, budget, and bathroom requirements. We help Grande Prairie homeowners make informed decisions that deliver long-term satisfaction.

Most toilet installations take 1-2 hours from start to finish. Straightforward replacements where the flange and subfloor are in good condition typically take 60-90 minutes.
This includes removing the old toilet, cleaning the flange area, inspecting for damage, installing the new wax ring and toilet, connecting the water supply, securing all bolts, testing for leaks and proper flushing, caulking around the base, and cleanup. Installations requiring flange repair, subfloor work, or supply line modifications take 2-3 hours.
We work efficiently to minimize your bathroom downtime while ensuring every step is completed properly.
Yes, removal and disposal of your old toilet is included in our installation service. We carefully remove your existing toilet to prevent floor damage, drain all water from the bowl and tank, and transport it away for proper disposal.
We follow Grande Prairie waste disposal regulations and can deliver old toilets to appropriate recycling or disposal facilities. You don't need to worry about how to move or dispose of a heavy, awkward toilet; we handle everything.
If your old toilet is in good working condition and you'd like to donate it or keep it for another purpose, we can leave it for you instead.
Yes, we can install any toilet you purchase from retail stores or online suppliers. However, we recommend consulting with us before purchasing to ensure the toilet you select will fit your bathroom properly and connect to your existing plumbing.
Some toilets have specific rough-in requirements (the distance from the wall to the drain center), and purchasing the wrong rough-in size creates installation problems.
We're also happy to source and supply quality toilets at competitive prices, which simplifies the process and ensures we can warranty both the fixture and installation. If you've already purchased a toilet, just let us know the make and model when scheduling installation.
A wax ring is the seal between your toilet base and the drain flange that prevents water and sewer gases from leaking onto your bathroom floor. The wax ring compresses when the toilet is installed, creating a watertight seal. Once compressed, wax rings cannot be reused – removing a toilet breaks the seal permanently.
Every toilet installation requires a new wax ring to ensure proper sealing. We always install new wax rings, never reuse old ones. Using old or improper wax rings is the leading cause of toilet leaks that damage bathroom floors. Quality wax rings with plastic flanges provide the best seal and are included in every TMK toilet installation.
Yes, we inspect toilet flanges during every installation and repair or replace damaged flanges as needed. The toilet flange is the fitting that connects your toilet to the drain pipe in the floor. Flanges can crack, corrode, or break from age, overtightening, or toilet movement.
A damaged flange prevents secure toilet mounting and proper sealing, leading to leaks and wobbling toilets. We carry various flange repair kits and replacement flanges to address common damage. If we discover flange damage during your installation, we'll explain the issue, provide pricing for the repair, and complete it properly so your new toilet mounts securely.
Yes, we regularly install toilets in Grande Prairie basements for bathroom additions, renovations, and suite developments. Basement toilet installations are more complex than main-floor installations because the toilet drain must connect to your home's sewer line, which often sits below the basement floor level.
We use several approved methods depending on your specific situation: installing the toilet on a raised platform to gain gravity drainage, using a sewage ejector pump system that pumps waste up to the main sewer line, or breaking through the basement floor to install drains that connect to the main sewer line. We assess your basement layout and recommend the most cost-effective solution that meets Alberta plumbing codes.
A running toilet after new installation usually indicates an adjustment issue with internal tank components, not a problem with the installation itself. The most common causes are: the fill valve is set too high causing water to continuously flow into the overflow tube, the flapper chain is too short preventing the flapper from sealing properly, or the flapper itself is defective.
These are simple adjustments we make during installation testing, but occasionally components need fine-tuning after a few uses. If your newly installed toilet runs constantly, call us immediately and we'll return to adjust it at no charge. A properly installed toilet should fill after flushing, then shut off completely and remain silent until the next flush.
