We were recently called out to a home in Lakewood Forest for a toilet that “just didn’t feel right.” The homeowner knew something was off — the toilet wasn’t stable, it wasn’t sealing correctly, and there were signs that water might be escaping beneath the floor.
When it comes to toilets, the real problem is often hidden below the surface.
The Real Issue: A Failed Toilet Flange
Once our licensed technician removed the toilet, the cause became clear: the toilet flange was damaged and no longer providing a proper seal between the toilet and the drain. A failing flange can lead to:
- Hidden leaks under the floor
- Soft or rotting subfloor
- Mold and odor issues
- Expensive structural repairs
Left untreated, a small toilet leak can quietly cause thousands of dollars in damage.
How We Fixed It
Our Bear’s Plumbing team:
- Removed the old toilet
- Replaced the damaged flange
- Installed a new, secure, code-compliant flange
- Set a new toilet
- Properly sealed and tested everything for leaks
The result? A stable toilet, a proper seal, and no more water escaping into the home.
Why Professional Toilet Installation Matters
Toilets are one of the most-used fixtures in any home. If they aren’t installed correctly, small problems become big ones — often hidden until it’s too late.
At Bear’s Plumbing, we don’t just replace fixtures. We make sure everything below them is safe, secure, and installed according to Texas plumbing code.
If you live in Lakewood Forest, Spring, or the surrounding area and have a toilet that rocks, leaks, or doesn’t flush properly, don’t wait — it could be a flange issue hiding beneath your floor.
