Choosing the Right Toilet

Look for WaterSense-labeled models using 1.28 GPF or less. Comfort-height (17-19 in.) bowls are easier for adults but may be too tall for children.

What Can Go Wrong

The most common issue is a damaged flange that causes the toilet to rock or leak at the base. Catching this early prevents subfloor rot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rough-in size do I need?
Most homes use a 12-inch rough-in (center of drain to wall). Measure before buying to avoid costly returns.
Elongated or round bowl?
Elongated bowls are more comfortable but need 2 extra inches of clearance. Round bowls fit tight bathrooms.
Is a dual-flush toilet worth it?

Should I replace the flange?
If the existing flange is cracked, rusted, or below floor level, replace it to prevent leaks.
