Toilet Leak Repair in DuPage County
Even a small toilet leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water each month. If you notice water pooling around your toilet, moisture near the base, or unexplained increases in your water bill, it's important to schedule service immediately.
Preferred Professional Plumbing provides professional toilet leak detection and repair services throughout Lombard, Elmhurst, Hinsdale, and surrounding DuPage County communities. We accurately identify the source of the leak and make durable repairs to protect your home and plumbing system.
Running Toilet Repair
A running toilet may seem like a minor issue, but it can significantly increase water usage and utility costs. Common causes include worn flappers, faulty fill valves, damaged floats, and internal tank component failures.
Our plumbers quickly diagnose running toilet problems and replace defective parts to restore proper operation and improve water efficiency.
Clogged Toilet Repair Services
Persistent toilet clogs can indicate deeper plumbing issues. While occasional clogs are common, recurring backups may be caused by blockages in drain lines, sewer issues, improper flushing habits, or aging plumbing infrastructure.
Our toilet repair specialists use professional equipment, such as an auger for clogs closer to the toilet and not down the sewer lin to safely clear obstructions and ensure wastewater flows properly through your plumbing system.

Toilet installation is perfect for those who are looking to switch out to a toilet that is more energy efficient, improves your bathroom image, and offers better solutions for your daily bathroom needs.

We provide toilet replacement services throughout DuPage County and can recommend water-saving models that improve performance while reducing utility costs.
What Toilet Should I Choose?
Choosing the right toilet depends on your bathroom size, comfort preferences, water-efficiency goals, and budget. Understanding the different toilet types can help you find the best option for your home. Preferred Professional Plumbing has installed and repaired multiple different styles and flushing components to ensure you have a working toilet again.
Toilet Construction: One-Piece, Two-Piece, or Wall-Mounted?
Two-Piece Toilets
Best for budget-conscious homeowners. The tank and bowl are separate pieces that are bolted together during installation. Two-piece toilets are the most common and affordable option, making them a popular choice for most residential bathrooms.
One-Piece Toilets
Best for modern bathrooms and easy cleaning. The tank and bowl are molded into a single seamless unit. One-piece toilets offer a sleek appearance, fewer crevices for dirt buildup, and a more contemporary design, though they typically cost more than two-piece models.
Wall-Mounted Toilets
Best for luxury or minimalist bathrooms. The bowl mounts directly to the wall, while the tank is concealed inside the wall cavity. Wall-mounted toilets create a clean, modern look and make floor cleaning easier, but installation is more complex and usually requires plumbing modifications.
Flushing Technology: Which Flush System Is Best?
Gravity-Flush Toilets
Best for reliability and quiet operation. Gravity-flush toilets use the natural force of water falling from the tank to move waste through the drain. They are dependable, easy to maintain, and the most common choice for homes.
Dual-Flush Toilets
Best for water savings. Dual-flush models offer two flush options: a reduced flush for liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste. This design can significantly reduce household water consumption and lower utility bills.
Pressure-Assisted Toilets
Best for preventing clogs. These toilets use compressed air inside the tank to deliver a powerful flush. They are ideal for busy households, commercial spaces, or homes that frequently experience clogging, although they are noticeably louder than gravity-flush models.
Bowl Shape and Height: Comfort Matters
Round Bowl
Round bowl toilets feature a more compact, circular design that typically extends about 16.5 inches from the mounting bolts to the front edge of the bowl. Because they take up less space, round bowls are a popular choice for smaller bathrooms, powder rooms, guest bathrooms, and older homes where every inch matters.

Elongated Bowl
Elongated bowl toilets have an oval-shaped design that extends approximately 18.5 inches from the mounting bolts to the front edge of the bowl. This additional length creates a larger seating surface, making elongated toilets the preferred choice for comfort and everyday use.
Today, elongated bowls are commonly found in new home construction, bathroom remodels, and higher-end toilet models because they offer a more ergonomic design.
Standard vs. Comfort Height
Choose based on accessibility needs.
-
Standard Height: approximately 14–15 inches from floor to seat.
-
Comfort Height / Chair Height: approximately 16–19 inches, making sitting and standing easier for many adults and meeting ADA height guidelines in many cases.
