What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Toilet Flange and Wax Ring Replacement?
The toilet flange is the fitting that connects your toilet to the drain pipe and anchors it to the floor. The wax ring (or seal) sits between the toilet base and flange to keep sewer gases and water from escaping.
Over time, these can:
Compress or fail, allowing water to leak at the base
Crack, rust, or break, causing wobble and poor sealing
Sit at the wrong height after new flooring is installed
“Toilet flange and wax ring replacement” means:
Removing the toilet
Inspecting and repairing/replacing the flange
Installing a new wax ring or appropriate seal
Resetting and securing the toilet so it’s solid and leak-free

Common Flange & Wax Ring Problems We See
Water pooling around the toilet base after flushing
Wobbling or rocking toilets that loosen the seal over time
Sewer gas or musty odors near the toilet
Stains on ceilings below bathrooms (in two-story homes or condos)
Loose or corroded flange bolts that no longer hold the toilet tight
Flanges set too high or too low after flooring changes
Old wax rings that have compressed, shifted, or failed
If your toilet is leaking, rocking, or smells bad around the base, the flange and wax ring need attention.
Call & Problem Description
You call (702) 438-3357 and describe your issue—water at the base, wobbling, or odors. We schedule a visit, prioritizing active leaks and homes with limited working toilets.
On-Site Inspection & Leak Confirmation
Your plumber checks for moisture around the base, tests for wobble, inspects the shutoff and supply line, and looks at any ceiling or flooring damage around/below the toilet.
Toilet Removal & Flange Assessment
We shut off water, drain the tank and bowl, and remove the toilet. Then we inspect the flange, bolts, and surrounding floor for cracks, corrosion, rot, or incorrect height.
Flange Repair/Replacement & New Seal
Depending on the condition, we repair, reinforce, or replace the flange, install new bolts/anchors, and set a new wax ring or suitable seal matched to the flange height and toilet base.
Toilet Reset, Alignment & Testing
We reset the toilet, level and secure it, reconnect the supply line, and flush repeatedly to check for leaks, wobble, and proper operation. We ensure there’s no movement and the base stays dry.
Cleanup, Documentation & Next-Step Advice
We clean the work area, remove debris, and explain what was wrong and what we fixed. If we spot subfloor damage or mold risk, we’ll point it out and recommend follow-up with flooring or restoration pros if needed.

Insurance & Claims Help
A failing flange or wax ring can cause water damage to floors, subfloors, and ceilings:
We can document where the leak came from, what flange/seal issues we found, and what we did to fix them.
Our detailed invoices can help explain the plumbing cause to your insurance or home warranty provider.
(Coverage decisions always depend on your specific insurer and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Subfloor rot: Even slow leaks can rot wood subfloors and damage framing.
Tile and flooring damage: Water can loosen tile, warp vinyl, and stain grout or stone.
Ceiling and wall damage: In multi-story homes, base leaks often show up as ceiling stains or bubbling paint below.
Mold and odors: Persistent moisture around the base can lead to musty smells and potential mold growth.
Toilet instability: A loose or poorly supported flange can lead to more wobble, more leaks, and possible bowl or tank damage.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Proper flange evaluation: We don’t just swap wax; we inspect and address flange condition and height.
Quality seals: We use reliable wax rings or appropriate modern seals matched to your flange and toilet style.
Secure anchoring: Toilets are anchored correctly with proper bolts and supports, not overtightened or left loose.
Code-conscious work: All repairs follow local plumbing codes in Clark County and nearby jurisdictions.
Hard-water aware: We consider local water conditions and overall toilet condition; if other parts are failing, we’ll let you know.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it’s the wax ring or something else?
If water appears right at the base after flushing, or you notice sewer odors near the toilet, the wax ring/flange area is a prime suspect. We’ll confirm on-site by inspection and testing.
Can I just tighten the bolts to stop the leak?
Over-tightening bolts can crack the toilet base and won’t fix a failed wax ring or damaged flange. Proper repair usually requires removing the toilet and addressing the seal and flange.
What if my floor is already damaged or soft?
We’ll let you know what we find. We can fix the flange and seal, but subfloor repairs may require a contractor or restoration company. Fixing the leak is the first step.
Is this a quick job?
Many flange and wax ring replacements can be done start-to-finish in a single visit, but we’ll go at the pace needed to do it correctly and safely, especially if the flange is damaged.
Do you have to replace the whole toilet?
Not always. If the toilet itself is in good shape, we can often keep it and just replace the flange, wax ring, and hardware. If the toilet is old or cracked, we’ll discuss replacement options.
