Community Plumbing Guide: Urinal Installs and Flush Valve Toilet Repairs by Raptor Plumbing Raptor Plumbing is proud to support our community with dependable service for both commercial and residential bathrooms. Two requests we’re seeing often right now are professional urinal installations and toilet repairs focused on the flush valve. Here’s how we can help keep your restrooms clean, efficient, and worry-free. Urinal Installation: Clean, Efficient, Code-Compliant Whether you’re outfitting a business, school, shop, or home garage, a properly installed urinal saves space and water while improving restroom flow. Our licensed pros handle the full install from start to finish. Site evaluation and rough-in measurements Carrier/frame installation for wall-hung units Supply lines, trap, and drain alignment Flushometer selection (manual or sensor) and calibration ADA and local code compliance Odor control and splash-reduction recommendations Water-saving options, including low-flow and waterless models We work efficiently to minimize downtime, schedule around business hours when needed, and leave the space clean and ready for use. Toilet Repair: Flush Valve Issues Solved The flush valve controls how water moves from the tank to the bowl. When it wears out or goes out of adjustment, you may notice: Constant running or “ghost flushing” Weak or incomplete flushes Needing to jiggle the handle after each flush Water leaking from tank to bowl or a high water bill Raptor Plumbing diagnoses and fixes the root cause—often a worn flapper/canister, damaged seat, misadjusted chain, or a deteriorated flush valve gasket. Precise diagnosis to confirm the flush valve is the culprit Flapper or canister replacement with quality, brand-matched parts Seat resurfacing or full flush valve replacement if needed Handle and chain adjustment for reliable operation Fill level calibration to prevent overflows and save water Dye testing to confirm the leak is fully resolved Quick DIY Checks Before We Arrive Note the brand and model inside the tank lid or near the hinge area Try a food-coloring dye test in the tank; color in the bowl without flushing means a leak Ensure the shutoff valve can turn easily in case water needs to be isolated Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage seals—call us for safe options Why Choose Raptor Plumbing?
