How to Pull a Toilet
Plumbing Service How-To Videos
Follow these steps to remove your toilet:
- Shut off the water to the toilet by turning the water valve off
- Flush the toilet to get as much water out of it as possible
- Take the lid off and continue to drain as much water as possible out of the tank and the bowl
- Use a wet/dry shop vacuum to remove the excess water from the tank and toilet bowl, so that when you pull the toilet, it won’t make a mess
- Undo the water line that connects the water supply to the tank
- Take the cap covers and then the nuts off of the two bolts that hold the toilet down
- Rock the toilet a bit, lift it up, and remove it
If you don’t want to pull your toilet yourself or you are not having success with it, call Garvin’s and we will help you.
