Toilet repair Nunawading

We were recently contacted a customer at Nunawading, who reported a nagging plumbing issue with the toilet in their Nunawading property. It was quite noisy, even when the cistern filled back up after using. The toilet unit was shifting at the base as well, indicating a potential issue with the P-Trap.
After we completed a COVID Screening, our licensed plumber Tim was despatched to the call.
Tim checked the inlet valve of the toilet after draining it, and replaced the faulty valve with a new Geberit valve. The water level was adjusted to the designated level.

Tim then managed to securely the toilet pan to the floor and caulked it as per the customer’s request.

The plumbing fixtures were all water tested afterwards. There was no more noise in the cistern and the unit was properly fixed.
