I am remodeling half-bathroom in my mid-century house, and was aiming to minimally make leaking toilet functional and, possibly, update it. Lincoln NE Roto-rooter service person carefully explained various options, relaying how he would do his best, but toilet might break in trying to remove metal fittings. He advised against updating, noting problems people are having with low-flow toilets. (Porcelain of my older toilet is fine, but I was seeing leakage.) I followed his recommendation. Older toilet has been outfitted with new innards and there is no leakage. So far all is well and instead of paying $500 and buying new toilet problems, I have functioning older toilet for half the cost. I am very satisfied and will ask for this service person again.
