Toto Construction in Pajaro, CA | Workshop Contractors
We service the full range of Toto toilets, bidet seats, and lavatory faucets in Pajaro homes, and we do it with a specific understanding of what the 2023 levee breach did to plumbing and subfloors across this town. If your Toto fixture is rocking, leaking, running, or dead after the flood, we can tell you whether it’s a repair or a replacement before we touch a tool. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll schedule a free estimate at your place in the 95076.
We’re Noel Figueroa and the crew at Workshop Contractors. We’re an independent Toto service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, which means we work on what’s actually installed in Pajaro Valley homes rather than pushing one catalog. We carry OEM Toto valves and Washlet components for the models that show up here most, and we know which aftermarket parts hold up in hard water and damp crawlspaces. One contractor, every trade, from the Toto fixture to the subfloor underneath it.
Why Pajaro Residents Choose Us for Toto Service
Several contractors can install a toilet. Few can tell you why your Toto Drake is phantom-refilling at 3 a.m., whether it’s the fill valve or the flapper, and whether it’s worth fixing on a 1960s bowl. We’ve pulled enough Toto two-piece and one-piece models out of Toto in Las Lomas and Pajaro bathrooms to know their internals without staring at a diagram.
Noel Figueroa learned the trade from the generation of tradesmen who built the houses on his street in Ontario, and he’s never stopped treating a flood-damaged flange or a corroded trapway clip as a framing problem first and a fixture problem second. Build it right the first time. The second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy about it. That’s the lens we bring to every Toto job in Pajaro.
We use OEM Toto fill valves, flush valves, and Washlet internals for anything that affects function. For cosmetic trim or a backordered supply line, we’ll recommend a quality aftermarket part and tell you exactly why. You get a straight answer on repair versus replace, and you get it from a contractor who’s also the one resetting the flange and checking the subfloor.

Common Toto Construction Problems We Solve in Pajaro
- Constant running and weak flushes on Drake toilets. Pajaro’s water leans hard, and older homes here still have original galvanized supply lines shedding sediment. That combination wears out fill and flush valves faster than you’d expect. We replace them with OEM Toto parts and flush the supply line while we’re at it.
- Washlet seats that won’t heat or spray after damp winters. Fog off the Pajaro River and the Watsonville Slough keeps crawlspaces wet for months. Moisture intrusion into C100 and S500 series bidet seats kills sensors and heating elements. Sometimes it’s a cleanable connection; sometimes the control board is done. We’ll tell you which before quoting either way.
- Rocking Toto one-piece toilets with seepage at the base. The 2023 flood left a lot of Pajaro subfloors swollen and uneven, and a Toto one-piece sitting on a compromised flange will rock and break its wax seal. We replace the rotted section, reset the flange at the correct height, and reseat the fixture properly.
- Skirted Aquia models with corroded mounting clips. The concealed trapway design is beautiful until the mounting hardware corrodes from coastal moisture and you can’t remove the toilet for a bathroom redo without cracking the skirt. We know the clip locations and the right removal sequence for Aquia dual-flush models.
- Wax-ring and flange failures on flood-era repairs. Quick post-2023 repairs often skipped the subfloor check. A new wax ring on a bad flange lasts six months. We probe the flange and check for soft framing on every Toto we touch in Pajaro.
Toto Service in Pajaro: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pajaro’s waterlines and tide marks from the March 2023 flood mean many Toto toilets here were submerged or sat in damp crawlspaces for weeks. On every bathroom job we probe the flange and check for swollen subfloor before we touch the fixture. That step is routine here in a way it isn’t in Toto in Amesti or one town inland. A toilet that looks fine from above can be sitting on a subfloor that’s delaminating underneath, and no new wax ring will fix that.
Homes along the river side of town, where you still see waterlines on garage walls and foundation skirts, are the worst cases. The ground there stays saturated through most winters, and the crawlspace humidity creeps up into the framing. A Washlet installed in a bathroom attached to a damp crawlspace will corrode its internal connections over time. We’ve seen C100 seats fail a year after a cosmetic repair because the underlying moisture problem was never addressed. That’s the difference between a fixture swap and a real fix.
Another Pajaro-specific wrinkle: a lot of homes here carry owner-built additions that were never pulled through county permitting. That means floor heights, supply lines, and drain rough-ins can be non-standard. We’ve set Toto fixtures in bathrooms where the rough-in was 11¼ inches instead of 12, or where the supply stub came through the wall at an angle. It’s the kind of situation that turns a quick install into a wall-open job, and it’s common in this town.
Toto Models & Products We Service in Pajaro
We work on the models actually installed across Pajaro Valley and Toto service in Corralitos, not just the newest catalog. That includes the Toto Drake and Drake II elongated two-piece toilets, the Eco Ultramax one-piece low-flow series, the Aquia skirted dual-flush line, and the Washlet bidet seat family from the C100 through the S500 series. We also install and service Toto lavatory faucets and vessel-fill hardware in bathroom remodels.
On parts, our stance is simple: OEM Toto for fill valves, flush towers, and Washlet control components. Quality aftermarket for supply lines, angle stops, and cosmetic trim when the OEM part is backordered or overpriced for what it is. We stock common Toto valves on the truck, so a running Drake in Pajaro usually gets fixed the same visit rather than waiting on a parts order.

FAQs – Toto Construction in Pajaro
Most of the time, yes. The C100 and S500 series Washlets fail in predictable ways after sustained moisture exposure: the heating element shorts, a sensor connector corrodes, or the control board gets condensation damage. We diagnose the exact failure before quoting, and we use OEM Toto replacement boards and elements when repair makes sense. If the seat was submerged during the 2023 flood, replacement is usually the better call. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll take a look.
The flange underneath is failing, the subfloor has rotted or swollen, or both. In older wood-frame Pajaro homes, especially those that took on water in 2023, the subfloor around the toilet is often compromised. Rocking breaks the wax seal, and water seeps into the framing every flush. We fix the structural issue first, then reset the Toto on a new flange and wax ring. Call (844) 384-3361 for an inspection.
We do both. We install new Toto fixtures as part of full bathroom remodels, walk-in shower projects, and tub-to-shower conversions, and we also handle standalone fixture swaps. Since we’re a General Contractor – Pajaro, we can run the supply lines, repair the subfloor, set the tile, and set the Toto all under one contract. One contractor, every trade.
If the bowl and tank are sound, a running Drake is almost always worth repairing. A new OEM Toto fill valve and flapper typically resolves the constant running, and that’s a fraction of the cost of a new toilet. If the bowl is cracked or the flange area has rotted framing from flood damage, replacement is the honest call. We’ll tell you which one applies to your fixture in Pajaro. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll check it out.
Yes. We work on the mid-century wood-frame homes and farmworker housing that make up most of Pajaro’s housing stock, along with mobile homes and owner-built additions. Those properties often need flange work, subfloor repair, and supply-line upgrades before a Toto fixture will sit right, and we handle all of it in the same visit. That’s what we’re built for.
