Toto Construction in Pajaro, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent Toto fixture installation, repair, and full bathroom construction across Pajaro and the surrounding 95076 area. What sets our Toto work here apart is straightforward: we know how post-flood moisture and Monterey County’s unincorporated permitting path affect every fixture decision, from a simple Drake flapper swap to a complete flood-resistant bathroom rebuild. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate on any Toto project in Pajaro.
Why Pajaro Residents Choose Us for Toto Service
We’ve installed and serviced Toto fixtures across North Monterey County for years, from single-flush toilet swaps in farmworker housing to full Washlet-ready bathroom rebuilds in flood-damaged homes. Our crew knows Toto’s fill-valve, flapper, and Washlet electronics quirks well enough to diagnose them on the first visit rather than guessing. That matters in Pajaro, where damp interiors and sediment-heavy water create failure patterns most general contractors in Pajaro never see.
Noel Carvalho grew up off El Camino Real in San Bruno, trained in construction technology at Skyline College, and has spent more than two decades running residential projects across the region. He built this company around one idea: coordinate every trade under one roof so homeowners don’t become part-time project managers. For Toto work in Pajaro, that means we handle the plumbing permit through Monterey County, the fixture install, the shower surround, the vanity, and the moisture remediation that older wood-frame homes here often need first. One contractor, every phase.
Our full Toto sales & service operation stocks genuine OEM fill valves, flappers, and Washlet control components so we’re not waiting on a distributor when your toilet is down.

Common Toto Construction Problems We Solve in Pajaro
- Washlet electronic seat failures from lingering damp. Control boards and pump assemblies corrode and short in Pajaro’s fog-heavy, post-flood interiors where humidity stays high long after drywall is up. We diagnose the board versus the pump first, then recommend OEM seat replacement when the bowl is still sound.
- Drake fill and flush valve wear from hard valley water and flood sediment. Sediment stirred up by river flooding chews through flappers and fill valves on Toto Drake CST744 and CST746 units, causing run-on and phantom flushing. We replace with genuine Toto parts, not generic flappers that cause incomplete flushes.
- Skirted toilet trapway leaks on Vespin II units. The concealed trapway on the Toto Vespin II hides slow seepage until the subfloor or cabinet toe-kick shows swelling. In Pajaro’s older single-story wood-frame homes, that swelling can go unnoticed for months. We catch it during bathroom remodels before it becomes a structural issue.
- Eco Ultramax flush-tower failures after flood events. Sediment intrusion during the 2023 levee failure packed flush towers and fouled G-Max systems on Toto Eco Ultramax MS854114 one-piece units, leaving weak flushes and repeated service calls. We rebuilt several of these in Pajaro with OEM tower assemblies and proper tank-level resets.
- Subfloor and flange damage beneath existing Toto fixtures. Many Pajaro homes had water sitting under toilets for days in March 2023. Wax rings failed, flanges rusted, and subfloors wicked moisture. We repair the rot, replace the flange, and reset the Toto fixture on a solid base rather than caulking over the problem.
Toto Service in Pajaro: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Pajaro is unincorporated, every bathroom or kitchen rebuild that touches Toto fixtures here pulls its plumbing and building permits through Monterey County, not a city department. That permit must clear floodplain and levee-adjacent review tied to the March 2023 Pajaro River levee failure, a permitting path unlike our Toto service in Watsonville. The county’s floodplain reviewers look at fixture placement, drain elevations, and whether the work triggers any flood-resistant construction requirements like raised floors or flood vents. It’s a slower, more layered process than across the river in Santa Cruz County. We know the flow of that review well enough to file correctly the first time, which keeps your Toto install from stalling at the counter.
Toto Models & Products We Service in Pajaro
We service and install the full Toto lineup that shows up most often in Pajaro homes: the Drake two-piece (CST744 and CST746), the Eco Ultramax one-piece (MS854114), the skirted Vespin II, and Washlet electronic bidet seats from the S550e down to the C200. Parts are where most contractors cut corners. We don’t. We use genuine Toto OEM fill valves, flappers, and Washlet control components because aftermarket flappers and generic seats frequently cause incomplete flushes or void the performance the fixture was engineered for. When a Washlet board or pump is at end of life and the toilet body is sound, we recommend replacing just the seat rather than the whole fixture. A cracked skirted bowl or failed one-piece body means full replacement, not a patch. We stock the common Toto repair parts for fast turnaround on Pajaro service area calls.

FAQs – Toto Construction in Pajaro
For a simple fixture swap with no plumbing line changes, Monterey County generally treats it as maintenance and no permit is required. But if the replacement involves moving the flange, changing drain lines, or any work tied to floodplain requirements, the county will want it permitted. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll tell you which applies to your job.
Often yes. The heating element and pump are the most likely casualties from sitting in damp, post-flood air. If the bowl and toilet body are sound, installing a new OEM Washlet seat usually makes more sense than replacing the entire fixture. On a flood-repaired home near the river levee side of town, we swapped a water-damaged Washlet seat whose control board had corroded from lingering damp, keeping the sound bowl and saving that homeowner a full-toilet replacement. Call (866) 472-1908 for a diagnostic visit.
Running after a rebuild usually means sediment from the construction or flood-repair phase worked its way into the fill valve, or the flapper isn’t seating against a perfectly dry surface. Pajaro’s hard valley water accelerates that wear. We replace the fill valve and flapper with OEM Toto parts and reset the tank level, which costs far less than chasing the problem with generic components. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll have it diagnosed the same visit.
Yes, but the rough-in matters. The Vespin II uses a Unifit adapter, which gives some flexibility on the 12-inch standard rough-in, but older Pajaro homes sometimes have non-standard rough-ins that need adjustment. We check the distance from the wall to the flange before you buy the fixture. For tight spaces in mid-century wood-frame homes, the skirted design also hides the trapway but can mask a slow leak, so we inspect the subfloor during install.
It shouldn’t, but Monterey County’s floodplain review will look at whether your bathroom work triggers additional requirements like flood vents or raised floor considerations. The fixture itself is not a floodplain issue. What matters is the permit path: unincorporated Pajaro jobs route through the county, not a city building department. We handle that paperwork so the Toto install gets approved within the broader rebuild. Call (866) 472-1908 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
